CAIR Video: Radical Right Group Sponsors NY Anti-Islam Bus Ads

"The real concern that I have is that this radical right organization is exploiting our American tragedy, one of the most horrible things that happened to our nation, in order to further their extremist agenda and that is just despicable," said Zead Ramadan of The Council of American-Islamic Relations of New York.

The attorney who sued the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority on behalf of the anti-Islam bus ad sponsors is David Yerushalmi.

Yerushalmi heads a racist hate group that has advocated prison terms for "adherence to Islam." In a 2007 commentary, he called for a "war against Islam and all Muslim faithful." He wrote in part: "At a practical level, this means that Shari'a and Islamic law are immediately outlawed. Any Moslem in America who adopts historical and traditional Shari'a will be subject to deportation. Mosques which adhere to Islamic law will be shut down permanently."
