Placed on the sides of MUNI buses by anti-Islamic, pro-Israel group American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI), the provocative ads compare Muslims to Nazis in their treatment of the Jewish people.
“Stop the hate,” some ads originally said. “End all U.S. aid to Islamic countries.”
Some claimed the Koran orders followers to hate Jews.
“Islamic Jew hatred,” the ads read. “It's in the Quran.”
Others showed Hitler talking to anti-Zionism Palestinian leaders.
The replacement posters, feature Kamala Khan, a Pakistani-American Marvel Comics superhero, saying "Islamophobia hurts us all” and urging “bigotry busters” to “stamp out racism.”
