I flew into Michigan late last night after spending a good part of my afternoon and evening yesterday on the tarmac. I am being deposed today in my three-year legal battle for free speech against Dearborn SMART transit for refusing my ads to help Muslim girls living in dangerous and violent households. Longtime Atlas readers are familiar with my 2010 lawsuit: Geller Vs. Detroit
We won this case, but SMART still refused to run the ad (they were more afraid of offending Islamic supremacists than concerned with saving lives). The sixth circuit overturned our win in a "tortured and twisted" opinion. And so we are appealing. My legal team, Robert Muise and David Yerushalmi, will go all the way to the Supremes on this if we have to.
Postings will be light today — so bear with me. These ads must run. It is a sad state of affairs in America that we have to fight to get them up, but fight we will — we must save lives no matter how hard these government goons try to stop and silence us. We must provide networks, safehouses, and support systems to those who wish to escape. It is a difficult journey.
This is America — everyone has the same right to a free life.

The ads are A-Political because they are based on truthful events, not propaganda for any political party; and US Law shall forbid any religion that threatens its peoples’ freedom of religion by choice. It appears the new verdict was not A-Political.
The link to the Wall Street Journal story, “When the Side of a Bus Isn’t a Public Space”, took me to a pay wall, no way in without a log-on or buying a subscription.
Young girls all over the muslim world are being locked away, tortured and raped, the same or worse than the Castro kidnapper in Cleveland. Young girls need a way out from islam
Expect a ferocious fight over that one, dodo. If young women leave the Religion of Peace, young men will not be far behind. Now where do you think that would leave the assorted jackasses issuing fatwas and precipitating the stoning of those accused of being adulteresses?
In fact, based on my meager observations, many young women seem attracted to this evil ideology that will so dominate them.
the good news is that more Muslims are coming to Christ NOW than in all of history. in Iran, 500 Muslim converts to Jesus in 1979 has become hundreds of thousands (some claim millions!) in the last few years. in Algeria, the indigenous Church has grown to well over 100,000 in recent years, mostly Berber. Christians are reaching out to Syrian refugees, and seeing many conversions. good things are happening., even in a dark situation
Am honored to be able to help pay for these ads.
