Muslim group hoists message to ISIS on Chicago-area billboard
Published under Introspection Aug 09, 2016
In an effort to combat the American anti-Muslim sentiment that grows in the minds of Americans who believe the acts of the ISIS are reflective of Islam and its followers beliefs, a controversial billboard has been erected just west of Chicago.
A billboard with the message, ‘Hey Isis, You suck!!!’ was hoisted on Thursday by a a non-profit organization called ‘Sound Vision’, which is dedicated to changing the way Muslims are portrayed in the media.
The message condemning ISIS is accompanied by a verse from the Quran that says, “Life is sacred.”
According to a statement on their website, the billboard campaign was envisioned by a group of young American Muslim fathers on a WhatsApp group in Chicago.

Stephen R. Anderson
The object of inquiry in linguistics is human language, in particular the extent and limits of diversity in the world’s languages.

It turns out, however, that there is no such definite count—or at least, no such count that has any status as a scientific finding of modern linguistics.
