Pamela Geller, Weekly WND Column, Defending the West
“Fighting the fascists at Temple University”

Read my column on fascism in American colleges and universities. The bloodless coup (kicked off by the student rebellion of 1964) is all but complete. The media ignores this putsch because they are part of the cultural revolution to dismantle and destroy the American idea.

Fighting the fascists at Temple University

Exclusive: Pamela Geller tells of battle to present anti-Shariah message over protesters

Last week, Islamic Apartheid Week was announced at Temple University in Philadelphia. A singular brave student organization at Temple wanted to counter the blood libel and propaganda of Israeli Apartheid Week, which is so common and so awful on college campuses, with the reality of the Shariah and the oppression, subjugation and persecution of women and non-Muslims living under Islam.

No sooner was it announced than the Islamic smear machine went into high gear. Numerous articles appeared in the Philadelphia City Paper, Naked City and elsewhere, smearing and defaming the speakers (Robert Spencer, Nonie Darwish, Simon Deng and me), but most egregiously me. Hamas-CAIR sent out a string of email alerts in support of the Occupy Muslim student groups’ protests.

The Blaze ran a big story on the pro-Shariah media blitz. The Blaze noted that the leftists and Islamic supremacists were pulling out all the stops: “Occupy Temple is joining with the International Socialist Organization, Students for Justice in Palestine and the Party for Socialism and Liberation for a ‘multi-racial fightback against these racist hatemongers.’ ‘Geller is known to her fans and critics alike as “Queen of the Muslim Bashers,”‘ the Facebook hate page for the protest states. ‘Her views are by no means within the boundaries of reasonable debate.’”

The Nazis were cocky, too. Once.

The young, brave student leader, Álvaro Enrique Watson of Temple University Students for Intellectual Freedom, which organized the event in conjunction with the David Horowitz Freedom Center, wrote before the event about protests that were being orchestrated by leftists and Islamic supremacists:

“The protests are being organized, yet again, against ‘the biggest bigots in the world and at Temple University.’ Once again, the opportunists are using side-bar issues/events (Trayvon Martin, and a couple of others, whom you guys all know about) to advance and fuel their protest.”

In their Goebbels propaganda, the leftist fascists cited the honor killing by her family of Shaima Alawadi as a “hate crime,” when that libel has long been exposed by law enforcement.

Thus it was predictable that the event was the silly zoo that all pro-freedom activists have unfortunately come to expect from events at universities all over the country: loud, raucous know-nothing tools spewing illogical insults into the ether with the sole purpose of stopping the truth from being heard. Yawn.

Their furious and frenzied opposition to our message was ironic in light of the fact that we were there to stand for the freedom of the individual: the freedom of speech, the freedom of conscience, and equal rights for women and non-Muslims in Muslim societies as well as in Muslim communities in the West.

Our program was dedicated to exposing the suffering of millions of women and non-Muslims living under the oppression and subjugation of the Shariah, as well as to debunking the vile lies and blood libels spread about the state of Israel by Islamic supremacists and their lapdog apologists (notably during Israeli Apartheid Week).

Simon Deng, Nonie Darwish and Robert Spencer were magnificent, brilliant and brave. And Simon Deng is a powerful presence – the room gets quiet when he approaches the podium. Deng’s devastating story as a slave in Sudan shames the leftist tools as they scream on about hate and justice.

Yet despite Simon’s moving and unanswerable presentation, and the heavy security we had to have, the agitators were itching for confrontation. It is striking when one considers that true subversives like Bill Ayers and jihadist enablers like pro-nuclear Iran Khomeinists like Reza Aslan are warmly received on college campuses and given the utmost respect and deference. Nothing better points to how low the state of freedom and truth are at universities. We are producing the army that will destroy us. The many attempts to shout us down and destroy the event that occurred last night had been planned from the very beginning: Fresh on the heels of the announcement of this program by the Temple University Students for Intellectual Freedom, there came as if on cue the army of haters – storm troopers and brownshirts who were instructed to disrupt and shut down this meeting of freedom’s defenders and human-rights activists.

This is what we have come to expect from the fascists at America’s colleges and universities. American professors travel to Tehran to speak at conferences hosted by the genocidal mullahs. Subversives (like Ayers) and jihadists (like CAIR and Aslan) are welcomed and paid handsomely, but voices for freedom and human-rights activists are hunted down and silenced like … dissidents.

They stormed in, and they stormed out.

Read the rest.

Look at the defiant, ignorant, ugly faces in the photograph. I see this often in the news in America. There is a time in history that it reminds me of- this public embracing of evil and despising what is good, a group insanity. In the story in the bible of the crucifixion of Jesus it tells of him being brought first before Herod and then before Pilate and neither found him guilty. But it was customary to release one prisoner and the illogical crowd demanded Barrabas.
Luke 23 “…Neither has Herod, for he sent him back to us; as you can see, he has done nothing to deserve death. Therefore, I will punish him and then release him.”
But the whole crowd shouted, “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!” verse 19: (Barabbas had been thrown into prison for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.) Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate appealed to them again. 21 But they kept shouting, “Crucify him! Crucify him!”
So these people cling to what is evil; a truly perverse generation.

The irony is that many of the communist protesters are Jews who would be killed by the same Muslims they are defending.

James give us an example. An even bigger irony is how many blacks are endorsing Islam even as it promotes slavery. Proof is in the video.
Now you can call me a nut case if you want to because I was just up on my roof blowing off the collection of leaves from the winter and I had a controversial thought. Of all subjects Santa Claus entered my mind and a thought came “Don’t forget this is the generation whose parents wanted the throw off the bondage of old fashioned values. Many parents of my generation would throw back their hippie atheist heads and say ‘I’m not going to play tricks on my children and teach them about someone who doesn’t exist.’ What this resulted in is a generation of children who were not given the chance to think critically, come of age, and get the practice of accepting truth and new information and maturity then subsequently search for a place where “rust does not corrupt nor thieves break in and steal”.
So a mind that believes in nothing will believe in anything and there you have it. I can thank Santa Claus that I got an early start at thinking critically and overcoming a belief by accepting new facts. I effortlessly accepted facts about Islam and am on the same side of Pam Geller and all the other great pioneering minds.

Anti-fascism is the opposition to fascist ideologies, groups and individuals. The related term antifa derives from Antifaschismus, which is German for anti-fascism; it tends to refer to individuals and groups on the left of the political spectrum, that are dedicated to fighting fascism.
