“What Pamela Geller is about — courageously and boldly — is standing up for freedom. That’s it. That’s all.”

I missed this excellent piece in the American Spectator by Jeffrey Lord, former Reagan White House political director and author. Hart’s defense of freedom is crystal clear — clear as a bell, a liberty bell. And the American people get it. The mail is still pouring into my email box in support of AFDI and…

VDH: “Geller’s critics…do not understand that radical Islam has already cut a huge swath out of American free speech through more than a decade of death threats”

The renowned historian Victor Davis Hanson understands the free speech issues that are at stake in the controversy over the Muhammad cartoon contest. He is one of the few. “The First — and a Half — Amendment,” by Victor Davis Hanson, National Review, May 12, 2015: Free speech and artistic and intellectual expression have been…

Grateful

I just want to take this moment to thank the courageous, singular voices who have stood up for me without making excuses or attacking my character (as did Bret Stephens in today’s pathetic piece, “In Defense of Pamela Geller”). They have understood the quintessentially American philosophy of freedom and individual rights. Kudos and thanks to…

New Yorker goes Sharia, attacking Pamela Geller and refusing to show winning Muhammad cartoon

The New Yorker — famous for its cartoons — describes but doesn’t dare show the winning Muhammad cartoon. This epitomizes the cowardice of the mainstream media, and the rot that could end up destroying our free societies if it isn’t addressed. “Pamela Geller and the Anti-Islam Movement,” by David K. Shipler, New Yorker, May 12,…

Phoenix: Mosque Attended by Garland Jihadis Spawned Two Other Terrorists

Why is the media still talking about me? What aren’t we talking about what really incited the jihadists? Why isn’t the media talking about the jihadic doctrine? Sharia? The mosque? The FBI should be surveilling this mosque, impounding their phone records. Was anyone from the mosque in contact with Muslim groups in Garland? Was there…

MIT’s Muslim chaplain raised money for al-Qaeda-affiliated groups

He was at MIT. MIT administrators were no doubt proud that he was there, as it showed their commitment to “diversity.” They would have dismissed concerns about his activities as “Islamophobia.” “Al Qaeda’s Base at MIT,” by Ilya Feoktistov and Charles Jacobs, Breitbart, May 11, 2015 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): At the end…

Geller and Spencer in Breitbart: “In Cathy Young’s World, Everybody Surrenders”

In an extraordinarily lengthy tirade, Cathy Young attacks Robert Spencer and me with lies, libel and smear. Nothing new, I know. But clearly she intended this to be the go-to dossier for every perverted journalist who seeks to impose the sharia restrictions on free speech. But one has to question who fed her this bile…

Texas cartoon jihadi “would never waver from the teachings he picked up in the mosque”

This mosque ought to be investigated. Several surveys have shown that 80% of mosques in the U.S. teach hatred of infidels and the necessity to replace the Constitution with sharia. No one cares. How many Ibrahim Simpsons must there be before the mosques are monitored? “Elton Simpson’s slow, isolated descent into ISIS, jihad,” by Sean…

In Praise of Gerard Vanderleun

There is much to glean from the latest jihad attack in Garland, Texas. We smoked out a terror network, and much to my surprise, we smoked out the imposters on the right. Rush, Sean Hannity, David French, Mark Levin, Rich Lowry, and Megan Kelly have been brilliant and brave in the defense of freedom against…

Florida event featuring Geert Wilders canceled for fear of Islamic jihadists

This is what shows the jihad terrorists that terrorism works. This is why there will be more jihad terrorism. This is the cowardice that is killing freedom. “Boca Event Featuring Anti-Muslim Speaker Canceled for Safety Reasons,” by Chris Joseph, Broward Palm Beach New Times, May 8, 2015: Not wanting to court danger, the Boca West…

Breitbart: 6 Reasons Pamela Geller’s Muhammad Cartoon Contest Is No Different From Selma

John Nolte of Breitbart and David French of NRO have been briliant, steadfast and unwavering in defense of free speech and defiant against the sharia restrictions on speech. “6 Reasons Pamela Geller’s Muhammad Cartoon Contest Is No Different From Selma,” By John Nolte, May 9, 2015  When you are dealing with the mainstream media, it…

Garland jihadi’s stepmother: “I’m not saying what he did was right or wrong”

Nadia Azam’s equivocation on evil speaks volumes. How many more supporters of what her stepson did are inside Muslim communities in the U.S.? Is law enforcement too busy with “outreach” activities to try to find out? “Overland Park man is shocked at news of son’s involvement in Garland, Texas, assault,” by Eric Adler, Kansas City…

FBI orders more US jihadis be put under 24/7 surveillance in wake of jihad shooting on AFDI free speech conference in Garland, Texas

If we had a responsible media, they would report more of the positive developments in light of the terror attack. The jihadists were the end of the line. By drawing them out, we exposed their network. And because we secured the perimeter, we were able to expose the network without getting anyone killed. The FBI…

Dershowitz: Geller Critics Should Realize MLK Provoked, Too

I often disagree with Dershowitz, but I thank him for having the honesty and clear-sightedness to state this, despite the abuse it is certain to bring his way. “Dershowitz: Geller Critics Should Realize MLK Provoked, Too,” by Greg Richter, Newsmax, May 7, 2015: Critics of Pamela Geller, organizer of the “Draw the Prophet” event in…

Cartoonists are Controversial and Murderers are Moderate

Daniel Greenfield skewers the fashionable moral inversion of our time (and especially of this week). “Cartoonists are Controversial and Murderers are Moderate,” by Daniel Greenfield, May 8, 2015: Controversial, intolerant and provocative. Mainstream media outlets broke out these three words to describe the “Draw the Prophet” contest, the American Freedom Defense Initiative and Pamela Geller….

Texas Cartoon Jihadist’s Imam Warned Members to ‘Be Careful’ of FBI Informant

Is law enforcement investigating this mosque? Or are they just taking the imam’s word for it that these jihadis didn’t learn any of their lust for violence and hatred at that mosque? Is the FBI too busy conducting “outreach” at this mosque to look into what is being taught there? “Texas Shooter’s Imam Warned Members…

Media Alert: Pamela Geller on Hannity Tonight Debating Juan Williams @seanhannity

Tune into Hannity tonight at 10 pm. I’ll be debating liberal Juan Williams, who viciously attacks me for defending free speech from sharia speech restrictions. This from the man who actually said, “the truth is that I worry when I am getting on an airplane and see people dressed in garb that identifies them first…

Jihad attack at AFDI free speech event could have been prevented

More poison fruit of the suicidal political correctness that dominates government and law enforcement nationwide. “The Garland Shooting Was Entirely Preventable,” by David French, National Review, May 6, 2015 Prosecutorial mistakes and a politically correct judge exposed Americans to a potential massacre. The Garland, Texas, police officer who gunned down two Islamic terrorists not only saved…

“Why Won’t Pamela Geller Shut Up?”

Here is a good summary of the unconscionable inversion of the leftist media’s reaction to the jihad attack at the AFDI/Jihad Watch Muhammad Art Exhibit and Cartoon Contest. “Why Won’t Pamela Geller Shut Up?,” by Rich Lowry, Politico, May 6, 2015: How dare Pamela Geller get targeted by terrorists bent on committing mass murder. That’s…

Sharia Enforcement: Muhammad Cartoon Contest Winner Bosch Fawstin Removed from Facebook

It is somehow ironic that the younger generation that was raised on leftist propaganda in academia and in the culture is so eager to utterly relinquish our freedoms without so much as a fight. The hippies and bippies and free love gave us totalitarianism and subjugation. Free love. It made whores of women, broke our…

Texas terror: Mother of jihadi says son had ‘a normal American upbringing’

Except for that bit about jihad against the kuffar. And that made all the difference. “Texas Terrorist Attack: Mother of Gunman Says Son Had ‘A Normal American Upbringing,’” by Selena Hill, Latin Post, May 6, 2015: The mother of one of the men who was fatally shot by authorities as he was executing a terrorist…

“Allah is the greatest! We begin operations in their own homes in America”

They are emboldened to make these threats and to carry out murderous jihad attacks by the weakness and fecklessness of an American leadership and media determined to throw away our freedoms with both hands and grant them their every demand. “‘Islamic State in America’ Message Prompts Celebrations, Threats on Jihadi Twitter,” by Mary Chastain, Breitbart,…

Volokh: Cartoon contest “The organizers are sending a message that they are not afraid…at least not so afraid that they will forgo their First Amendment rights”

Legal expert Eugene Volokh here ably explains why our AFDI/Jihad Watch Muhammad Art Exhibit and Cartoon Contest was necessary — and why those who are blaming me for the jihad shooting are wrong: “Islamo-non-phobia, and the value of defiance,” by Eugene Volokh, Washington Post, May 4, 2015 (thanks to David): Two apparent would-be jihadists drove…

Watch VIDEO: Pamela Geller on Sean Hannity: Media Blames Targets of the Jihad Shooting in Garland, Texas

Last night I was on Hannity defending myself against a mainstream media blaming me for ISIS, al qaeda and the jihad threat around the world. They are deranged. European media said Je Suis Charlie in the wake of the jihadi attack on the French cartoon weekly. American media said Je Suis Jihad in the wake…
