AFDI’S NEW MOVIE AD CAMPAIGN HITS NYC BUSES: ‘Can’t We Talk About This?’

7

Advanced screening September 5th on VIMEO.

My organization, American Freedom Defense Initiative, has tangled with the NYC Metropolitan Transit Authority on more than one occasion. They refused to run our ads, we sued (multiple times, and won multiple times). So for the first time in NYC transit history the MTA banned political and issue related adsthe Geller ban. But a Muslim hate group wanted to run ads for their political film despite the ban, so they sued the city, saying that their political movie, “The Muslims are coming, The Muslims are coming,” was not a political or issue related ad. They sued and they won, and all I can say, thank you.

Because of the Muslim lawsuit, we can run our ads again. And so we have. And they are brilliant.

Human rights advocacy group the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI) today announced the imminent release of Can’t We Talk About This? The Islamic Jihad Against Free Speech, a shocking new film and follow up video series detailing the concerted effort by international organizations to compel the U.S. and other Western countries to curtail the freedom of speech and criminalize criticism of Islam.

Featuring exclusive new interviews with Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Geert Wilders, Mark Steyn, Douglas Murray, Ezra Levant, Lars Vilks, Robert Spencer, Garland Muhammad cartoon contest winner Bosch Fawstin, and many other heroes of freedom, including AFDI President Pamela Geller, this web series will be the first ever to expose the war on free speech. It is certain to shock the American public and awaken many. These interviews reveal events at Garland and its aftermath that have never before been made public, and demonstrate how far advanced the war on free speech really is.

AFDI President Pamela Geller said in a statement: “In this film, we’re setting the record straight about our Garland free speech event, at which we were not only targeted by Islamic jihadis but apparently by the FBI as well. But we’re doing much more as well: we’re telling the whole, as-yet-untold truth about the war on free speech.”

Geller added: “Hollywood will never tell this story. The media will never tell this story. Our public schools and universities will never teach our children what happened. The truth must be told.”

Can’t We Talk About This? is a follow-up to AFDI’s acclaimed 2011 documentary, The Ground Zero Mosque: The Second Wave of the 9/11 Attacks. This much-needed new web series gives viewers the inside story of what happened in Garland and why, and lays out the full and appalling details of the all-out assault on the freedom of speech that is taking place today – and why this may be the most crucial battleground today in the war for the survival of the United States of America as a free republic.

The web series also features seldom-seen news footage and revealing details not only of the Garland event and the jihad killers who wanted to wage jihad there, but also of the many other battlegrounds in the war for free speech that led up to the Garland attack, including the death fatwa issued in 1989 by the Islamic Republic of Iran against Salman Rushdie for his supposed blasphemy in The Satanic Verses; the assassination of Theo Van Gogh by a Muslim on an Amsterdam street in November 2004 for his alleged blasphemy; the Dutch newspaper Jyllands Posten’s cartoons of Muhammad, published in September 2005, which touched off international riots and killings by Muslims – and most disturbing of all, calls in the West for restrictions on the freedom of speech; the Organization of Islamic Cooperation’s years-long struggle at the UN to compel the West to criminalize “incitement to religious hatred” (a euphemism for criticism of Islam); and the U.S. under Obama signing on to UNCHR Resolution 16/18, which calls on member states to work to restrict incitement to religious hatred.

Can’t We Talk About This? covers lesser-known skirmishes in the war against free speech as well, such as Seattle cartoonist Molly Norris’ “Everybody Draw Muhammad Day” in 2010, after which Norris was forced to go into hiding and change her identity after threats. And it traces what immediately led up to the Garland event – most notably, the January 2015 massacre of Muhammad cartoonists at the offices of the Charlie Hebdo satirical magazine in Paris and the subsequent “Stand with the Prophet” event in Garland, at which Muslim groups gathered in the wake of that massacre not to defend free speech, but to complain about “Islamophobia,” while AFDI members and supporters protested outside.

Geller explained: “We’ll set out the media firestorm that followed the Garland event, as well as the attempts to kill me, and explain why the event’s detractors were all missing the point: the freedom of speech doesn’t apply only if you like the message; it applies to everyone. And if it is gone, so is a free society.”

Can’t We Talk About This? tells the whole horrifying story of how advanced the Islamic war on free speech is, and how close leftist and Islamic authoritarians are to final victory and the death of the freedom of speech and free society

We can have all the free speech we want.
As long as we let the muslim savages tell us how much free speech and what kind of free speech they allow us have.

Looking forward to the film. All thanks to AFDI.
One small refinement, if this can be permitted, in the material above. The text mentions the Dutch newspaper Jyllands Posten’s cartoons of Muhammad, published in September 2005, and says:
“which touched off international riots and killings by Muslims”.
Not quite.
The cartoons were used by imams as a pretext for organised and instructed “Days of Rage” FOUR MONTHS LATER.

Jyllands Post is Danish (Jylland = Jutland, the Danish peninsula bordering Germany)

Run this: How many people did Jesus kill and how many people did Mohammead kill?

* Jesus never killed anyone.
* Muhammad killed an estimated 3,000 people, including beheading 700 Jews of the Banu Qurayza tribe in Medina, A.D. 627:

If somewhere squeeze in the Violence of Islam verses in the Quran, so all can read what Islam is but a hate cult
