The winning design of a “Draw Muhammad” contest in Garland, Texas that led to a shooting by two people claiming to be affiliated with the Islamic State could be coming to Metro.

NBC4 reports that the American Freedom Defense Initiative submitted an advertisement, which features the winning cartoon depicting the Prophet Muhammad, to WMATA, to be plastered throughout Metrorail and on Metrobuses.

“Drawing Muhammad is not illegal under American law, but only under Islamic law,” AFDI President Pamela Gellar wrote on the conservative media site Breitbart.com. “Violence that arises over the cartoons is solely the responsibility of the Islamic jihadists who perpetrate it.”

In early May, two suspects jumped out of a vehicle and fired assault rifles at the site of an AFDI-sponsored “Draw Muhammad” contest. One security officer was wounded, and a Texas police officer shot and killed both the suspects. After the incident, the Islamic State took credit for the shooting, saying the two suspects were “two soldiers from the soldiers of the Caliphate.”

A request for comment by Gellar has not yet been returned. WMATA spokesman Dan Stessel says that the ad is “currently being reviewed and has not yet been approved.”
