Why Islam?
I just read this article on CNN.com and it got me to thinking. Why not Christianity? I don't have $48000, but that's not a great deal of money for advertising on 1000 subway cars running in New York City for a whole month. A typical billboard can run around $1000 dollars per month. This program is running at $48 per month per ad. That is a steal in any market, but New York!? We are talking a population of 8,000,000 and a Metro population in the 20,000,000 ballpark. Add in millions of visitors and you are talking about a huge audience for $48 per ad. So if the question IS why Islam? The other question should also be, why not Christianity? A personal note to this post is, our family is expecting to be in New York around the times this ad will be running. I don't know if we'll be able to go, but we are trying to make it happen. If I do go, I'll be sure to take some pictures.

What's unbelievable is that this is the guy who led a prayer in Congress. Ans a character witness for terrorists, who calls our the FBI and CIA terrorists...nice.
Yeah, I don't feel great about the guy, but I don't necessarily feel bad about a group who doesn't hate America advertising Islam on the subway cars of our largest city...as long as a Christian group could get the same price.
You're right...that's some good deal!
Y not Judeism?
Or even maybe atheism?
Or maybe even agnosticism????
Just a quick update. We will almost certainly be going to NY from the 27th -3rd. I'll be sure to have the camera ready and get a few pics of these ads.
