DEFENDING THE WEST

'Political sensitivities' before life and liberty

Exclusive: Pamela Geller tells of latest acquiescence to Muslim violence in U.S.

Last Friday, according to Arizona’s Casa Grande Dispatch,
“an explosive device was detonated … by the back door of the U.S.
Social Security Administration office, shaking downtown Casa Grande, but
no one was injured.” The perpetrator was a Muslim, Abdullatif Aldosary.
You would think that a Muslim detonating an IED in a government
building in Arizona would be front-page stuff, or that national security
agencies would be at heightened alert, but you would be wrong. The FBI
is not treating it as a terrorism case because of “the political sensitivities involved.”

Translation? They fear insulting Muslims. They’re not properly
prosecuting the sworn enemies of the U.S. for fear of giving offense to
Muslims who are supposedly on our side.

And the media? What media? Where was CNN? When a bacon sandwich is
100 yards from a mosque, they issue a special report, and it would be on
the front page of the New York Times. Perhaps they would dedicate a
Sunday special section to “Islamophobia,” and President Obama might take
to the airwaves to shake his boneless finger at us. But this, a Muslim
using an IED to bomb a government building in Arizona, garners little to
no media.

It’s astounding how in the tank the Shariah-complaint media have
become, and how far they have gone down the rabbit hole of whitewashing
Islam and downplaying jihad. But even worse is the fact that Obama’s FBI
will not prosecute Aldosary on terror charges, so as not to hurt the
feelings of jihadists. The Shariah-compliant FBI, too, is now enforcing
the blasphemy laws.

We have lost our minds and our souls to this vicious enemy – have we no stomach in the defense of humanity and freedom?

And those of us who still have the testicular fortitude to cover
jihad-related news are marginalized, demonized and accused of inciting
“Islamophobia” and/or “anti-Muslim backlash.”

Contrary to the “Islamophobia” claims, I think the American people
have been enormously tolerant and kind to Muslims in America.
Considering what this nation has been through at the hands of the global
jihad, it is amazing how generous America has been. Despite 9/11; the
thwarted Times Square bombing; the Portland Christmas tree bombing; the
Christmas underwear bomber; the massive plot to bomb New York City
subways on the anniversary of 9/11; last week’s arrest of Muslim
brothers in Florida who were plotting to use a weapon of mass
destruction within the United States; last week’s arrest of an Islamic
cell in California that was plotting to kill Americans overseas and in
the United States; the plot by a Massachusetts Muslim to fly
remote-controlled model planes packed with explosives into the Pentagon
and U.S. Capitol; and so many other jihad plots in America over the last
few years, there has been no backlash. None.

Think about it. Jihad attacks thwarted on an almost weekly basis, and
the American people have not responded. What a testament to how
civilized and tolerant we are as a culture and a society. All the blood,
toil, treasure and human life fighting an enemy both here and in the
ongoing wars in Afghanistan and, to a much lesser extent, Iraq, and
still we welcome Muslims to our shores, in our communities and cities.


But what do we get in return for our kindness and tolerance? False
accusations of “backlash,” “intolerance,” “bigotry” and retribution
against innocent people from Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas groups in the U.S.
Why aren’t Muslim groups in the U.S. directing their barbs and arrows
at the jihadists and not at their victims? It’s telling.

 And it’s not
just the media, law enforcement and national security agencies – it’s
our courts as well. There have been over 20,000 deadly jihadi attacks
worldwide since 9/11, with thousands dead, displaced and mutilated, but
as far as many judges and local governments, the real crime is … telling
the truth about this and using the word the killers themselves use to
describe their actions. The attempts by local governments to ban our
anti-jihad ads were bad enough, but this is a crime: Prosecutors in the
trial of the Muslim jihad terrorist Mohamed Mohamud, the Portland
Christmas tree bomber, are asking the court that they be allowed to use
the words “jihad” and “martyrdom” to characterize Mohamud’s jihad.

Mind you, the jihadi, who is on trial for plotting to detonate a car
bomb near a 2010 Portland Christmas tree-lighting ceremony at which
25,000 people (mostly families – women and children) had gathered, used
the terms “terrorism” and “jihad” himself when speaking with undercover
agents. So Muslims slaughter in the cause of jihad, but the kaffir is
not allowed to speak of it. Mohamed Mohamud refers to himself as a
jihadi and to his holy war as jihad, but using such terms are
“controversial” or “inflammatory” (exactly the same words these
quislings used to describe my “savage” ads).

It’s as if the prosecutors have to ask permission of the court so as
not to … blaspheme under the Shariah. Seriously, this is Shariah
adherence in an American court.
