Calling them "outrageous, inflammatory and wrong," Mayor de Blasio on Friday blasted an incendiary new ad campaign that bashes aspects of Islam.
One of the ads, which will appear on 100 buses and at two subway entrances, includes an image of American journalist James Foley just before he was beheaded.
In a statement to the Daily News, de Blasio said the ads had "no place in New York City, or anywhere."

Controversial conservative blogger Pamela Geller is bankrolling the ad blitz, at a cost of $100,000. In an interview, she called it an "education campaign" to highlight the dangers of jihadist ideology. She insisted that she isn't anti-Islam.

Not anti-Islamic? Bullshit. She's as racist and anti-Islamic as anyone could possibly be:

The ads are vile and can be viewed at the Daily News link.
