Humorous ads for a documentary film that aims to promote understanding and tolerance of Muslims went up in New York subways on Monday after the movie's production company won a legal battle with the city's transit authority. "The Ugly Truth About Muslims: Muslims have great frittata recipes," reads one of the ads created by comedians Negin Farsad and Dean Obeidallah who are using humor to break down stereotypes and promote their documentary "The Muslims Are Coming!" The advertisements debuted after a federal court in Manhattan ruled in .October that being Muslim was a religious, not a political, identity.
