The clowns on the 9th Circuit court have ruled that an FBI global terrorism want ad poster cannot run because it might upset Muslims. Back in 2013,  the FBI was running a terrorism awareness campaign featuring bus ads depicting photos of sixteen of the world’s Most Wanted Terrorists. This was a publicity campaign sponsored by…

More of Obama’s murderous handiwork. He should be indicted as an accomplice. “Garland Terrorist Allegedly Bought Fast and Furious Handgun,” By Bob Price, Breitbart, August 1, 2015 One of the terrorists involved in the attack on the Mohammad Art Exhibit and Contest in Garland, Texas, was allegedly allowed to purchase a 9mm handgun from a…

We are taking our free speech fight to the Supreme Court. AFDI vs. Boston’s transit authority. The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority’s (MBTA) refused to our two pro-Israel/anti-jihad advertisements on their buses. Yes, Boston. The MBTA claimed it was demeaning to Muslims – as if all Muslims were Jew haters and jihadists. Wait, it gets worse….

We were back in court yesterday — crossing swords, or in their case, clubs, with the deeply corrupt clique of rich fixers: Judge John Koeltl, Victor Kovner, now lead attorney for the MTA, and smoking his fat cigar behind closed doors libeler Charles Moerdler, the MTA board member, who led the ban against free speech…

The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund (CBLDF)  wrote About “Cartoonists Under Fire” while ignoring  Bosch Fawstin, who was and is literally under fire and under death threats. The cartoon clowns of the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund make a mockery of their icon (above). Bosch Fawstin wrote: Comic Book Legal Defense Fund: The Comic Book…

It is striking and astonishing that the European media will run the AFDI Muhammad drawings and cartoons, but the American media won’t. The enemedia has surrendered our freedom. In the wake of the Charlie Hebdo jihad slaughter, the European media ran the Charlie Hebdo cartoons, which were racy and even obscene. And yet the American…

We are appealing the liberal-fascists’ end run around the First Amendment. “AFLC Appeals Order Allowing MTA to Sidestep Injunction and Refuse Pamela Geller’s Ad,” AFLC, June 22, 2015 Today (June 22, 2015), lawyers for Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer, and their non-profit organization, American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI), filed a notice of appeal to the U.S….

“These cartoons contribute to a climate of fear in which Muslims are seen as a threat.” Uh, they are slaughtering people over them! How should that be seen? Robert Spencer exposes Time Magazine’s monstrous moral inversion. “Time Mag: Muhammad cartoons ‘make Muslims feel less safe,’” by Robert Spencer, Jihad Watch, June 20, 2015: Jordan Denari…

We won our free speech court case against the NYC MTA. We won. And so the liberal fascists did an end run around the First Amendment. The fact is that even if they did properly close the forum to “political” ads, and if indeed our ad is “political,” we  had a vested or grandfathered right…

The Freedom Movement grows …. it’s contagious. My SION colleague Anders Gravers just gave me the good news: SIOE can happily present that we have found a very good location for the Muhammed cartoon exhibition from Texas.  The new place is “Den sorte diamant” (The Black Diamond) in Copenhagen. It is the same place where…

If you recall back in February, my legal team AFLC submitted an FOIA request at my request for the expenses paid to the the Garland School District by the sponsors of the Stand with Islam conference in support of sharia restrictions on free speech in the wake of Charlie Hebdo jihad slaughter. It took months,…

The NY Times writer who contacted me asked me for a copy of the ad. The old gray dhimmi did not see fit to print the drawing that is changing the very foundation of free speech in this country. But vile Christian imagery — they can’t get enough. This is hardly the first time: NY…

Volokh doesn’t disappoint on the WMATA’s decision to restrict free speech in adherences sharia and it’s violent enforcers. Kudos to the Volokh and the Washington Post for publishing the cartoon (at least in the online edition). The Volokh Conspiracy ‘[W]e know what happens when you criticize Muhammad, we know how some people react to that’…

Apparently Allah has no sense of humor either, and remarkably shares the same hair-trigger sensitivity as violent jihadis. Expect CNN’s Chris Cuomo to investigate …. It had to be that, right? Or the Jews. Widespread flooding has caused massive destruction and death in Texas and Oklahoma. At least 17 are dead and 40 are missing…

The good thing about the historically bad coverage the Washington Post gives to this subject matter is the interview they did ran unedited. Kudos to Cavna. “Muhammad on the Metro? AFDI’s Geller on her plan for cartoon WMATA ads. [Q+A],” By Michael Cavna, Washington Post, May 28, 2015; THREE YEARS after American Freedom Defense Initiative…

One on one with Chris Cuomo. Chris Cuomo and I have at it. He fights for sharia. I fight for freedom. His cutting me off constantly is annoying, but it is, after all, CNN. They pretend it’s about not offending when at it’s all about fear. Cuomo told me off-camera that it is CNN policy…

I went toe-to-toe with Juan Williams again tonight. The segment is short and sweet. Watch it. If you missed the first bout, go here.

Yesterday’s man, Mr. “Moderate Islam,” is waging a holy war on …. our ads. Daniel Pipes is trying to get relevant and only renders himself more irrelevant. Pipes claims our Islamic Jew-hatred ad campaign in Philly was a failure. Based on what measure? Our objective was to educate, and we succeeded beyond our wildest imagination….

The NY Daily News has an objective and fair piece of reporting on our new free speech campaign submitted to run on Washington, DC buses. Yes, that Daily News, notorious for its smear pieces against counter-jihad initiatives. Pig-flying moment. Pamela Geller submits Prophet Muhammad cartoon ads for display on Washington, D.C., Metro buses, trains, By…

I love Pamela Geller. I have known and loved her for years. She is a great American! If only everyone who has the honor of calling himself American could grow courage like hers we would be un-terrorizable as a nation. Pamela gets that we are at war and stands as an example for those of…

Superb interview with AFDI Muhammad drawing winner, Bosch Fawstin. He is a hero, a real champion of freedom. Above: New transit campaign submitted to run on Washington DC buses and train platforms. “Bosch Fawstin on Islam and Jihad,” By Craig Biddle, The Objective Standard, May 2015 Bosch Fawstin is a cartoonist, blogger, and creator of…

NEW YORK, May 20, 2015: Because freedom of speech is under violent assault, the human rights advocacy group the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI) has announced a new ad campaign to defend the freedom of speech and stand up to violent intimidation kicking off in the nation’s capital. AFDI President Pamela Geller said in a…

I briefly explain (with the able arguments of philosopher Ayn Rand) the left’s hatred of the good for being the good. Dennis Prager does a whole column on it: “Why Pamela Geller is Hated.” ON FREE SPEECH “Why Pamela Geller is hated,” By Dennis Prager, Dennis Prager has 3 reasons woman is currently ‘the left’s…

My column today at World Net Daily is a must-read. DEFENDING THE WEST The ISIS death fatwa Exclusive: Pamela Geller blasts media ‘aligned with the jihad force’ May 18, 2015   You know what happened in Garland, Texas. Two jihadists wanted to replicate and ramp up what happened in Paris, by murdering scores of patriotic…

I neglected to post my column last week in all of the madness that followed the assassination attempt on my colleagues, patriots and me at the Free Speech event in Texas. Read it. DEFENDING THE WEST “Media enraged at my exposure of their cowardice”, Pamela Geller, WND, May 10, 2015 Exclusive: Pamela Geller declares, ‘I…

We are not a Muslim country under the sharia. But the left and the RINOs are behaving as though we were. We are free and the majority of Americans mean to stay free — the elites, on the other hand, have other plans for us. Do we mean to be held hostage to the most…

As divisive and ugly as the media has been towards the victims of the Garland jihad shooting, the country is having a much-needed conversation about the quiet application of Islamic law (sharia) in this country. The prohibition of depictions of Muhammad is Islamic law (blasphemy is punishment by death under the sharia). The American people…

Here is a letter to the editor of the Church Times publication in the UK, responding to an article by a Paul Vallely (not, of course, the American general). It responds well to many of the common objections to our free speech event that was subjected to a jihad attack.’ From: Revd Clifford Hall, Supelrative,…

You know what happened in Garland, Texas. Two jihadists wanted to replicate and ramp up what happened in Paris, by murdering scores of patriotic Americans who were standing in defense of free speech. They were met with an utterly authentic response. The media has been waging jihad against the defenders of freedom, primarily me, but…

“I think there needs to be a change to the law where people do not disrespect especially spiritually high people,” Texas Imam Mobasher Ahmed said. “Spiritually high” like who — the jihadists? So there you have — I am not saying it, a Texas imam is. This is the objective, and what I fight against….

Above: Photo of our free speech event from the cowards at the Daily Mail Bosch Fawstin’s winning cartoon says it all. Send it around. Post it to Facebook and Twitter. Let Americans see what the media is so terrified to show. The cowardly goons and thugs in the media are self-enforcing the sharia restrictions of…

Tom Blumer over at PJM has an extraordinarily good piece on the current debate on freedom in this country in the wake of the attempted jihad massacre  at our free speech event in Garland, Texas. Great stuff, well argued — elemental. “The ‘Hate Speech’ Canard: Ticket to Tyranny,” By Tom Blumer, PJ Media, May 10,…

Watch. this. now. Geert Wilders, a member of the Dutch Parliament, was the keynote speaker at our Muhammad Art Exhibit and Cartoon Contest. He discussed with Sean Hannity his desire to plan to follow up on our event with a “Draw Muhammad” contest in the Dutch Parliament at The Hague. Sean Hannity said last night…

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…

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…

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…

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,…

In the wake of the Garland jihad shooting, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson has met with the terror group CAIR on “countering violent extremism.” The DHS is meeting with a terror spox to counter terror? Why aren’t they meeting with AFDI? And of course Hamas-CAIR is crowing about it. We have an ISIS fatwa on…

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…

He believed that if he murdered infidels whom he thought had insulted Muhammad, he would go to heaven. This is a clear and vivid illustration of how jihad attacks are motivated by the texts and teachings of Islam — not by poverty or disaffection or any of the fashionable explanations. “‘We’re here to go to…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

In my last few interviews, the enemedia asks for my own posthumous remarks. They are evil. “Pamela Geller, the Woman ISIS Wants Dead,” By Matthew Lysiak, Newsweek, May 8, 2015 After organizing the contest for Prophet Muhammad cartoons, Geller has drawn scorn from all sides. Mike Stone/Reuters After organizing the contest for Prophet Muhammad cartoons…

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…

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….
