This is what happens when government arbitrarily decides what speech is good and what’s forbidden. That is the reason that our founding fathers made the freedom of speech our first (not the third or the fifth or the eight) amendment.

Ten years ago, the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten “inflamed the Muslim world” (as if that were hard to do) by publishing some innocuous Muhammad cartoons. The cartoons were published in September 2005 without incident. An Egyptian newspaper picked them up and ran them in October. But it wasn’t until the Organization of Islamic Cooperation met in…

This is big international news today — but my colleague Robert Spencer was saying it over a month ago. “Scholars catch up to Spencer, realize ancient Qur’an challenges Islam’s origins,” by Robert Spencer, Jihad Watch, August 31, 2015: “Fragments of the world’s oldest Koran, found in Birmingham last month, may predate the Prophet Muhammad and…

The Sad Case of Mogens Camre: Criminalizing Dissent in Denmark By Pamela Geller, Breitbart News, August 22, 2015  Danish politician Mogens Camre has become the latest casualty of the war against free speech. Breitbart reported Wednesday that Camre, a “former member of the Danish parliament and European Parliament for the Danish People’s Party (Dansk Folkpartei, DF)…

Trump’s statement about Megyn Kelly highlights once again his misogyny, and Jack Wheeler has the goods on this blowhard: He (Trump last night) said nothing of substance whatever – try to find a counterexample in the transcript.

I did a live interview with 1010 wins on the latest Islamic threats to my life: Blogger Pamela Geller On 1010 WINS: I Will Not Let Violent Threats Silence Me June 16, 2015 9:55 AM NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) —Pamela Geller, the conservative blogger known for provoking Muslims, said she will remain under heightened security for the…

Here’s an article from the Hollywood Reporter. It is typically Hollywoodish, using rampage to describe me and my work — “to rush around in a violent and uncontrollable manner.” Actually that’s what jihadists do. No surprise…..it’s Hollywood, after all. But it is a Q & A, so while Mr. Bond of the Hollywood Reporter was…

Check out this interview I did with the Daily Caller. “Pamela Geller: Left ‘Wants To Crush All Dissent’ “By Kerry Picket, Daily Caller, June 7, 2015 Political activist Pamela Geller was the target of Boston jihadi Usaamah Abdullah Rahim who sources say plotted to behead her, but when he decided to attack the Boston Police…

Here is the video where I go one-on-one with Imam Aslam Abdullah, Islamic Society of of Nevada, on Muhammad, sharia law, and the Qur’an.

Christian Post on Islamic law adherence in America: “America Is Surrendering Freedom of Speech as a ‘Relic of History,’ Activist Pam Geller Says After DC Metro Avoids Running Muhammad Cartoon Ads,” By Michael Gryboski, Christian Post, May 30 2015 Washington, D.C.’s public transportation system has rejected an ad depicting a cartoon representation of the Muslim…

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…

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?

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.

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.

Watch this video – it’s a good discussion on free speech. Opinion Journal: Pam Geller and the First Amendment 5/5/2015 Global View Columnist Bret Stephens on the organizer of the Texas Prophet Mohammed cartoon context. Wall Street Journal, May 5, 2015

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…

NYC has banned opposition to jihad in the public square. Think of it: 100 years of free speech in the public square — DOA. Sharia became law in New York City on April 29, 2015. Read my piece at Breitbart here. Think of it. The Nazis were allowed to rally at Madison Square Garden in…

Ira Greenberg, MTA Board Member: “[The ads] make me want to strangle the life out of the person who took them out” (minute 1:40) And I’m the hater?? Hey, Ira, if that MTA thing doesn’t work out, maybe you can get a job with ISIS… Between Moerdler and Greenberg, they ought to be jailed for…

The vicious Charles Moerdler makes another vile attack on free speech, followed by a reasoned response by Jeff Bannan. Thomas F. Prendergast, President of the NYC MTA (photo above), makes final comments, followed by the VOTE by quislings, fascists and cowards. Charles Moerdler, attorney for the notorious leftist United Federation of Teachers, has previously argued…

It’s a big story and well it should be. The West is lost. And horribly enough, it is, as predicted by jihadists and the hundreds of Muslims groups named in the largest terrorist funding trial in our nation’s history, “by its own hand.” The Muslim Brotherhood Project in America: “The Ikhwan must understand that their…

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 editors and cartoonists at the French satirical news weekly, Charlie Hebdo, died for these cretins. Because they took a stand for freedom, they were slaughtered in cold blood. And these vultures pretend to inhabit the higher ground. They inhabit a cave from which they ought never to emerge. “PEN Runs Out: Six Members Withdraw…

Here’s the statement from our supreme legal team, notably, ““Across the country, we have successfully litigated cases where government transit authorities permit the Muslim Brotherhood-Hamas front groups like the Council on American-Islamic Relations to run ads misleading the public about Jihad and Islamic Jew hatred.  When our clients run ads exposing this Jew hatred, all…

Another case of lone wolf morphing into a wolf pack. There are no lone wolves in the jihad war. There are millions of Muslim soldiers all over the world all following the same playbook – the Quran – and the same ideology – Islam. But the media won’t ever tell you that. It wouldn’t fit…

The supreme Mr. Steyn nails it, yet again. Further proof we are living in “the age of the crank” partner with “the age of the coward”.

The collective cowardice continues. We expect this from other countries, but this uniform fear and submission in the United States is shocking. The country was founded on freedom — freedom of speech, individual rights, equality for all. This crushing surrender to the most brutal and extreme ideology on the face of the earth portends an unimaginable…

Here’s the latest in our ongoing battle with NYC’s MTA, which rejected one of our ads for fear that it might “incite” Muslims to kill Jews. They sound, well, islamophobic, don’t ya think? Freedom of speech is the first casualty in the age of jihad. Here’s the latest from our fearless legal team, the AFLC….

Not only will the truth set you free, it will keep you free. NYC went up today, just as we moved on and took on Philly transit: “Pro-Israel Group Asks Court to Order SEPTA to Display ‘Stop the Islamic Jew-Hatred’ Advertisement,” American Freedom Law Center, October 2, 2014   Today, the American Freedom Law Center (AFLC)…

Today David Yerushalmi of the AFLC and I went down to the Federal Courthouse at 500 Pearl Street and filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the New York MTA for refusing to run a political ad on MTA buses that contained a quote from Hamas TV, stating, “Killing Jews is worship that draws us…

At 12:00 noon, on Wednesday, October 1, 2014, my lawyers from the American Freedom Law Center (AFLC) and I will be filing a federal civil rights lawsuit against the New York MTA for refusing to run a political ad on MTA buses that contained a quote from Hamas TV, stating, “Killing Jews is worship that…

One of our ads was rejected last month by the New York MTA. I had submitted five, and one was refused. I replaced the rejected ad with two others — the “yesterday’s moderate is today’s headline” and “Hamas is ISIS.” We have six ads running on buses and urban panels. “They’re wrong,” Ms. Geller said….

While we roll out a new ad campaign next week with over 100 buses and urban panels, one of the ads in our new campaign was rejected by the Pennsylvania Transit Authority. Imagine: During the American Revolution, Philadelphia played an instrumental role as a meeting place for the Founding Fathers of the United States, who…

Back on June 18th I reported on a notorious (but popular) imam in Dearborn calling for sharia restrictions on the first amendment in the wake of a quran burnings in front of his mosque. I wrote: As for the two qurans that were allegedly burned outside a mosque, color me skeptical. We have seen so…

Freedom of speech is the first, last and most essential freedom. The right to hold any view and to express it. It’s the most fundamental tenet of a free society. No ifs, ands, buts or sharia. Western elites are framing sharia restrictions on speech (blasphemy) under the Orwellian guise of tolerance. But what could be…

The Obama administration has now endangered the hallmark of Internet freedom. The Obama administration made the surprise announcement that it will relinquish its oversight of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. Global governance of the internet. “Global governance?” As in the UN. And who and what drives the UN? The OIC. The Organization of the Islamic Conference will doubtless demand the suppression of websites that “insult Islam” or “encourage hatred,” and a number of European countries will go along.

We fired our latest salvo against the suppression and restriction of our First Amendment rights in deference to the blasphemy laws under the sharia. The American Freedom Law Center (AFLC) filed its opening brief on Friday in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, appealing a lower federal court ruling that denied AFLC’s motion for a preliminary injunction.

As the Constitutional Convention was ending in 1787, a woman asked Benjamin Franklin, “Well, Doctor, what have we got: a republic or a monarchy?” Franklin replied: “A republic, if you can keep it.” Apparently, we can’t.

Last Wednesday, a U.S. appeals court ordered Google to remove “Innocence of Muslims,” the Muhammad video that Obama blamed for the Benghazi jihad attacks, from YouTube.

What, pray tell, is the difference between “savages” and “those engaged in savage acts”? That is the question to which only the MBTA knows the answer. And I am not so sure that they even they know …. We have just filed a follow-up lawsuit in continuing legal fight against the MBTA for its arbitrary and absurd violation of out First Amendment freedoms.

Hamas-CAIR is praising its tools at the Department of Justice for pursuing a sharia agenda to restrict free speech and criminalize criticism Islam. Hamas-CAIR calls the close to 2,000 freedom lovers an "anti-Muslim mob." We are anti-oppression. We are anti-statism. We are anti-totalitarianism. We are anti-sharia. Does that make us anti-Muslim? Of course not. As…
