Stop Islamization of America ( SIOA ) and the '' Freedom Defense Initiative '' are designated as hate groups by the Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center . In August 2012 SIOA generated media publicity by sponsoring billboards in New York City Subway stations claiming there had been 19,250 terrorist attacks by Muslims since 9/11 and stating " it 's not Islamophobia , it 's Islamorealism . " It later ran advertisements reading " In any war between the civilized man and the savage , support the civilized man . Support Israel . Defeat Jihad . " Several groups condemned the advertisements as " hate speech " about all Muslims while others defended the ad as a narrow criticism of violent Jihadism . In early January 2013 the Freedom Defense Initiative put up advertisements next to 228 clocks in 39 New York subway stations showing the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center with a quote attributed to the 151st verse of chapter 3 of the Quran : " Soon shall we cast terror into the hearts of the unbelievers . " The New York City Transit Authority , which said it would have to carry the advertisements on First Amendment grounds , insisted that 25 % of the ad contain a Transit Authority disclaimer . These advertisements also were criticized
