The group that equated Muslim radicals with savages in advertisements last year has put up another set of provocative ads in dozens of New York City subway stations.
The American Freedom Defense Initiative purchased space next to 228 clocks in 39 stations for ads with an image of the burning World Trade Center and a quote attributed to the Quran saying: “Soon shall we cast terror into the hearts of the unbelievers.”
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority said the ads went up Monday and will run for a month.
The same group paid for ads to be displayed in 10 stations in September. Those ads implied enemies of Israel are “savages.”
The MTA also sold space last year to competing advertisements that urged tolerance.

This is not good for the Jews. Discuss.
In a way it’s not good news for the Jews(Israelis) but then neither was Jesus’ calling the Pharisees “hypocrites in that day. Even though Jews were under Roman rule technically, the ruling class in the synagogue called the shots on every other aspect of daily Hebrew life.
My feeling here is that many Jews are riding on a wave that has it’s root in the Bible/Torah, but, I believe many Jews feel they are back in their land by human efforts and not the will of God.
All through the Old Testament we read, “And then they will know I Am God!”
I don’t think the average Israeli is at that point yet.
