NYPD beefs up presence near anti-Muslim posters<\/strong>
\n26 September, 2012 – Al Akhbar<\/p>\n

A battle against anti-Islam ads in New York subway stations is heating up, as critics step up criticisms of the pro-Israel posters, prompting the New York Police Department to beef up its presence at the stations.<\/p>\n

NYPD deployed additional troops to ten subway stations where the anti-Islam ads stand, according to a report by the New York Post Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The newspaper also published a video to its website showing well-known Egyptian-American journalist, Mona Altahawy, apparently trying to cover one of the posters with pink spray paint. A woman named Pamela Hall mounted a camera and stood between the ad and Eltahawy. A screaming match between the two ensued, as a New York Post camera crew stood nearby filming the incident.<\/p>\n

It is not clear how Hall, reportedly an Islamophobic blogger, along with the newspaper photographers, happened to be at the same time and place where the high-profile Eltahawy hoped to commit her protest act.<\/p>\n

Eltahawy was arrested after police arrived at the scene of the altercation.<\/p>\n

The posters which reads \u201cIn any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man. Support Israel, defeat Jihad\u201d, inspired a wave of criticisms from activists in the US. A Muslim lobby group, the Council of American Islamic Relations, has called on New Yorkers to repudiate hate speech.<\/p>\n

The advertisement, funded by the pro-Israel American Freedom Defense Initiative, was initially rejected by the city’s transportation authority.<\/p>\n

One of the posters was torn down by a passerby just hours after it was posted. …source<\/a><\/p>\n
