After Publishing 'Horrific' Full Page Ad

The Tennessean, based in Nashville and one of the biggest newspapers in Tennessee, published a full-page, Islamophobic ad in their Sunday paper, which was criticized on social media for dangerously stoking fear and hate against the Muslim community. Now, the paper said it is investigating the advertisement.

The paid advertisement was from a fringe religious group, The Ministry of Future for America, and it made unsubstantiated claims that “Islam is going to detonate a nuclear device in Nashville, Tennessee,” basing its evidence off of “Bible prophecy.”

The ad specifically blames Islam for bringing about a future World War III, saying the religion’s “role is to bring all men on planet earth [sic] together to combat them. Islam is the issue that pushes the world into a one-world government as the world attempts to address the escalating warfare brought by the Islamic religion.”

The ad, which featured pictures of President Donald Trump and Pope Francis II, also identifies Trump as the “final President of the USA.”

1. The final republican POTUS would be more accurate

Nashville should know better. Shame on the Tennessean.
