Video maker sues over Muslim ads

-

The maker of a documentar­y about American Muslim comedians has sued the operator of New York City subways after its ads were rejected. The lawsuit was filed Thursday in Manhattan federal court against the Metropolit­an Transporta­tion Authority. New York- based video production company Vaguely Qualified Production­s seeks unspecifie­d damages and an order allowing the display of advertisem­ents promoting the 2013 film The Muslims Are Coming! The advertisem­ents were created by two Muslim comedians. The lawsuit says the ads were set to run in April and May but were rejected after the MTA changed its advertisin­g policies to ban political ads. The lawsuit says the ads are not political.
