Right wing blogosphere impresario John Hawkins sounds off on our anti-jihad ad camapaign:
"A Kind Word For Pamela Geller And Her Pro-Israel Ad Campaign"Let’s say a Muslim came up to you and said,
“Pamela I’m against terrorism. I don’t want Sharia in this country. I
don’t want to see Israel destroyed. I consider myself to be a moderate.
But, I keep hearing people in the news claim you hate people like me. So
I want to hear it straight from you. Is that true?” What would you tell
that person?Pamela Geller: “I love people like you and I hope that you and
I will fight together this oppression, this gender apartheid,” and if
this moderate knows anything about me, he or she knows that I fight for
the moderates. I fight for people that are leaving Islam. I’ve created a
gateway, a network of information, safe houses, and other people, other
resources for Muslims in trouble to go to because it is so hush-hush. I
do not hate people. It’s why I do what I do.Story continues below advertisementI do have a problem with the ideology that inspires Jihad. I do have a
problem with gender apartheid and the oppression of women. I do have a
problem with hatred of infidels and the non-Muslims. And we have seen in
the 20,000 attacks since 9-11, Islamic attacks across the world, each
one with the imprimatur of a Muslim cleric, that there is a problem with
the ideology that inspires Jihad and all men and women that love
freedom must fight it. — From a RWN interview with Pamela Geller on October 10, 2010A lot of people talk about free speech, supporting Israel, and
refusing to kowtow to radical Islamists. It’s good that they do because
those are all important things. However, I want to take a moment to say a
kind word about one of the few people who is DOING SOMETHING about
those issues.My friend, Pamela Geller is running these ads in subways.
Israel is a tiny, civilized, vibrant Western Republic that’s friendly
to the United States and the home of millions of Jews (along with their
ancestors) who’ve been driven out of Europe, Russia, and the Middle
East by people who want to kill them. They have proven time and time
again that they are willing and able to live at peace with their
neighbors, but unfortunately, their very existence is considered
provocative to the nations around them. In other words, if you’re
wondering why they’re hated and you cut through all of the rhetoric,
it’s really because they’re Jews who continue to breathe in proximity to
people who consider that unacceptable.As to the Palestinians, they are willing to blow up their own
children in order to murder Israeli civilians as part of a campaign that
they hope will lead to genocide. If you don’t believe that, just listen
to Hamas because Hamas openly admits it. Calling people like this
savages isn’t an insult to them; it’s an insult to savages. The fact
that it upsets far left-wingers, the politically correct, anti-Semites,
and people who are afraid radical Islamists will show up and cut their
heads off doesn’t make it less true.That last grouping is particularly important now that we have people
in other nations threatening violence if we don’t eviscerate our free
speech in order to make it acceptable to radical Islamists who believe
in Sharia law, stoning gays, and refusing to allow women to leave the
house unless they’re covered head to toe.It’s one thing to tell people like that to take a long walk off a
short pier, but it takes more guts to go to court in order to defend the
1st Amendment. It’s easy to say a few nice words about God’s chosen
people, but it takes courage to put up ads defending them when you’re
going to be vilified for it by apologists for suicide bombers. It’s easy
to condemn radical Islam; in fact many of Pamela Geller’s most strident
critics do the same thing and then turn around and attack her. You see,
the difference between Pamela Geller and many of them is, she isn’t
just saying it because she thinks she feels like it’s a political
necessity; she means it.Last but not least, I’ve known Pamela for years, long before most of
her fans and detractors today had ever heard of her. I’ve talked to her
by chat, on the phone, by email, and in person and I have never once
heard her condemn Islam. I have never once heard her express hatred for
all Muslims. If she did or I thought she felt that way, then I wouldn’t
support her. Moreover, what Pamela is doing is important work. If even
Christians and Jews are too intimidated to speak up strongly for Israel
or against radical Islam, how in the world can we expect moderate
Muslims to do it? If Pamela is willing to be at the tip of the spear, if
she’s willing to be vilified, smeared, attacked, and threatened for
saying things that radical Islamists and their apologists don’t want to
hear, then I think she deserves support. I hope more bloggers will speak
up on her behalf, donate to her cause, and patronize her website.

Did I read his quote correctly, “and I have never once heard her condemn Islam.”
I have heard Pam condemn Islam quite regularly, and rightly so. Did Hawkins really say this? Did he mean to substitute “Muslims” in place of the word Islam?
Islam the ideology is the poisonous source. It should be condemned.

I too cannot see the point in NOT condeming Islam. It’s the fountainhead for all evil, subjugation and misery unless your one of those at the top of the pile i.e. a muslim male. I fail to see how it can EVER be accommodated in the West.

“I have never once heard her condemn Islam”
………………………………………………..
There would be nothing wrong if Pam or anyone else did condemn islam. It is islam itself that is horrible. There is no moderate or extremist islam. Why do people insist upon making that false distinction?

I hate islam I hate the qur’an because both are it is evil. I don’t hate the muslims I hate what they do and what they stand for. when people want to take charge of your life and rule you. the hate starts. because GOD made us free and satin puts us in chains. until we break away from satin we will never know what real freedom is. it is time to ban the qur’an in AMERICA and stop the building mosque where all the hate is preached. get the muslim out of the w.h.
