A spokesman for the > Metro system said it would comply with the judge's decision and that the > advertisements would go up over the weekend. > > "The result is absolutely correct," said David Yerushalmi, a lawyer > representing the American Freedom Defense Initiative, the organization > behind the advertisements. "There simply was no way under the First > Amendment jurisprudence that we have today that this ad should not have > gone up when contracted." > > The one-page ruling from U.S. District Judge Mary Collyer follows a > similar court order in New York that cleared the way for anti-jihad ads to > go up in that city's subway system last month. The ads read: "In any war > between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man. > Support Israel. Defeat Jihad." > > Debate over the ads flared two weeks ago against the backdrop of violent > reaction in the Middle East to the online video, "Innocence of Muslims," > which denigrated the prophet Muhammad. Metro had delayed approving the ads > because of safety concerns and the uproar over that video. > > The transit system's lawyers called the ad's message "fighting words in > the context of current events" and said the FBI was investigating a promise > of violence if the ads ran in Washington. Still, the violence that roiled > the region has largely abated since then, and there have been few reports > of mischievous or hostile reactions to the ads since they appeared in New > York. > > The New York ads went up in 10 stations across Manhattan on Sept. 24. > Since then, an Egyptian-born U.S. columnist was arrested for spray-painting > the ad, though two religious groups say that, starting Monday, they'll hang > ads urging tolerance alongside the anti-jihad ones. The ads also appeared > recently on city buses in San Francisco, where some have been defaced or > have had words removed. > > The ads won't be particularly visible in the Metro system. One ad will > appear in each of four Metro stations for one month, said Metro spokesman > Dan Stessel.**** > > ** ** > > __._,_.___ > Reply via web > post<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Individual-Sovereignty/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJyMjE4Z3Y1BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzI0MjA3MzcEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MzAzMjkyBG1zZ0lkAzI4NDI3MQRzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNycGx5BHN0aW1lAzEzNDk2Mjk4ODQ-?act=reply&messageNum=284271> > Reply > to sender > <[email protected]?subject=Re%3A%20Judge%3A%20DC%20Metro%20Must%20Allow%20Anti-Jihad%20Ads> > Reply > to group > <[email protected]?subject=Re%3A%20Judge%3A%20DC%20Metro%20Must%20Allow%20Anti-Jihad%20Ads> > Start > a New > Topic<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Individual-Sovereignty/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJlNjI5bmk1BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzI0MjA3MzcEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MzAzMjkyBHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA250cGMEc3RpbWUDMTM0OTYyOTg4NA--> > Messages > in this > topic<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Individual-Sovereignty/message/284271;_ylc=X3oDMTM4ZDl1azVyBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzI0MjA3MzcEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MzAzMjkyBG1zZ0lkAzI4NDI3MQRzZWMDZnRyBHNsawN2dHBjBHN0aW1lAzEzNDk2Mjk4ODQEdHBjSWQDMjg0Mjcx>(1) > Recent Activity: > > - New > Members<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Individual-Sovereignty/members;_ylc=X3oDMTJmb3JiY3IxBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzI0MjA3MzcEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MzAzMjkyBHNlYwN2dGwEc2xrA3ZtYnJzBHN0aW1lAzEzNDk2Mjk4ODQ-?o=6> > 1 > > Visit Your > Group<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Individual-Sovereignty;_ylc=X3oDMTJlNGZjdWc4BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzI0MjA3MzcEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MzAzMjkyBHNlYwN2dGwEc2xrA3ZnaHAEc3RpbWUDMTM0OTYyOTg4NA--> > Report any problems, suggestions or abuse to > [email protected] > > [image: Yahoo! > Groups]<http://groups.yahoo.com/;_ylc=X3oDMTJkOWQwY29oBF9TAzk3NDc2NTkwBGdycElkAzI0MjA3MzcEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MzAzMjkyBHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA2dmcARzdGltZQMxMzQ5NjI5ODg0> > Switch to: > Text-Only<[email protected]?subject=Change+Delivery+Format:+Traditional>, > Daily > Digest<[email protected]?subject=Email+Delivery:+Digest>• > Unsubscribe<[email protected]?subject=Unsubscribe>• > Terms > of Use <http://docs.yahoo.com/info/terms/> • Send us Feedback > <[email protected]?subject=Feedback+on+the+redesigned+individual+mail+v1> > . > > __,_._,___ >
