Just up at WND: my Wednesday column. Mocking Manya.
"Chicago media go Tokyo Rose over jihad truth ads" WND, December 19, 2012
Exclusive: Pamela Geller calls out Tribune reporter for being complicit with CAIR
Story continues below advertisementOur new #MyJihad campaign, about which I wrote in my Monday WND column, was submitted to Chicago Transit on the same day, and Chicago media immediately began scrambling to obfuscate the message.
The As she has done in the past, she featured in her coverage
Ahmed Rehab of the Islamic supremacist, Hamas-linked, Muslim
Brotherhood front Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). She
slobbered and drooled over the dishonest Rehab like a Saint Bernard,
enthusiastically printing every lie he told, without ever mentioning
Hamas-tied CAIR’s unindicted co-conspirator status in the largest
terrorist-funding trial in our nation’s history, the arrest and
convictions of several CAIR officials on terror-related charges, or the
group’s ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. Good doggie.Our ads were formulated to tell the truth about jihad – in its
mainstream Islamic meaning, warfare against infidels – and counter
CAIR’s deceptive whitewashing of jihad in its #MyJihad ad campaign.
Rehab was furious that his deceptions were being exposed and whined to
Brachear: “Geller’s attempt to hijack the ‘MyJihad’ slogan amounts to
fraud.”Actually, it is CAIR’s whole campaign that is a complete fraud. Don’t
take my word for it. Listen to what devout Muslim groups are saying
about this ruse: The Islamic supremacist group Hizb ut Tahrir, which is
dedicated to imposing Shariah around the world, criticized CAIR’s
attempt to portray jihad as getting in your exercise or dropping off the
kids at school: “If this is jihad,” one Hizb ut Tahrir member wrote, “what jihad were the Muslims doing under Rasul’Allah [Muhammad]?”Robert Spencer commented
that apparently Hizb ut Tahrir “didn’t get the memo about how the
witless unbelievers need to be deceived about the nature and meaning of
jihad, and so they’re taking issue with Ahmed Rehab.”Worst of all, Brachear dismissed our ads as featuring “mock
testimonies from high-profile Muslim extremists, including Osama bin
Laden.” In reality, our ads do not feature “mock testimonies,” but
actual quotes from Osama bin Laden, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip
Erdogan, a witness to the jihad of Fort Hood mass murderer Maj. Nidal
Malik Hasan, Hamas TV and Times Square jihad car bomber Faisal Shahzad.Apparently, Brachear doesn’t want her readers to know that Osama bin
Laden explained why he took down the Twin Towers by saying, “The first
thing we are calling you to is Islam,” or that Maj. Hasan was shouting
“Allahu akbar” as he murdered 13 Americans at Fort Hood. She would
rather you not think about the implications of the fact that Hamas TV
featured a music video including the lyric, “Killing Jews is worship
that draws us close to Allah,” or of the fact that Shahzad said that
jihad involving “weaponry” is “an obligation and duty in Islam on every
Muslim.”All of the quotes we used were actual quotes. Nothing is mock or
parody. But the Chicago media followed Manya Brachear’s propaganda lead.
CBS Chicago and WGN Radio, among others, all claimed that our ads
featured “mock testimony.”That’s not reportage, Tokyo Rose Manya, that’s propaganda. You be the judge: Is the enemedia clueless or complicit?

Now you know how the Captain of the Titanic felt. The waters are getting very rocky now, icebergs are close to your ship, navigating these waters requires so much experience and time at the helm, which you and Robert have. You both wear interchangable hats on this topic I am pretty sure.
I have always been a huge fan of yours, however, especially nowadays, there is no one else more capable than you behind the wheel and I am glad you are comfortable behind it, that’s why I’m on board.
I know that you will navigate these relatively new and uncharted waters with great confidence and I too will continue to keep you and yours in my prayers.

pamela geller you are an AMericn heroine! you stand up for the truth like few others. i thank God for you. the Chicago Tribune is a dhimmi publication ready to bow to the very people who attacked and killed thousands of American men, women, children, and unborn babies on 9/11. remember the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, the Capitol Builing (United 93 was headed to the Capitol)!

The irony, are you aware that Manya Brachear is a Jewish American?

Knowing her religion column at the Chicago Tribune, all she caters is controversy and more views and replies and with these news, that is what she gain, attention, hot topics.

If what all those smiling, seemingly happy Muslims and Muslimas are saying is true as to their personal jihad, that #MyJihad is lifting weights, playing in sunshine, collecting Teddy Bears, and so forth, then they have consigned themselves to a non-Islamic afterlife.
The Koran is quite clear. Jihad, whether of the lesser or greater type, is to be practiced by every Muslim for the advancement of Islam. Period. Koranic-authorized jihad has NO other purpose. Lifting weights and riding bicycles are self-centered, not Allah-centered.
Then again, and more likely, the idea that all of these pictured Muslims are practicing Tacquia (viz., lying for the sake of Islam) is always a distinct possibility and can’t be dismissed.

Imploding??
o/t
Kev Carroll has had his home raided by the Police. Kev has told me that they kicked in the front door terrifying family members, damaged carpets and demolished his loft. OB are sinking to all time low levels now in attempt to take leadership out
and
Update from Tommy – he has met with the Governor today and has been informed of the do’s and don’ts. Out of 20 letters he wrote they will only send out 6 of them, he will not be allowed to receive any letters/emails if they contain the word E D L in them.
and news is the British Freedom Party are now de-registered, according to the Electoral Commission.

Progressives have control of both the Chicago Sun Times and The Chicago Tribune and you can forget about thinking an alternate view will be expressed on Chicago television.
You should try Chicago radio; maybe Dennis Miller.

Gleaner, unfortunately, yes. Info (re Kev and Tommy) I posted was gleaned from 2 E D L FB pages. Re, BFP, info from groups who are anti-E D L.
(Mind you, re the BFP registration, all they have to do, is pay a fee to re-register. Maybe there are changes afoot which I am not aware of). The left, the commies et al, give the impression they have inside info tho, (when in reality, their ‘inside info’ is probably gleaned via h a c k i n g (they prefer to say it is via their infiltration)), which is that the leader of the BFP is not going to re-register.
As to Kev, not sure wth is going on. Re Tommy, seems the corrupt political system in the UK is determined to destroy him, and now Kev (maybe their thinking is, strike when the iron is hot, as they believe E D L is at its weakest). What the morons, the corrupt and the left/commies et al don’t seem to realise, they will, eventually, force people to find a way to go underground – where there is a will, there is a way.
Maybe the best place for more info, is their website (when it isn’t being h a c k e d!) forum http://englishdefenceleague.org/forum/index (you have to register).

Gleaner, the BFP facebook page are saying the de-registration is a hiccup and all will resume as normal when they sort it out with the Electoral Comm. Hope so.
