Watching so many anti American protests take place across the Middle East and now we're hearing concerns from America's biggest transit system.

That a new ad campaign set to hit the New York City Subway system could add some fuel -- the fire right here at home.

Trace Gallagher.

In fact the group is called the American freedom defense initiative -- and they're kind of taken a step further saying despite what's going on the Middle East it has not changed their mind one bit they want these ads posted on the transit system in New York.

And they want it done now and apparently they have a judge is backing a judge says that the First Amendment protects him.

This is the ad right here it says in any war between the civilized man and the savage support the civilized man goes on as you can see to -- support Israel defeat Jihad.

In between two stars of David now at first the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority and TA rejecting the ads for demeaning language about is law.

Well now and DA says look their hands are tied.

And the ads will begin running next week in and subway stations in New York now.

-- FBI also bought ad space in DC but DC kind of played it differently the transit authority there.

Said that they're not running the ads for concern out of public safety the executive director of -- FBI's says.

That BDC authority is kowtowing.

Is kowtowing to the threat of G -- terror and this is statement from care.

Right they say we are really troubled that this hate group is disguising anti Muslim bigotry.

With support for Israel the executive director of AF BI says the only thing they hate is violence.

As.

I am saying -- -- I am not saying all Muslims -- anyone that says that this -- is against all Muslims in my opinion.

Is it true Islamic -- because -- -- all Muslims.

That the subscribe to Jihad and all Muslims hate the Jews in -- Israel and I don't believe that.

By the way these ads also ran on municipal transit buses in San Francisco but that city put.

Disclaimers next to him saying they do not support the ads and all the ad money that was generated on those buses was donated.

To charity but beginning next week the ads go up in ten.

Subway stations.

In midtown Manhattan.

-- -- Trace thank you.
