An Anti-Islam Bus Ads on San Francisco buses shocks the Muslim World.

According to the report from huffingtonpost, the fight over place of Islam in popular culture came roaring back to the forefront of San Francisco public transit recently as a series of anti-Islamic billboards from the American Freedom Defense Initiative began running on Muni buses across the city this week.

After New York City was forced to allow ads from Pamela Geller's American Freedom Defense Initiative by a court order, San Francisco allowed the ads on buses. The ads have been widely condemned by CAIR, the ADL, and the SFJCC.

The ads read as:

"In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man. Support Israel, Defeat Jihad"

Huffingtonpost added, that as a result of the widespread criticism, SFMTA donated all revenue generated from the ads to the city's Human Rights Commission and posted written apologies on the other side of buses that were running the ads.
