Why does the pro-honor killing event get all the positive press?

20

There is something fundamentally broken in our culture. Imagine a society that extols the supremacist tyranny of the sharia while smearing and defaming human rights activists fighting for freedom and individual rights over gencdercide and gender apartheid.

Look at USA Today's coverage of the Islamic supremacist hate group denouncing our Jessica Mokdad Human Rights Conference. Did anyone from USA Today even attend our conference or listen to the live stream? The "reporter," Niraj Warikoo, is your typical useful idiot running the press release of a tyrannical enemy seeking to destroy our freedoms, our civilization from within.

Anyone that opposed our conference supports the killing of women under the sharia. Honor killings should get the kind of attentive press that these jihadists get.

Niraj Warikoo interviewed me and used none of it. Here's the interview:

    From:     Pamela Geller <[email protected]>
    Subject:     Re: questions for story
    Date:     April 26, 2012 11:57:59 PM EDT
    To:     Niraj Warikoo <[email protected]>
    Cc:     [email protected]

Niraj Warikoo: Can you talk about what the conference is about, its general message?

Pamela Geller Our goal is to raise awareness about the phenomenon of Islamic honor killing in order to help bring a stop to it. These girls have rights, too, they’re human beings, and yet they’re completely forgotten in our politically correct culture. We’re standing for the human rights of girls like Jessica Mokdad.
 
Niraj Warikoo:  A family member of Jessica Mokdad told Fox News Detroit earlier this year they don’t want Jessica’s name on the conference. They said they’re opposed to the conference. Can you offer any reaction to that?

Pamela Geller: Darwin Jiles, a close friend of Jessica, has said this: “Jessica was someone who wanted to have liberties, like every other young lady that is born in America outside of the traditions of Islam are able to do, to pursue her own happiness and to pursue her own dreams. And I can say for sure, of knowing her, of hearing the issues that she actually faced on both sides of her family, she was very conflicted, and she lived in fear of even her life possibly ending up in this situation that happened, with her being murdered in cold blood…Jessica would wear [the Islamic headcovering, the hijab] it when she was with her family, and when she wasn’t with her family, she let it be very known that she didn’t want to wear it, that she did not want to be a part of this forced Islamic religion. She was very clear with that to me. And so Cassandra really is portraying a false picture. And Pamela has every right to place the conference to be named after Jessica in regards to this, because it was Islam that caused her death.”
 
Niraj Warikoo:Local Arab-American groups are holding a counter-conference earlier in the day to oppose your conference. Any thoughts on their concerns?
 
Pamela Geller: These groups should be standing with us in defense of the basic unalienable rights of young Muslim girls and Muslim women in the West. Instead, they are lining up in support of honor killing, gendercide, and the subjugation and oppression of women.

And here is what the lapdog for Islamic supremacists ran:

Arab-Americans hold conference against bigotry USA Today, Niraj Warikoo

DETROIT – Arab-Americans and their supporters held a conference in Detroit on Sunday against bigotry in response to an anti-Islam conference in Dearborn, Mich.

"We stand for America," said Osama Siblani, publisher of the Dearborn-based Arab-American News, at a panel discussion held at a Detroit hotel. "And they (anti-Muslim activists) stand against America and against the American way of life."

Siblani's views were echoed by others who gathered for a conference organized by the Arab American Institute and supported by several other Arab-American groups to counter a conference held in Dearborn on Sunday by anti-Muslim activists called the "Jessica Mokdad Human Rights Conference on Honor Killings."

Last year, Mokdad, 20, a Muslim was shot dead by her stepfather in Warren, Mich. Some anti-Islam activists said it was a honor killing because initial reports were that she was perceived as too independent, but Macomb County Assistant Prosecutor Bill Cataldo said Friday it was not an honor killing. The family of Mokdad opposed the anti-Islam conference and didn't want Mokdad's name on it, Cataldo said.

On Sunday, Imam Hassan Qazwini of the Islamic Center of America in Dearborn — the biggest mosque in Michigan — said : "Honor killing has no religious roots in Islam."

Sunday's anti-Muslim conference features two of the most well-known anti-Islam activists in the United States, Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer.

Geller, who blogs against Islam, said: "Our goal is to raise awareness about the phenomenon of Islamic honor killing in order to help bring a stop to it. These girls have rights, too, they're human beings, and yet they're completely forgotten in our politically correct culture."

Qazwini said he believes Geller is motivated by money. He said she wants to make "Islam look like a monster to raise funds."

The anti-freedom, pro-sharia propaganda goes on. It's cringe worthy — we expect this from terror TV like Al Jazeera, but USA Today?

At the end of the day is there really much difference between Islam’s “Honor” killing and Pro Abortion’s claimed right to kill their unborn?
Speaking of “Honor” killing, now that the crazy’s have now said a man can have sex with his dead wife’s corpse, doesn’t that mean he can kill her then enjoy some goodbye sex? Sickos

This website says he’s religion reporter for the Detroit Free Press.http://nirajwarikoo.wordpress.com/category/niraj-warikoo/
(reminds me of another religion reporter in Columbus, Ohio)
One of the stories at this site says “In 2005, he was one of ten journalists selected nationally to be a fellow at the University of Southern California, where he studied national security and civil liberties in the post 9-11 era.”

I couldn’t agree more. What have we come to? There IS something wrong with our culture. It is craziness, and I mean absolute craziness that somehow this group is getting POSITIVE press after a Muslim man murdered his daughter in cold blood – to maintain the family’s honor. And all the muzzies screeching at the top of their lungs shows they believe they should get away with murdering whomever they want. There’s no other answer for their behavior. Why isn’t this group of Muslims STANDING UP and calling for an end to honor killing in their community, and worldwide? Why are they not focusing together with you on this issue? It is craziness. And it’s like the journalists have absolute blinders on. Truly, this is astonishing. I do not get how journalists can write that crap and look themselves in the mirror. It’s disgusting. It’s almost like they could watch a Muslim blow out the brains of his daughter, and then say it’s not his fault. As far as I’m concerned, the journalists are all for her murder for not standing up against what happened.
You got negative press on MSNBC yesterday, too. Although many of the comments called Islam for what it is – a violent ideology, there were some on there making terrible comments about those who are speaking the truth. It’s astonshing.

Talon’s Point – yes, now a muzzie dude can kill his wife AND have makeup sex, too! For them, I guess it’s all good!
Hope they have that sex before skin slippage sets in. Or maybe the beginnings of rigor mortis and putrifaction make them all the more horney.

I think it was Teddy Roosevelt who said there is no such thing as a hyphenated America. You are either American or not.
I have the greatest respect for the work you do Pamela – but in this respect I think Teddy was correct.

The answer is somewhat simple: The “enemedia” as you dub them–rightly so–are not disposed to listen to little David in his (her) face-off with imposing, odds-on favorite Goliath of Geth (Greater East Dearborn That Harmonizes its message to the media’s preferred narratives)–Round One to Goliath. Thus, the Goliath machine bleats its simple message that “Its all about this Jessica Mokdad, tragic victim of Mere Domestic Issues (stepdad’s peculiar sex obsessions), NOT ISLAM”–knowing that that compliant media are predisposed to look no further–Round Two to Goliath. Then, this savvy stategem works like a charm, and the enchanted media pick up the refrain in monotonous unison, chanting “Its all about this one tragic victim of domestic abuse–universally condemned–NOT ISLAM”–Round Three to Goliath. Up to this point, Goliath and his camp have wrapped public attention in a shroad of fog, and hope that THAT IS SUFFICIENT.

“We stand for America,” said Osama Siblani, publisher of the Dearborn-based Arab-American News, at a panel discussion held at a Detroit hotel. “And they (anti-Muslim activists) stand against America and against the American way of life.”
And HERE is where the “American Patriot”Osama Siblani and his rag-sheet ENDORSE Ron Paul:http://www.arabamericannews.com/news/index.php?mod=article&cat=Election&article=5325
So Ron Paul IS the Hizbollah Candidate.
AND from an event for Paul in Dearborn,from Siblani’s RAG SHEET:
“Publisher of The Arab American News Osama Siblani spoke as part of the introductions, holding up a copy of the previous week’s issue with an endorsement for Paul on the cover.
“We believe that Dr. Paul is the best man for the job, he brings a sense of sanity and sincerity to the race and he is the candidate who cares the most about America,” he said. ”
{The “great American patriot”,Siblani loves a coot who would dismantle the U.S. Armed Forces,Starve the Defense Budget, SUBMIT to Islamic Jihad at every opportunity,and HATES THE EXISTENCE of ISRAEL}

Already in the 1940’s Viktor Kravchenko was horrified how the mainstream media was glorifying the Stalin dictatorship while dragging in the mud american freedoms! I think it is inherent to journalism to lie, deceive and compromise with totalitarianism.

Sorry for double post but here’s what I found in the comment section: “By the way, I’m East Indian myself and author Niraj Warikoo is a known left-wingnut from the Indian community, and so I wouldn’t take his article at face value. He’s got a chip on his shoulders, and is always on a crusade to “protect minorities from Evil Whitey”. The fact that his name is on this article makes me skeptical about its objectivity.”

There’s another angle to this so called prejudice of the leftist media against the anti-sharia/anti-jihad movement as bigotry. It struck me as I listened to the speakers at the conference and at least one member of the audience, and the general sense of the conservative orientation of the audiences of these gatherings — the general hostility to gay rights and women’s rights which is sort of slapped onto the counter jihad movement, as if they are all part of a whole. There was a quote somewhere about evangelicals saving Western civilization and another comment about the destructiveness of gay marriage which had to be opposed along with Islamization, that finally got to me.
I don’t believe it is a necessity to be a conservative or anti-gay marriage to be concerned with the abridgment of Constitutional rights which Sharia represents and the Islamic agenda proposes. However it appears that many in the audience share that conviction because of religious interpretations and convictions. In that connection I would recommend listening to an excellent video by an exceptionally rational and religious young Christian gay man who does not see a contradiction between gay marriage and biblical teachings. It’s rather lengthy because of the intensity of this fellow’s religious sincerity. http://youtu.be/ezQjNJUSraY
I mention all this because I agree with the sentiment of Simon Deng, that we are all human beings and that we should not be hating others or demeaning others or subjugating others to misery, which is the subject discussed by that young Christian man.

Pamela, one thing I can promise you is that UNTIL it becomes PERSONAL for the average American, (and it will, it has already) these bobbleheads will not get it.
Just like we see with the whole economic downturn in this country, the Obama supporters with a new found voters remorse, they are so repentent and apologetic, it’s pathetic. It’s never too late though. Wall street occupiers are now in the neighborhoods of the bleeding heart liberals who are suddenly of the converted sect. Why? Because these vermin whom THEY created are now infecting their day to day lives. They took their bleeding heart liberalsim too far, created a monster that they never realized would develope from their politicizing everything with their filthly agenda. Like the poor Bay people, in Bay Ridge Brooklyn, who probably never considered Muslim movement into the west as something that could or would effect them, now look. They are dealing with a total nightmare! Who would have thought that something like this could happen to them or the legal nightmare (jihad) that has been brought to their doorsteps? It’s a disgrace. All it takes is for this thing called Islam to hit REGULAR Americans in a personal way and that’s it, game changer. The drones are waking up, little by little and there is more of us, then there are of them! American Muscle, muscles have a memory, even if they haven’t been worked out for a while, after just a slight workout, American Muscle gets pumped! Why? Because, American Muscle Never forgets!
