Let's have a look at the SIOA victory in the media. The dhimmis in big media won't touch it, but they'll run un-indicted co-conspirator, hamas-tied, Muslim Brotherhood front CAIR's propaganda unedited and unqualified.
It is galling how the free (but shackled) press assumes their freedoms will always be there when forces of evil are working so feverishly to dismantle them. Breathtaking.
Brave media? CNS and WND. Robert said, "Despite the important free speech aspects of this story, and despite the fact that the Hamas-linked Islamic supremacists of CAIR have never before been dealt such a defeat, the mainstream media (including the allegedly conservative media) is -- not surprisingly -- ignoring the story of the restoration of our SIOA bus ads, with the notable exception of CNS News."
Activists Claim Free Speech Victory As 'Leaving Islam' Ads Return to BusesCNSNews.com - International Editor
(CNSNews.com) – A public transit authority in Florida has reversed a decision to take down banner advertisements on buses that offer help to Muslims wanting to leave their faith. Activists are hailing the move as a victory for free speech and religious freedom.SIOA says the “Leaving Islam” ads, top, were launched partly in response to a campaign supported by CAIR, which ran banner ads (below) inviting non-Muslims to embrace Islam.

Not only will the ten originally planned ads appear on Miami-Dade Transit buses in coming days, but an additional 20 ads will be run at no extra cost.
The decision came after the group initiating the ad campaign threatened a lawsuit, claiming breach of contract and violation of First Amendment rights.

Leaving Islam' ads return to Miami buses
'This is a huge victory on the constitutional issues'Posted: April 22, 2010
Bus ads offering support to Muslims wanting to leave Islam that were censored just days ago by the Miami-Dade Transit agency because of complaints from Muslims are being returned to the streets, this time in even greater numbers.
The ads are the work of Pamela Geller of Atlas Shrugs and Robert Spencer of JihadWatch through the Stop Islamization of America initiative.
On the Stop Islamization website, a statement said, "Not only will [Freedom Defense Initiative] and SIOA's buses be going back up, but another 20 will be added to the existing [campaign]."
Ads pulled from Miami transit buses after CAIR complained"This is a huge victory on the constitutional issues. This is the work of SIOA. Have you joined our Facebook group yet? … Robert and I want to roll this out nationwide. We have no big money, big donors. … We are two people fighting with all the gusto we can muster."
The transit agency did not respond to a WND request for comment.
The Stop Islamization statement explained how the controversy developed.
"When the South Florida chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) pressured the Miami-Dade Country Transit Authority to yank bus panel ads contracted and paid for by Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer of the Freedom Defense Initiative because the ads were 'offensive to Muslims,' the two activists turned to the Law Offices of David Yerushalmi, P.C. for help. Mr. Yerushalmi joined forces with the Thomas More Law Center and the two law firms began preparing a federal complaint alleging breach of contract and a violation of Ms. Geller's and Mr. Spencer's First Amendment Rights.
There's more. Go.
