Cowed by Islamic supremacy, not one media outlet dared to run a photo of our ad. They are all bamboozled, sharia-compliant. Which is why the ad must run. Not one media outlet reported it as a free speech case. Instead it was all “prophet Muhammad.” More bowing and scraping. He’s not my prophet and I am sure writers of these articles are not Muslim, so he’s not their prophet either. They certainly don’t refer to Jesus Christ as ‘lord and savior” on the rare occasion they write about him.
The fight is far from over. The Supreme Court decision was expected. My esteemed lawyer, Robert Muise of the American Freedom Law Center explains:
Story continues below advertisement
“This important First Amendment case is far from over. It is likely that the Supreme Court denied review because the D.C. Circuit reversed, in part, the lower court’s ruling in WMATA’s favor on whether its rejection of AFDI’s ad was ‘reasonable’ under the First Amendment in light of recent precedent, remanding the case back to the district court for its opinion on the issue. We argued that the high court should take up the case regardless because the issue was a legal one. However, the Supreme Court typically wants to hear the views of the lower courts on an issue before deciding it. Consequently, if we don’t prevail on the ‘reasonableness’ issue in the district court, we will file another appeal to the D.C. Circuit and then petition the Supreme Court once again if necessary.”
We prevailed in part in the D.C. Circuit on whether the rejection of our free speech ad was reasonable. The case was remanded back down for that determination but then stayed because the Archdiocese case was working its way up to SCOTUS (as noted in the ad). So rather than waiting for the Archdiocese case (which is a Paul Clement case—former Solicitor General—so there is a likelihood the Court will grant it), we filed a cert petition on our and similar claims since the case was stayed. The Court denied our petition. So we have to wait for the Archdiocese case to work its way through the system until the stay in our case is lifted.
Every major city has instituted the Geller ban on free speech.
Supreme Court won’t hear case of right-wing group denied ad space for poster of Muhammad in D.C. subway system
- The Supreme Court declined an appeal from anti-Islam activist Pamela Geller
- Geller and her organization American Freedom Defense Initiative was denied ad space from the D.C. public transit
- The ads depicted the Prophet Muhammed holding a sword that said, ‘You can’t draw me,’ and said ‘Support Free Speech’ across the top of the cartoon
- Geller claims the WMATA decision was in violation of her and her organization’s First Amendment rights
- The authority passed guidelines days after Geller’s submission that bars issue-oriented displays
- Islam prohibits the depiction or drawing of Muhammed to prevent temptation of worshiping false idols over God
The Supreme Court will not consider an appeal from anti-Islam political activist Pamela Geller over the D.C. public transit rejecting her advertisements that depict the Prophet Muhammad.The advertisements from Geller’s organization, the American Freedom Defense Initiative, were intended to appear in the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority buses and dioramas, but were blocked.
The authority said it blocked Geller’s request to advertise due to guidelines that bar issue-oriented displays. The new guidelines were passed just days after Geller submitted the cartoon, which depicted Muhammad holding a sword and saying, ‘You can’t draw me.’
Across the top of the ad it says, ‘Support Free Speech,’ and now Geller argues that WMATA violated her and her organization’s first amendment right to freedom of speech when it refused to put up the ads in 2015.
Anti-Islam activist Pamela Geller claims the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority violated her and her organization’s freedom of speech in rejecting its advertisement submission
Geller is known for her anti-Islam writings and holding a ‘Draw the Prophet’ cartoon contest in 2015. In Islam it is prohibited to depict the Prophet Muhammed to avoid temptation of worshiping a false idol
We never called it a “draw the prophet” contest. It was a free speech art exhibit.
Islam forbids drawings of the Prophet Muhammed. Much like other Abrahamic religions, Islam practices the worship of God alone, and rejects the idea of worshiping false idols.
The prohibition of drawing or depicting Muhammed is to help avoid the temptation of followers worshiping the prophet instead of God.Geller, who is Jewish, is now saying her and her organization’s rights are being violated by the D.C. public transit, claiming WMATA’s guidelines blocking issue-oriented displays are in violation of the First Amendment guarantee.
The American Freedom Defense Initiative accused the Washington D.C. public transit authority of adopting the guidelines so it could ‘silence the viewpoint’ it was expressing in the cartoon.
The group lost it’s lawsuit in federal court in the country’s capital.
It also lost its appeal in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, which said the advertising space in WMATA was a nonpublic forum.
Geller is known for her anti-Islamic writings and stances. She sponsored the ‘Draw the Prophet’ cartoon contest in Garland, Texas in May 2015.
The day of the event, shots were fired resulting in the death of two of the suspects and injury of one Garland Independent School District police officer.
“Shots were fired.” From what? A machine? In the first islamic State attack on American soil ihadis opened fire on our event hoping to kill as many people a possible.
The political activist says her campaigns are to fight against the religion she believes is ‘creeping Sharia’ into the U.S.
The ads, which would appear in buses and metro dioramas, were a cartoon depicted the Prophet Muhammed holding a sword that said ‘You can’t draw me.’ It said ‘Support Free Speech,’ across the top
The fear is so great that not one media outlet dared to run a photo of the ad:

The Supreme Court is taking many passes lately. It voted not to take up a case regarding the taxpayer-defunding of Planned Parenthood in March, with a vote from Justice Kavanaugh ensuring this matter would not move forward.

I noticed that. Kavanaugh being a Catholic should have wanted to hear that.
Kavanaugh was a coward taking a pass on that and might be on the squishy side. Surely he is not foolish enough to believe the left will embrace him? After all that was done for him, he should have heard the case and ruled on it. I don’t believe he was guilty of rape or anything like that but he is not doing his job by turning away cases to be heard.
Frankly I have less and less confidence in the black robes. They don’t rule my life nor are they the ones I look up to for what is right and wrong. They can legislate all the immorality they please, but it doesn’t matter to me. A higher Authority, God, is the one that has the ultimate say for this family.

All I will ad to your post Felix, is this from Habakkuk 1:
1:001 The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see.
1:002 O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save!
1:003 Why dost thou shew me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? for spoiling and violence are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention.
1:004 Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.

All we can do now is hang tough, and pray for Kavanaugh and the entire judicial system. Perhaps some of the others will retire and be replaced by those with some spine.

I doubt it. I believe in the Word of God, especially the Book of Revelation. It will NEVER get better until Jesus comes again. Oh, there will be a small period of PEACE after the Antichrist appears, BUT if anyone is left behind, they will be in a state of shock anyways. I won’t be here, then.
However, having said all that, I WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM DEFENDING MY COUNTRY AGAINST TYRANTS IF A CIVIL WAR BREAKS OUT HERE. GOD GAVE US THIS COUNTRY. CHRISTIANS NEED TO STAND UP TO KEEP IT!

I believe in the whole Word of God. Until Jesus comes back, we are to occupy until He comes, and be about His business, e.g. praying earnestly, winning the lost, encouraging other believers, and caring for the needy. There is so much to do in such a short time. Sure, things will get much worse before it gets better, That’s why we must follow in His footsteps, that is, work while it is day, because night is coming when no one can work (John 9:4).

May God Bless Pamela Gellar!????♀️
She is fighting for ALL of us.
We can NOT lose our????Freedom of Speech!
I definitely do NOT want Sharia Law here in America. I fear if the Left has their way that, that can & will happen here. It would probably start small & in certain areas… & then it will spread like a disease.
I fear it has already begun… ????

It has already begun under the guise of “Sensitivity Training” at most universities and many places of business. And I believe that the federal government is giving money to universities to deliver these courses and a similar course known as Implicit Bias Training that are mandated for their employees.

Liberty in America is not what it once was. The left’s pro-Islam version of social engineering has weakened our freedoms considerably.

Are we sure the media aren’t MUslim? They act just as if they are.
Sometimes I wonder if those secret Skull and Bones conversions aren’t conversions to Islam. Those weird orgs end up supporting the Islamic agenda quite reliably.

Fox News has two Muslim billionaires sitting on it’s board of directors – and things are changing towards liberal at Fox news .
If you look around you will find there are other such Muslim directors on the boards of other media groups

Muslims are polytheists. They do not have to bow down to their prophet Mohammad literally. All they have to do is esteem him higher than Yeshua, the Son of G-d.
