The American Freedom Defense Initiative hosted a contest in May 2015 that would award $10,000 for the best cartoon depicting the Prophet Muhammad. For most Muslims, any depiction of Muhammad, even if positive, is regarded as an insult toon the event. Both were killed. After the event, Pamela Geller, the founder of the initiative, sought ad space with thesubway that read: “In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man.
Last year WallBuilders submitted posters meant for Metro buses. Its initial posters displayed the word “Christian?” imposed over paintings of America’s Founding Fathers. Beneath the header, it read, “To find out about the faith of our founders, go to wallbuilders.com” along with a QR code. WMATA rejected the group, citing its guidelines. WallBuilders then removed all the text except “visit wallbuilders.com” and resubmitted. Those redesigned ads were also rejected.
This isn’t the first time that WMATA’s ad guidelines have been challenged in court. In 2018, the Catholic Archdiocese of Washington sued the transit authority after it refused to run its “Find the Perfect Gift” ad on the outside of buses. The ad depicted a starry night and the silhouettes of three shepherds and sheep on a hill facing a bright shining star high in the sky.
