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…

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…

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,…

The “deradicalization” programs are failing in Europe as well. This was, of course, utterly predictable. If we are not addressing the ideology behind this war, and that’s what this is — then failure is to be expected. Reading the writings of Martin Luther King Jr.and the U.S. Constitution to cure jihadism is counter intuitive. It…

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,…

Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.com Fox News Video: “Did Pamela Geller provoke Texas attack?” Watch this debate. The Democratic strategist Jessica Tarlov claims that I have said “really offensive things” such as “Obama is a closet Muslim,” which I have NEVER said. This is what they have to do. They have to lie 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…

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…

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…

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 can now go after the sources. They are gleaning intel from their computers as we speak. We smoked out a…

Tonight Juan Williams soiled himself trying to take me down on Sean Hannity’s show. What’s outrageous is his seemingly pious air. He did, after all, say, “the truth is that I worry when I am getting on an airplane and see people dressed in garb that identifies them first and foremost as Muslims.” I have…

This is yet another vicious hit piece from the Daily News, but I thought it worth posting because I was in extensive threat assessment meetings with the NYPD today, and they’re on the job. If the Islamic State wants to get to me, they’re going to have to go through the NYPD. “NYPD assessing ISIS…

The Daily News has often viciously attacked me and my work. They are hardly more favorable in this piece. But at least they now understand that if they don’t defend the freedom of speech and the people who are exercising it, even those they don’t like, the consequences could be disastrous for everyone. “Protect Pamela…

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…

Common sense from Rush Limbaugh. Free speech is under attack from the mainstream media, and thank Gd that Rush is there to call them out on it. Listen to this segment here. “ISIS Attacks, CNN Blames Victim,” Rush Limbaugh, May 4, 2015 BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: We have the ISIS shooting in Garland, Texas, to deal…

It’s not surprising that they failed to prevent the attack on our AFDI/Jihad Watch Muhammad Art Exhibit and Cartoon Contest. The Obama administration years ago forced the FBI and other agencies to scrub all mention of Islam and jihad from counter-terror training. Agents are consequently woefully ignorant about the mindset, motives, and goals of the…

It is unimaginable. The descent of the mainstream media into out-and-out pro-jihad agitation is complete. Two Islamic jihadists attempt to murder hundreds of people at our free speech event in Texas, and the Washington Post says that I “offer no apology.” I offer no apology? What apology exactly do I owe for almost being murdered?…

This is a war. This is war on free speech. What are we going to do? Are we going to surrender to these monsters? Two men with rifles and backpacks attacked police outside our event. A cop was shot; his injuries are not life-threatening, thank Gd. Please keep him in your prayers. The bomb squad…

For those who could not attend this historic event in person, the United West will be livestreaming it. Tune in at 5pm CENTRAL Time (6pm Eastern) when the action starts. Just click on the video below. Follow me on instagram here and Twitter here and Facebook for my photos in real time. The Dallas Morning…

We had a victory yesterday in federal court. The MTA filed a motion to dismiss yesterday. The Judge who ruled in our favor was not amused. And just to show how loaded the dice are against us, the judge, the MTA lawyer and libeler Charles Moerdler, the MTA board member who prefaced his remarks with…

Here is the video I described earlier of power-mad MTA Board member Charles Moerdler, who led today’s putsch against free speech. He was the only one on record to support the ban. But the fix was in before this meeting ever took place. Moerdler’s rant was not about the jihad ads. No. In a vicious…

A century of free speech in New York’s most public square — the streets, the buses, the subways — came to a screeching halt today when the MTA voted to ban all issue and political advertising. The other topic of discussion, by the way, was the billions in debt the MTA was. The five public…

The family has hired terror spokesman Hassan Shibly. So the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. ‘Spill All of Their Blood… Kill Them’: How a Suburban American Girl Hatched an Elaborate Plan to Flee Her Family and Join the Islamic State,” Billy Hallowell, Blaze, April 21, 2015 A business student from Alabama whose family…

According to the source, one “J Streeter” pushed Obama to remove the American veto protection of Israel at the UN in the event that a Security Council resolution called for the creation of a Palestinian State.(here) The extreme left and BDS-supporting New Israel Fund has taken over much of the American Jewish establishment. We see…

They will, too, unless authorities in Kenya wake up to the reality of what is happening and move decisively against the mosques and Islamic schools where this savagery is taught as service to the supreme being. And the cities in the West will run red with blood as well, unless and until our authorities wake…

Another AFDI ad campaign is rolling. Onward and upward, freedom lovers. Donate here.

Another glorious moment for AFDI and all Americans. SEPTA (South Eastern Pennsylvania Transit Authority) held a press conference this afternoon announcing that they will not appeal their loss, our win last week in our free speech lawsuit. The court ruled that the Transit Authority cannot ban our message highlighting Islamic Jew-hatred, the root cause of…

Piloting a plane to crash is not suicide, it’s mass murder. Lubitz was identified as a German citizen and Mr Robin said he was not known to terrorism links or extremist links, but the prosecutor said he was expecting more information from the German authorities. Marseille prosecutor Brice Robin added his religion was “unknown.” The…

The hijab, the niqab and the burqa are the symbols of Islamic misogyny and manifestations of a culture that considers violence against women acceptable — the quran even says to beat women from whom a man may “fear disobedience” (4:34). I am sure, therefore, that this kind of thing happens far more often than is…

It has been shown time and time again – whether it was the Muslim doctors who tried to blow up the Glasgow airport; or the wealthy, educated diplomat’s son who attempted to bomb a plane right out of the sky over Detroit on Christmas Day; or the group of 45 Muslim doctors who plotted Islamic…

The articles come almost daily now: Muslim (and non-Muslim) authorities assuring us that what the Islamic State and other jihad terrorists do — mass murders, beheadings, rapes, destruction — has nothing do with Islam, despite the jihadis’ quotations of the Qur’an and screams of “Allahu akbar.” And every day, mainstream outlets such as Newsweek here…

Bibi beats Obama! Despite Obama’s interference, V15, missions spent by the State Department and Obama’s Jews at the New Israel Fund and Alisa Doctoroff, Karen Adler, the Carole Zabar, the Bronfman Foundation, David Hochberg, The Jewish Communal Fund, Edith Everett, Rosenzweig Coopersmith Foundation, Max and Andre Leichtag, Geoffrey Biddle, David Eisner, President and CEO of…

“The Talmud teaches that the Temples in Jerusalem were destroyed because of sinat chinam, ceaseless and unwarranted hatred that Jews needlessly displayed towards other Jews.” How ironic that Deborah Lipstadt and David Ellenson would write that, since that is just what they’re guilty of doing: spreading unwarranted hatred toward Ronn Torossian and me for daring…

Tell me who your friends are, and I’ll tell you who you are. The New Israel Fund was supported on Twitter tonight by none other than Mohammed Amin, a British Muslim who is Vice Chairman of the Conservative Muslim Forum. He regularly supports NIF – and here’s his latest: https://twitter.com/Mohammed_Amin Mohammed Amin @Mohammed_Amin  ·  2h…

“Truth is the new hate speech” — Pamela Geller. The Michigan Taylor City Council unanimously approved a resolution Tuesday that supports a campaign in support of sharia under the guise of “hate based on religion.” Islamic supremacism as law. Jihadists are conducting a genocide against Christians across the world and US politicians are passing resolutions…

If you are following this space, there has been a lot of controversy surrounding the involvement and donations of Alisa Doctoroff, UJA-Federation President, to the New Israel Fund, which supports BDS and other unrelated anti-Israel activities. Among Jewish leadership, sadly, she is not alone. The Leichtag Foundation in San Diego are prominent donors to the…

UJA-Federation President Alisa Doctoroff has been outed as supporter of the jihad against Israel. Last week, State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf noted that America would not win the war on terror without finding jobs for the Islamic jihadists who make up ISIS. As she said, “We cannot win the War on Terror, nor can we…

“The Poo Generation“,  By Pamela Geller, The American Thinker Every generation has unintentional icons – whether it’s Rosie the Riveter, the American flag, Elvis Presley, the motorcycle jacket – ideas that best express the zeitgeist of a time, a generation. The emoticon found on phones today, of a happily smiling pile of excrement, is just…

After Breitbart published my takedown of the Houston Chronicle’s sophomoric CAIR press release, the thumb-sucking Houston Chronicle “journalist” Dylan Baddour began receiving numerous tweets questioning his journalist integrity and skill. He emailed me and wrote a subsequent piece for the Chronicle, which is behind a paywall. What is interesting about Baddour’s new piece in the…

The usual suspects, Muslim Jew-haters and extremists. It’s better without them. Back in 2006, I had the honor to be present in the Congress when the Israeli Prime Minister (then Ehud Olmert) addressed the Congress. I was not a fan of his, but it was thrilling. The moment was much bigger than who the PM…

The New Israel Fund Are Extremists – Read Our Reply To Their Statement David Hochberg, Sally Gottesman, And Edith Everett Join UJA-Federation President Alisa Doctoroff In Harming Israel The New Israel Fund issued a statement today which validated everything that the critics of the New Israel Fund (NIF) have been saying. While they refuted no…

You know what this means — President Obama will go before the American people, again, and proselytize for Islam. Islam is peace and all that tripe. The only thing that equals Obama saying Islam is not Islamic is Department of Homeland Secretary Jeh Johnson warning those of us going to the mall that it’s not…

The skills I learn in journalism school make it hard for other people to hang around me. — Dylan Baddour (@DylanBaddour) September 14, 2013 Savages, however, prefer his company. What did this useful idiot learn in “journalism school? Read on. I spent 22 minutes talking to this zombie — all for naught. Nothing I said…

The jihad in Thailand is only going to get worse. As America’s power in the world continues to diminish under Obama, the forces of evil are becoming more emboldened, brazen and savage. There is growing Muslim support for the Islamic State (IS) from South Asia to the Far East; four new jihadist groups are planning…

Obama’s closing remarks at the absurdly titled “Countering Violent Extremism” summit. It’s jihad — just say it. His speech isn’t about countering Islamic terror, it’s about countering islamophobia. As part of this summit, we’re announcing that we’re going to increase our outreach to communities, including Muslim Americans. We’re going to step up our efforts to…

The Orlando Sentinel is now so pro-jihad that it makes al Jazeera blush (or pea Islamic green) with envy. Yesterday there was a puff piece in the Sentinel on the terror group Hamas-CAIR and one of its ministers of propaganda, Hezb’Allah Hassan Shibly, that took this Der Stürmer propaganda to a whole other level. The…

On January 5, my colleague Anders Gravers and Stop Islamisation of Europe (SIOE)’s Danish branch, Stop Islamisation of Denmark (SIAD), along with three other groups, started a campaign called “No more islam! Crack Islam!” This campaign will be demonstrating every second Monday for the rest of the year. They are initially staying away from the…
