Religious Groups To Hang Pro-Muslim Ads In NYC Subways

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) – Two religious groups will hang subway ads urging tolerance alongside anti-jihad advertisements that went up last month.
The ads by Rabbis for Human Rights – North America and the Christian group Sojourners will go up Monday. They’ll hang in the 10 Manhattan subway stations where the anti-jihad ads implying enemies of Israel are “savages” appear
The Rabbis’ ad says “In the choice between love and hate, choose love. Help stop bigotry against our Muslim neighbors.” The Christian ad states: “Love your Muslim neighbors.”
In a statement explaining the ad campaign, Sojourners president and CEO Rev. Jim Wallis said “When Jesus said, ‘love your neighbor as yourself’ he didn’t add stipulations. He didn’t offer any extra addendums or added qualifiers. Christians around the world need to put that into action as often as we can, especially where we see hatred like this.”
