New York ( CNN ) -- `` Fatwa on your head ? '' a new series of provocative ads on New York City buses asks . `` Is your community or family threatening you ? Leaving Islam ? '' The ads , sponsored by an organization called Stop the Islamization of America ( SIOA ) , direct viewers to refugefromislam.com , a website designed `` for people who are thinking of leaving Islam or are leaving Islam and need resources '' to protect them from harm . Practicing Muslims who find the ads offensive should `` ignore it , '' SIOA leader Pamela Geller told CNN . `` It 's not directed to them . '' Speaking on conservative Sean Hannity 's radio show recently , Geller said , `` it 's time for Americans to stand up against the evil of Islamic jihadi terrorism and Islamic supremacism . '' The SIOA , which is funded by its online readership , is currently lobbying to block a mosque proposed near the World Trade Center site . The Council on American-Islamic Relations in New York says the ads are nothing more than `` Islam bashing . '' `` Islamophobes are notorious for their cheap tactics that seek to marginalize American Muslims and divide communities , '' CAIR Community Affairs director Faiza Ali said in a statement . `` Pamela Geller uses the same tactics as tobacco companies , hiding the cancerous nature of her agenda behind a smokescreen of feigned concern . Geller is free to say what she likes , just as concerned community members are free to critique her tactics and motives , '' Ali said . Speaking at a Tennessee `` Tea Party '' convention earlier this week , Geller called CAIR an `` unindicted co-conspirator Muslim-brotherhood front Hamas-tied '' organization . Although the same campaign caused controversy when SIOA bought ad space on public buses in Miami , New York Metropolitan Transit Authority spokesman Aaron Donovan told CNN that no one has asked the MTA to remove the ads yet . `` We have not gotten complaints on it , to be honest , '' he said . Like most ads seen on MTA subway cars and buses , the campaign will run a month . Last April , Donovan remembered , the MTA ran ads for whyislam.org -- an organization which encourages visitors to explore the Quran and seeks to `` challenge popular stereotypes and misconceptions about Islam '' -- on the subway system . All subway and bus ads seen on New York City public transportation are handled by a contractor who vets ads with MTA officials before running them , he said .
Controversial TV ads target those practicing Islam . Ads placed by Stop Islamization of America group . New York MTA , no complaints have been received .
