Pamela Geller Exercises Her First Amendment Rights Again
Controversial 'Islamorealism' Ads Go Up In Metro-North Stations In WestchesterAn anti-Islamic advertisement has gone up at several Metro-North Railroad stations in Westchester County. It reads: "It's not Islamophobia ...the irrational fear that Moslems will act the way they usually do... , it's Islamorealism."
The Defense Initiative is led by blogger and political activist Pamela Geller.

Some Metro-North commuters were shocked to see the ads early Friday morning, but others didn't see it as much of an issue.
