A federal judge has ordered New York City’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority to let ads run for the light-hearted documentary “The Muslims Are Coming!,” citing that the transportation agency improperly labeled the ads political in nature.
“An arbitrary conclusion by some official at the MTA, untethered to any articulated or articulable standard, that an advertisement including the word ‘Muslims’ is ‘political,’ is utterly unreasonable,” writes U.S. District Judge Colleen McMahon. “The evidence before the court plainly indicates that VQP’s silly advertisements were subject to greater scrutiny than other potentially controversial ads.”
