I wouldn't be so sure about that. To do so would bring cries of (fill-in-the-blank)ism from the P.C. gestapo. Today's comics are chock full of P.C. crap; thank God for back issues. To me, this will forever be Ms. Marvel:

A group that is sharply critical of Islam recently bought space for anti-Islam ads on San Francisco buses. San Francisco had a First Amendment obligation to allow such ads; as a court recently held, once a city opens up a bus advertising program, it may not reject such ads based on their anti-Islam viewpoint.
But earlier this week, some people pasted over parts of the ads with a picture of Ms. Marvel, a Muslim American superhero recently introduced by Marvel Entertainment, and with stickers bearing various messages, including “Free Speech Isn’t a License to Spread Hate.” Is this action itself constitutionally protected free speech, as some have suggested?
No — just as it wouldn’t be protected free speech to take a pro-religious-tolerance advertisement (or a mosque advertisement) and paste anti-Islam messages over it. People have no right to just attach their own messages to city vehicles. Indeed, attaching messages that write over lawfully purchased advertising messages likely qualifies as “[d]amag[ing]” another’s property, or as “[d]efac[ing]” it by “mark[ing]” over it. (Attaching stickers is considered “mark[ing]” property, and marking is considered defacing even if it’s easy to remove. The statute I cite requires that the defacing or damaging be done “maliciously,” but that would likely be understood here as simply requiring that the defacing or damaging was done intentionally, rather than by accident.)

Let love be without dissimulation. Hating that which is evil, cleaving to that which is good. Romans 12:9
Put more simply.
If you love God you must hate evil.
Doesn't look halal to me!
Th-th-th-that's bullshit!
Apparently that never happened: http://www.snopes.com/politics/quotes/bechtol.asp
But was she married when she was 6, and circumcised painfully?
Man, that is a bitchin’ suit!
“Doesn’t look halal to me! “
But I’d eat it anyway.
They are free to purchase their own ads, which they have done. Vandalism is just a minor symptom. Islam encourages this anti-civilized behavior because it cannot handle the truth. Militant lying and murder is an inherent part of it. It cannot be reformed, it must be defeated and , God willing , destroyed.
LOL - I would bet against it... anyone know for sure?
“The right to swing one’s fist ends at the point of another persons nose’’.- Ben Franklin. No fan of Islam am I but either the bus company should not have taken the money for carrying the ads or the people who bought the ad space should have made it clear to the bus company what they intended to do. Somebody screwed up here.
Nuts!
Islamic dental floss?
I do not think anybody else could pull off that suit. Just wow! I am just amazed...and I can not figure out if it is because he can pull it off or because he would even try.
“... the people who bought the ad space should have made it clear to the bus company what they intended to do”
Not sure what your point is.
How do you know they didn’t? From the article:
“A group that is sharply critical of Islam recently bought space for anti-Islam ads on San Francisco buses. San Francisco had a First Amendment obligation to allow such ads; as a court recently held, once a city opens up a bus advertising program, it may not reject such ads based on their anti-Islam viewpoint.”
