 Mullany for News Upper West Sider and right-wing blogger Pamela Geller (below) is targeting the city's Muslims with an advertising campaign on city buses, including ad above. 
 
 A bikini-wearing blogger with Tea Party ties has placed ads on city buses aimed at outraging Muslims. 
 
 "Fatwa on your head? Is your community or family threatening you? Leaving Islam?" read the ads bought by rabble-rouser Pamela Geller and the New York-based Stop the Islamization of America. 
 
 They also direct Muslims to a Web site urging them to leave the "falsity of Islam." 
 
 Geller, 51, a leader in the fight against the proposed Ground Zero mosque, said she was "thrilled" that the ads were up - and doesn't care if they offend Muslims. 
 
 "Will it bother Islamic supremacists? Yes," she said. 
 
 Geller said she spent $10,000 - money raised by readers of her Atlas Shrugs blog - for 40 ads appearing on the sides of buses citywide for a month. 
 
 "There ought to be ads also for people who want to leave Islam," she said. "Their lives are threatened." 
 
 Similar bus ads have run in Miami - over the objections of local Muslims, who called them a "smoke screen for hatred" - and more are planned for Detroit. 
 
 An archconservative on the liberal upper West Side, Geller worked at the Daily News on the business side during the 1980s before moving to The New York Observer - a gig that apparently gave her access to City Hall, where she was photographed with Mayor Bloomberg. 
 
 Geller made a splash in the right-wing blogosphere four years ago by videotaping a denunciation of Palestinian terrorists - while dressed in a bathing suit and frolicking in the surf off Israel. 
 
 A year later, the racy right-winger donned another bikini to send Christmas greetings to the troops in Iraq. 
 
 "I want to thank the troops for sacrificing everything so I can be here in my bathing suit opening up my incredibly big mouth and saying exactly what I want," she said. 
 
 Geller wears a tight-fitting Superman outfit on her blog, which is replete with attacks on Islam and unfounded claims about President Obama. 
 
 Her blog is popular with the political right, and it earned her an invitation to speak at a recent Tea Party convention in Tennessee. 
 
 Her bus ads, however, angered Muslims in Astoria, Queens, yesterday. 
 
 "I feel angry, so angry, when people want to target my religion," said Ikraine Chemssy, 24. 
 
 "I think it's stupid, sorry," said Souad Azzam, 45. "You are free to believe whatever you want. If you are in it by force, you are not a real Muslim." 
 
 Asked about the controversial ads, MTA spokesman Aaron Donovan said they "did not violate the MTA's advertising guidelines."

 You know what someone should do something about? All those Muslims who are desperate to escape their religion but just haven't found the courage to do it because Islam is so violent. Luckily this blogger woman will save the day! 
 
 Pamela Geller is an Upper West Side conservablogger who is friends with Ann Coulter and once video-blogged an incredible Zionist rant while swimming in a bikini in Israel. She used to work for the New York Observer and runs a blog called Atlas Shrugs. Now she wants to help Muslims escape from Islam with a new series of ads that she paid $8,000 to put on the sides of MTA buses. They say: "Leaving Islam? Death fatwa on your head? Is your family threatening you?" And then they provide a website the Muslim can visit—refugefromislam.com—and then Pamela Geller will swoop down in an American Flag bikini and machine gun away all the murderous Imams who are keeping this Muslim person in a religion that is so full of hate and repression. 
 
 For some reason, many Muslims are offended that Pamela Geller wants to help them in this way. But, as Geller points out, there's nothing offensive about the ads at all! "It's not targeted at practicing Muslims," she tells the AP. "It doesn't say 'leave,' it says 'leaving' with a question mark." It's just a question, do Muslims hate freedom of speech? Is it because Muslims are violent freedom haters? See how that wasn't offensive? (Although the title of refugefromislam.com is, in fact, "Leave Islam".) 
 
 Still, some Muslims are calling these new ads "a smoke screen for an anti-Muslim agenda." Muslims! Sure, Geller runs an organization called "Stop Islamization of America," (LOL). But that is clearly an anti-Islamization of America organization. Or are these Muslims pro Islamization of America? (Did you see, again, how that wasn't offensive?) We salute you, Pamela Geller, in your noble quest to save Muslims from the violent death religion that is Islam. Or are you a hateful person? [NYDN][AP] ||||| NYC bus ads asking 'Leaving Islam?' cause a stir 
 
 NEW YORK — The questions on the ads aren't subtle: Leaving Islam? Fatwa on your head? Is your family threatening you? 
 
 A conservative activist and the organizations she leads have paid several thousand dollars for the ads to run on at least 30 city buses for a month. The ads point to a website called RefugefromIslam.com, which offers information to those wishing to leave Islam, but some Muslims are calling the ads a smoke screen for an anti-Muslim agenda. 
 
 Pamela Geller, who leads an organization called Stop Islamization of America, said the ads were meant to help provide resources for Muslims who are fearful of leaving the faith. 
 
 "It's not offensive to Muslims, it's religious freedom," she said. "It's not targeted at practicing Muslims. It doesn't say 'leave,' it says 'leaving' with a question mark." 
 
 Geller said the ad buy cost about $8,000, contributed by the readers of her blog, Atlas Shrugs, and other websites. Similar ads have run on buses in Miami, and she said ad buys were planned for other cities. 
 
 Metropolitan Transportation Authority officials said Geller's ad was reviewed and did not violate the agency's guidelines. 
 
 "The religion in question would not change the determination that the language in the ad does not violate guidelines," MTA spokesman Kevin Ortiz said Wednesday. 
 
 All ads are screened, MTA spokesman Aaron Donovan said. Most are reviewed by the company that handles the MTA's advertising opportunities, but some are sent to the MTA for ultimate approval. 
 
 Last month, Miami-Dade Transit pulled the ads from 10 buses after deciding they "may be offensive to Islam," according to The Miami Herald. But the agency decided to reinstall them after reviewing the ads with the county attorney's office. 
 
 The county decided "although they may be considered offensive by some, they do not fall under the general guidelines that would warrant their removal," Transit spokesman Clinton Forbes told the newspaper. 
 
 Glenn Smith, a professor at California Western School of Law in San Diego, said discriminating against the ads could result in First Amendment issues for the city. 
 
 While people may find the content objectionable, courts have ruled that the First Amendment requires Americans to put up with "a lot of unenlightened and objectionable messages," he said. 
 
 "It's sort of the price of keeping government out of the marketplace of ideas," he said. 
 
 Eugene Volokh, a First Amendment expert at UCLA School of Law, said the ads could leave some Muslims reluctant to ride the bus. There could also be a risk that some extremist groups might bomb the buses, although that possibility wouldn't limit free speech rights, he said. 
 
 The agency had received no complaints since the ads went up on May 14, MTA spokesman Aaron Donovan said. The 30 or so buses with the ads pass through all five boroughs of the city. 
 
 Council member Robert Jackson, a Muslim, said he had not seen the ad. But he questioned the criteria the MTA uses in determining what is appropriate. 
 
 He also takes issue with the content. He doesn't believe anyone is being forced to stay in a religion, especially in America, which was built on religious freedom. 
 
 "I think this is a campaign by the extreme right, those that are against the Muslim religion," he said. "Quite frankly, I would think the average New Yorker would take it for what it's worth." 
 
 Faiza Ali, of the New York chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said the ads were based on a false premise that people face coercion to remain with Islam. She said Muslims believe faith that is forced is not true belief. 
 
 "Geller is free to say what she likes just as concerned community members are free to criticize her motives," Ali said. 
 
 Geller has a history of speaking out against Muslims, and the ads are "a smoke screen to advance her long-standing history of anti-Muslim bigotry," Ali said. 
 
 Geller said she had no problem with Muslims, but was working to "maintain the separation of mosque and state." She is also among those speaking out against the building of a mosque and cultural center near ground zero.

– A New York City blogger is launching a crusade against "the Islamization of America" —using the sides of 40 NYC buses. "Fatwa on your head? Is your community or family threatening you? Leaving Islam?" read the ads pasted on the buses. "Got questions? Get Answers" it continues. The ads then refer people to a website that decries 'the falsity of Islam,' reports the Daily News. The campaign is the work of Pamela Geller, a right-wing New Yorker best known for video-blogging her bikini-clad, anti-Palestinian rant, notes Gawker. Geller insists the campaign is helpful, not hurtful. "It's not offensive to Muslims, it's religious freedom," she tells the AP. "It's not targeted at practicing Muslims. It doesn't say 'leave,' it says 'leaving' with a question mark."
