Boeing Criticized For Ad Depicting Mosque Attack

HeadlineOct 03, 2005

Military contractor Boeing and its partner Bell Helicopter have been forced to apologize after they published a magazine ad that depicted U.S. Special Forces troops rappelling from an Osprey aircraft onto the roof of a mosque. The ad reads “It descends from the heavens. Ironically it unleashes hell.” The ad also states: “Consider it a gift from above.” The Council on American-Islamic Relations had criticized the ad saying it deepens concerns that the so-called war on terror is a war on Islam.
