NEW YORK (AP) - Two religious groups will hang ads urging tolerance alongside anti-jihad advertisements in New York City subways that equate Muslim radicals with savages.

The ads by Rabbis for Human Rights - North America and the Christian group Sojourners will go up Monday. 

Tthey'll hang in the 10 Manhattan subway stations where the anti-jihad ads implying enemies of Israel are "savages'' appear.

The rabbis' ad says: "In the choice between love and hate, choose love. Help stop bigotry against our Muslim neighbors.''

The Christian ad says: "Love your Muslim neighbors.''

On Wednesday, another group, United Methodist Women, placed pro-Muslim ads in the subway. They say: "Hate speech is not civilized.''

The American Freedom Defense Initiative is behind the anti-jihad ads.
