Washington: Bus ads linking "Islamic Jew-hatred" with Adolf Hitler are out on the streets of Washington, and the US capital's transit authority says it is legally powerless to ban them.

The elongated broadsides on 20 Metro buses feature a photo of the Nazi German dictator in conversation with "his staunch ally" Haj Amin al-Husseini, grand mufti of Jerusalem during World War II.

"Islamic Jew-hatred: It's in the Quran. Two-thirds of all US aid goes to Islamic countries. Stop racism. End all aid to Islamic countries," the ad states, over a fine-print disclaimer from the Metro transit authority.

The ads, which are to run until mid-June, were placed by the American Freedom Defence Initiative (AFDI), which aims to "raise awareness of the depredations of Islamic supremacism", according to its website.

1. This is running on public busses in the US?

What the hell? I've seen metro spike ads WAY less controversial than that.

Edit: Ok I see the line about the 2012 court case now.
Yuck.
