STAMFORD — -- Metro-North Railroad is reviewing its advertising
policies after the latest controversial billboard linking Islam to
terrorist attacks that currently appear at a handful of New Haven Line
stations.
"They
shouldn't have it up because all it does is add to an environment
where everybody is mad and fighting each other," Harris said. "All it
seems to do is insult and upset people, and if people want to have
their view respected, they should show respect."
At the Darien rail station, Jonathan Suarez, 31, said he thought that
advertisements whether pro-Israel or Palestinian were inappropriate for
display along the rail tracks.
"If it's upsetting
people
I'm not surprised," Suarez said. "I don't think its appropriate to be
putting up those types of advertisements on controversial subjects."
Simone Harris, of Norwalk, who commutes into the Darien station said
the advertisement taken out by Geller's group seemed inflammatory, but
said it and the pro-Palestinian advertisements were just examples of a
wider lack of civility in public debate.
At the Greenwich station, the ad
has been ripped in half.

"They
shouldn't have it up because all it does is add to an environment
where everybody is mad and fighting each other,"
? Who is everybody? It
seems to me the only people who could possibly
be upset by the ad are Islamo terrorists, and fellow travelers.
By the way, Pam Geller's American Freedom Defense Initiative
paid for the signs. Clap Calp Clap Pam.
