Not sure this was posted, but here is is. I'm surprised these ads even made it on buses here in the Bay.

Either way, I thought this was pretty cool. Not sure what others might think.

*******

It's something called free speech. It may be a distasteful opinion but
they have their right to have their ad on the bus. Same thing has been
done to billboards from the Central Valley Coalition of Reason and it
was defaced just like these bus ads "Don't believe in god? Join the
club." "Don't was defaced.



"You want free speech? Let's see you acknowledge a man whose
words make your blood boil, who's standing center stage and
advocating at the top of his lungs that which you would spend a
lifetime opposing at the top of yours. You want to claim this land as
the land of the free? Then the symbol of your country can't just be a
flag; the symbol also has to be one of its citizens exercising his right
to burn that flag in protest. Show me that, defend that, celebrate that
in your classrooms. Then, you can stand up and sing about the "land
of the free"

I think I understand and support the intention 100%. But let's be honest, Muslims is not a race, and prejudice against Muslims is bigotry, not "racism".
