Image of the Day

Hindus and Muslims ever since 2001 when they put down the twin towers
I’ve been beating them up.”
The murder of Mr. Sen at a New York Subway Station comes only
weeks after Pamela Geller placed hate-ads targeting the Arab and Muslim
community in subway stations across New York. One of the ads
insinuated that Arab and Muslims are “savages” and another ad has an
image of the World Trade Center exploding next to a quote from the
Quran.
Mr. Sen’s murder is a clear example of how hate speech can lead to
and incite violence against Arabs, Muslims, and those perceived to be
Arab or Muslim. ADC, and hundreds of diverse coalition partners, have
been warning public officials about the impact the ads can have against
community members. The promotion and placement of advertisements
targeting and vilifying any community must not be tolerated.
ADC calls on the Metropolitan Transit Authority, and appropriate law
enforcement agencies, to immediately investigate the role the ads played
in the death of Mr. Sen.
Pamela Geller is recognized as being at the core of a group promoting
intolerance of Muslims and Arabs in America. The Southern Poverty Law
Center, a group that monitors the hate movement in the United States,
calls her “the anti-Islam movement’s most visible and flamboyant
figurehead.”
ADC, along with NY civic and community leaders, calls on all Arab
and Muslims in New York City to exercise extreme caution and diligence
when using the subway system. ADC will continue to monitor the matter
and work to make certain adequate measures are taken to ensure the safety
and protection of Arabs, Muslims, and those perceived to be Arab or
Muslim, in New York. Read more about this horrendous crime.
