The face of a savage. In response to the hate ads in the NY subway.  #MyJihad

In response to the recent commotion about Pamela Gellar’s hate ads placed in the NY Subway, the Muslim Student Association at Washington University in St. Louis is calling out what both sides of the debate seem to be missing, namely the blatant misuse of Jihad as if it were synonymous with terrorism.

WUSTL MSA believes the best response to a hateful ad campaign is to convert it into an opportunity to promote awareness and mutual understanding on our campus. An opportunity to take back jihad from anti-Muslim and Muslim extremists one hashtag at a time. 

So mark your calendars, invite your friends, and start sharing your #MYJihad thoughts on this facebook page/ via personal statuses/tweets etc.

Ayah has been doing a baller job of kicking this off at WashU. Spread the campaign from wherever you can, that’s what I’m doing in support.
