Exclusive: Pamela Geller blasts 'enemedia still in uproar' over interview

Story continues below advertisement

The enemedia is still in an uproar over Fox News’ Lauren
Green daring to question the motives of their darling of the moment,
Khomeinist Reza Aslan, a board member of a lobbying group for the bloodthirsty Jew-hating Iranian mullahs.
They’re not demanding that Green be beheaded (yet), but they are
demanding an apology: The Washington Post actually ran a piece by Erik
Wemple titled, “Fox News must apologize to Reza Aslan.”

Can you imagine? This immature,
subversive Aslan is fawned over on every show by everyone – and one
interviewer goes off the reservation, and the enemedia lines up the
firing squad. Can you imagine what they would be doing if Reza faced
one-hundredth of the negative, prosecutorial media coverage I get, and
other foes of jihad get, on a routine basis? Reza would be in a towering
rage, firing off f–k bombs on Twitter left and right, and the
Washington Post would have to run a special section devoted to nothing
but demands for apologies to him.

Imagine if this same brown-nosing treatment were accorded to friends
of freedom, and not just to its enemies. Imagine the WaPo running a
piece titled, “60 Minutes must apologize to Pamela Geller,” for Scott Pelley asking me
if I even thought I had an obligation to tell the truth, or “CNN must
apologize to Pamela Geller,” for Suzanne Malveaux’s fawning over a
deceitful imam who another interview when I started telling the truth about Hamas-CAIR. Where is WaPo’s story “Russell Brand must apologize to Pamela Geller” for his planting a “protester” in his studio audience for the sole purpose of smearing me?

Such stories would be absurd. I would never expect them. But they
show up the obsequious absurdity of Wemple’s WaPo piece about Reza.
Leftists and Islamic supremacists are so used to being treated with kid
gloves in interviews. They have no idea what it is like to face an
adversarial media – and when any of their heroes even get close to it,
they start calling for the head of the interviewer who dared to treat
him as if he were anything less than royalty.

About his much-lauded credentials, Brent Bozell wrote:
“He also has a master of arts in fiction. That qualification seems more
appropriate here. In an interview on NPR’s ‘Weekend Edition,’ Aslan had
another ‘cringe worthy’ moment that even NPR felt pressed to correct on
its website: ‘Our guest incorrectly says the first Gospel, the Gospel
of Mark, contains no statement of messianic identity from Jesus. In
fact, in Mark 14:62, Jesus responds affirmatively when asked if he is
the Son of God.’”

Rob Asghar notes Aslan’s profane and immature tweets and kneejerk repetition of his supposed credentials in Forbes,
and adds: “At the same time that Aslan offers viewers a splendid
drinking game every time he brings up his scholarly credentials, his slippery and sloppy articulation of his credentials brings his very credibility into question.”

It’s also important to recall that Aslan blamed Robert Spencer and me
for the murder of Shaima Alawadi, the California Muslim woman whose
husband is now facing trial for her murder – a murder that was initially
blamed on “Islamophobia” after a bogus note saying “Get out of our
country, you terrorists” was found next to her body. Even after it
became clear that this was not a hate crime and had nothing to do with
the “anti-Muslim sentiment” that the media is so obsessed with, Aslan
never backed down or apologized.

Yet he is the darling of the moment. This shows yet again that the
media truly is the enemy. They are the ones who have no interest in
telling the truth. Their making a hero out of a potty-mouthed creep like
Reza Aslan, who lies about his foes and runs from any actual discussion
or debate with them, is just the latest evidence of that.

Sorry Pamela, Reza wouldn’t be able to handle the heat in that kitchen. When they were passing out balls, you got his.

The Constitutional guarantees that allow Aslan to spout his venom are the very same liberties that allow Lauren Green to do her job.
