WASHINGTON – Advertisements sponsored by a Muslim advocacy group were unveiled Friday in response to a pro-Israel ad posted in four Metro stations this week.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations plans to have the ads installed at three Metro stations by next Wednesday, according to council national executive director Nihad Awad.
The ad quotes a verse from the Quran: “Show forgiveness, speak for justice and avoid the ignorant.”
The ads will stay up for a month in the Glenmont, Georgia Avenue-Petworth and U Street Metro stations – three of the four stations featuring pro-Israel ads that equate radical Muslims with “savages.”
