Its ridiculous how this advertising campaign is seen as a postive. Ahh yes, next to adverts of David Beckham in underwear, and models advertising perfumes and clothing, comes a "i am muslim, i am american" ad. And whats being sold? Oh thats right, NOTHING! Lets see if we can remember the last time so much money was spent to show a "i am jewish. i am american" ad, or "i am black. i am american" ad. Yet again, muslims are forced to pay (well not literally, but i'm sure CAIR should have spent all the ad money on something that would actually directly benefit muslims.. more on that after this bracket!) for being muslim. Almost 10 years later, Muslims still have to advertise themselves and apologise for being muslims. If ignorant americans, or tourists in NYC, havent realised that being a muslim american is fine as it is for a jewish american for example, then no amount of wasted money on ad campaigns will work. It really makes me laugh that CAIR should waste all that money on expensive ads which noone will pay any attention to. Maybe they should have contributed all that money to homeless americans, maybe that would have hit the news more than this and showed americans that muslims are really americans by helping their own, ie. americans and not muslims.
