All this bus add does is call jihadist "uncivilized". Although I don't agree with putting controversial political or religious statements into the public sphere in general, I don't see how this is any different than "Israel Apartheid Week" or any of the other constant messages coming from the pro-Palestinian camp.

I think you could make a pretty strong argument that this is inviting imminent violence, which admittedly puts a bit of a twist on the typical hate speech doctrines.
I just see it as an intentional attempt to add fuel to the fire, and the geographic placement as an attempt to provoke another incident in NYC in order to pull America into a holy war.
