Some positive anti-Islamophobic messages from Jewish and Christian Americans countering the hate-messages by a vocal few who have taken out ads on NY subway (and elsewhere).

It is a shame that this section is now so infected with hate. :(

Rabbi Jill Jacobs explains message behind New York subway ads

Inae Oh of the Huffington Post interviews Rabbi Jill Jacobs, executive director of Rabbis for Human Rights-North America, which took out an advertisement urging New York subway users to “help stop bigotry against our Muslim neighbors”, in an effort to counter Pamela Geller’s notorious “savages” ad. Rabbi Jacobs explains:

“I was very concerned that people might think that these ads speak for the Jewish community, as Geller couches her anti-Muslim message in the language of supporting Israel. The suggestion that she is speaking only about terrorists, and not about Muslims in general, falls apart as soon as you read her writings, which are fear mongering about Muslims in the U.S. and in the world, and about Islam as a religion.”

She adds: “I want to spread the message that 1800 rabbis – along with the majority of the American Jewish community – believes in partnership with our Muslim neighbors. We, of course, oppose all acts of terrorism. We will not, however, allow the actions of a small minority to be an excuse for dehumanizing an entire people.”

Islam is just a issue now all over the world .

Its a way to do anything by saying we are destroying bad stuffs .

any body doing a wrong they are blaming Islam . then is there no rule in Islam to punish muslims who can execute anything ?

yes but we are thinking in a different way .
