Montgomery County’s Human Rights Commission is the latest group to condemn what it calls “hateful rhetoric” in a set of controversial ads placed inside the Metro system.

The ads from the American Freedom Defense Initiative went up in the Metro system on Oct. 8 after a federal court ruled the transit agency could no longer delay posting them under the First Amendment. The ads read: “In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man. SupportIsrael. Defeat Jihad.'” The four ads were posted on train platforms along the Red and Yellow/Green lines, including one in Montgomery County’s Glenmont station.
