EXCLUSIVE: Geert Wilders to Keynote Muhammad Art Exhibit and Contest in Texas
Story continues below advertisementBy Bob Price, Breitbart, 15 Feb 2015:
Dutch Parliamentarian Geert Wilders will deliver the keynote address at the Muhammad Art Exhibit and Contest being held on May 3rd, in Garland, Texas. The Art Exhibit is being put on by Pamela Geller’s American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI). It will be put on at the same facility in Garland as the Honor the Prophet Conference that was held by a pro-Islamic group in January.
Wilders earned international recognition in the free speech movement when he was brought up on charges for speaking out against Islam at a March, 2014, rally where he promised to reduce the number of Moroccans living in the Netherlands. “The public prosecutor in The Hague is to prosecute Geert Wilders on charges of insulting a group of people based on race and incitement to discrimination and hatred,” prosecutors said in a statement, according to an article by Sam Webb on the DailyMail.
“Politicians may go far in their statements, that’s part of freedom of expression, but this freedom is limited by the prohibition of discrimination,” prosecutors stated.
Time Magazine called Wilders “The ‘Prophet’ Who Hates Muhammad.” Winston Ross wrote, ”Wilders may look just as cartoonish as The Donald. But unlike Trump, he’s a legitimate force in politics. For nearly a decade, he’s served as the leader of Holland’s anti-Islamic political party, and he regularly uses his platform to denounce not only violent jihadists but all of Islam.
Breitbart Texas previously reported the announcement of the art exhibit. Geller’s event comes on the wake of the Islamic terrorist attack on the French magazine Charlie Hebdo in January. Following the attack, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) scheduled the “Stand with the Prophet” conference at the public school district’s conference center. Geller, the President of the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI), scheduled a protest outside the event that was attended by approximately 2,000 people.
“Enough is enough,” she explained in a statement obtained by Breitbart Texas. “They’re just cartoons. We’re holding this exhibit and cartoon contest to show how insane the world has become — with people in the free world tiptoeing in terror around supremacist thugs who actually commit murder over cartoons. If we can’t stand up for the freedom of speech, we will lose it — and with it, free society.”
In addition to the art and cartoons featuring The Prophet Muhammad, the exhibit will also have presentations from other free speech advocates.
“Of course, this event will require massive security,” she assured potential attendees. “But this exhibit has to be staged. If we don’t show the jihadis that they will not frighten us into silence, the jihad against freedom will only grow more virulent.”
The art exhibit and contest will culminate with the award of a $10,000 prize for the best artwork or cartoon. Geller also announced on Sunday that there will also be a $2,500 People’s Choice Award. People wanting to submit artwork or cartoons for consideration may do so by sending an email to [email protected].
The Expo will be held at Garland Independent School District’s Curtis Culwell Center on May 3rd, from 5 to 7 p.m. Central Time.

This event is going to be huge by the time it opens.
The only question I have is, how is CNN’s Wolf Blitzer going to cover this story when CNN prohibits ANY images of Muhammad to be shown on CNN?

You know, it is too bad that it all has to be NEW art, because a lot of the NAZI anti-Jew cartoons of the 1930s and early 1940s could conveniently be have the Jewish symbolism changed out to that of Muslim ones, and the single Jewish character in effigy (which does not even look Jewish facially, in my opinion) be renamed Mohammed. I would think that it would be an hilarious addition to the contest, if for nothing else than an in their face honorary mention award, since most Muslims uphold and extol German Nazism under Hitler as ideals and goals of evil (while calling that evil as good) as something they are destined one day to surpass, as the Shia Messianic ideology demands, and Barack Hussein Obama affirmed at the 2009 Cairo conference when he referred to himself as Barak, the winged jack-*ss that mythically is alleged to have lifted Mohammed to heavenly heights, and whose creature name in the end times will do the exact same for the Mahdi, who will bathe the world in fire and blood for Islam, and kill all who refuse to bow down to Satan (aka. Allah).
Not only is the Quran the hallecinations of an illiterate pedophile who conjured up those dictations while deeply inhaling a 12 year old’s menstruations as his head lay on her lap (some Islamic commenbtaries also suggesting he was cross-dressed at the time as well), but throughout the Quran, Mohammed plagiarized from Armenian Mythology, Fictional Ante-Nicene Christian Stories, Coptic Fables, Hindu Legends, the Jewish Talmud, Meccan Mythologies, various Pagan stories known to
the merchants of Arabia, Zoroastrian Mythology.
http://www.islam-watch.org/AbulKasem/WhoAuthoredQuran/who_authored_the_quran3.htm
The deity of Allah was but a small moon deity, like Mercury/Hermes among
the Roman-Greco polytheism of deities. For whatever reason, Mohammed
picked “allah” as his, which in the arabic al-lah reverted back into the
Hebrew, would be best translated as “the flames (of destruction)”.
In Isaiah 14:12, it is a cherub that is being addressed as that spiritual
ruler who was the de facto unseen King of Babylon, whom also was active
and mature in the Garden of Eden thousands of years before (cf. Ezekiel
28:13-15 ). He moves to rule over chief kingdoms through means of
violence.
This particular individual cherub is labeled in Isaiah 14:12 as Helel, the “shining one”. The Syriac Peshitta uses Aylel, and the Septuagint uses Heosphoros to translate Helel. Because the Syriac uses a proper name, and “dawn-bringer” in the LXX sounds much like one, we have adopted the labeling of he who is both the spiritual King of Babylon and Tyre, or the world system in general, as Lucifer. So
who is Lucifer? In the Akkadian, the cognate from which the Hebrew
“helel’ was derived is “ellu”, which holds the simple definition of:
something or some event that is ”bright” (regarding a presence and
brilliance of light).
The Arabic Semitic, which leans on the Hebrew, phonetically uses “halla” to
equivocate the Hebrew root word “halal”; both mean “to shine brightly”.
From “halla” we get “allah”, and the identity of whom Muslims
worship…the “shining one” whom the Christians must call Lucifer, and the
Devil: he who exalts himself as if G-D (Isaiah 14:13-14), but is
destined for humility and punishment (Isaiah 14:15; Matthew 25:41).
Islam is the only major world religion in which its followers intentionally
worship a Deity they want to lie to and deceive them as irrational
fools, and sucker them into lives of victimization. In fact, the better
the craft of lying and dishonesty and perversity, the more the religious
Muslim (according to the Quran), is viewed as “good” and “religious” in
the realm of Islam. The very name of Islam means enslavement through
the bondage of struggle.
So perhaps I could suggest that those skilled in art could draw a Mohammed bowing or doing something in league with Satan who calls himself “Allah”, be they drawing Satan as the traditional horned with goatee and pitchfork figure, or however, with Mohammed doing homage or acting as his cultic messenger of deception. Just a suggestion.

I suppose they will need extraordinary security since Wilders is on a Muslim hit list if I am not mistaken.

If Gert became the next prime minister of Holland this might create the spark that ignites an all out ”Second Crusades” in Europe. Pegida and the EDL would lead the charge, and watch out for Germany. As I have said before, Germany started two world wars in the last century. Islam will be crushed in a war against the northern europeans. The French will once again have to be rescued as will southern Italy. But the Viking warriors and Germanic tribes will ruthlessly destroy Islam. In the history of civilization, the Vikings have never been conquered. Gert Wilders represents the remaining remnant of the; great, fearless and ferrocious Norseman Viking spirit. ancient viking warriors

Christians should follow the advice of the Pope and respect the religious believes of others.
Let’s pray to Jesus that this event will not turn out to be a tragedy.
Right now a teacher is serving a two year sentence in France for being a Holocaust Denier. He only made a movie about it. Where’s the freedom of speech? Certainly it’s not in France.
How Pamela would feel about an event promoting the best picture denying the Holocaust?
Pamela Geller have been banned from entering the UK because:
” A ( UK ) government spokesman said individuals whose presence “is not
conducive to the public good” could be excluded by the home secretary.
He added: “We condemn all those whose behaviours and views
run counter to our shared values and will not stand for extremism in any
form.”

Is this event promoting good American values? Or is it pure hate disguised as freedom of speech?
