New Ads on San Francisco MUNI Buses Criticized as Islamophobic

In San Francisco, new ads on several MUNI buses, funded by the American Freedom Defense Initiative, read: "In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man.  Support Israel, defeat Jihad."

The city has heard a public outcry to the ads, with citizens and advocacy groups deeming the ads inflammatory, Islamophobic, and racist.
