Pamela Geller IS however responsible (directly or indirectly), for the death of two stinking Muslim terrorists and for that we need to give her our thanks.
I stand with Pam as well. I honestly hope these idiots get their way and then they will see what Pam was really up to. Dumb ahats.
Have people forgotten the time when “She was asking for it by wearing a mini-skirt” was used as a defense against sexual assault accusations?
Why do you post this crap from TNR?
Harvard law professor Noah Feldman...
PLEASE cant these people just do some quiet research and leave ys sane people alone

leads me to believe that he may be a active militant homosexual.
Pam Geller was issuing a call to arms, and rallying the team that has chosen to resist the imposition of Shari’ah law.
It is significant that only the most fleeting of glimpses of the supposedly mocking cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed Ali have been made public, as the general media seems to be paralyzed with fear of possible retaliation from the Perpetually Offended. As far as I am concerned, ALL of America, and I include Dearborn, Michigan, should have these depictions of Mohammed posted everywhere, on the telephone poles, on every board fence, in every form of public transportation that permits carrying placards, and on the front windows of every publisher of a newspaper or periodical in the US. Let the Islamists know we are ready to vent hostility in their direction.
Shari’ah law, and the ordinance within that code, which prohibits ANY display or depiction of the Prophet, and for that matter, Allah, are absolutely not compatible with the US or most state codes of law.
I too stand with Pamela!! She is a patriot. There is no place for Sharia Law in the USA!!
I also stand with Pam Gellar.
Sharia Law and in your face “We dare you to do it, and we will kill you if you do” complicit savage muslim automatons are morally responsible for the Garland exhibit and the resulting chalk outlines in front of the building.

There ya go Ed.
Professor Lubet was quite eloquent in talking out of both sides of his mouth. He minced no words in disqualifying Pamela Geller from the human race:
“Nasty hearted Islamophobe,”
“Despicable campaign to prohibit Ground Zero Mosque,”
“Pamela Geller is a religious bigot.”
I beg to differ with the professor’s moronic evaluations of the woman who is sounding the alarms while the “media” and “academia” as well as far too many politicians are cringing in their boots and shaking with fear, determined to “pacify” and placate the murderous instincts of the followers of a tyrant who was a pedophile among other things. In today’s world he would be behind bars, not the leader of a cult. I know of no “religion” that demands the annihilation of all non believers. Only Muslims build Mosques over the site of their conquered enemies, witness the Mosques in Jerusalem, in Constantinople,and ALMOST the World Trade Center.
Civilized societies should have learned a long time ago that APPEASEMENT DOES NOT WORK.
Liberalism IS a mental disorder.
Could it be that the Barbary pirates were provoked by our Founding Fathers' repulsive anti-Islam, disrespectful, impertinent activism defining justice? Only Allah can do that; to wit,
". . . there has been no social justice or anything like it in any society or civilization before the advent of Islam."
"A human being cannot establish absolute justice because he is just a mere human . . . the divine social justice advocated by Islam is an integrated system for justice enjoined by the Creator of man and all other creatures . . . Justice is Allah’s attribute"
See excerpts below and links.
We must submit lest we provoke them even more by our heritage of inalienable rights and justice..
But wait.. the name callers would scream "Bigots! Islamophobes! There is nothing in Islam's teachings about taking over the law of the land. Let us teach you about Islam. The Quran instructs that absolute justice -- not religion -- must be the ruling government's guiding principle."
OK fine. What is Quran justice?
From Part 1. "In Islam, justice is significant as it is one of the 99 Divine Attributes of Allah . . . Islam laid down foundations to regulate relationships among all individuals of the society and foremost among these bases is social justice . . . there has been no social justice or anything like it in any society or civilization before the advent of Islam."
Islam and Social Justice Part 2 A human being cannot establish absolute justice because he is just a mere human . . . the divine social justice advocated by Islam is an integrated system for justice enjoined by the Creator of man and all other creatures . . . Justice is Allah’s attribute, and to stand firm for justice is to be a witness to Allah, even if it is detrimental to our own interests (as we conceive them) or the interests of those who are near and dear to us . . . The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has given . . . the moral of justice which [is to be] observed with all people without any sort of discrimination. The story of the noble woman who stole and the reaction of the Prophet to Usama’s intercession [teaches us that Allah's Prescribed Punishments command the same punishment for all regardless of social status : cut off the noble woman's hand]. It goes beyond the scope of this paper to relate the countless examples that show the Prophet’s absolute justice and fair dealing with all human beings, and even with animals.
Being a dumb Islamophobe and all -- I will ask:
How can one be a true Muslim without accepting that only their god can define justice? Screw the islamophobe Founding Fathers.
Name calling not appreciated but contumely welcomed. I have quite a collection over the years. :)
Robert Payne wrote "The Life and Death of Adolf Hitler". A masterful work. In the introduction he savaged Hitler and his gang with a burst of invective. He poured it on. Why not? He had to guard against the usual reactionaries, who might think he tried to show a human side of a young Hitler. This in the early days of that man's life.
It is the safest way to get one's point across and deflect the vitriolic naysayers. It works!
I call the professor a bigot. I call the man an ungallant cad. Then our world is full of these would be censors. If they want YOUR opinion they will give it you.
The liberal mindset that somehow there is not only a moral equivalence between the adovocates of free speech critics of radical Islam and the Islamists but moral culpability on the pat of the people who were attacked is a very dangerous concept.
What provoked the Garland episode was not the cartoon contest but the Islamic convention that was held there before in which various speakers used hate speech against Christians and Jews accompanied by threats of violence. Geller’s group was protesting in a way to say “Never Again.” You can’t let the bully get away with intimidation in speech or he will be back with his club.
Most people are familiar with the concept of ‘grooming’ as practiced by pedophiles to gain acceptance of their particular sexual preferences by their targets. In much the same way, the bullying tactics of radical Islamists toward the rest of the world that doesn’t accept their religion is a form of psychological ‘grooming’ of the West.
Once you begin to accept the premise that they have the right to use hate speech against people they consider to be inferior infidels, and follow up the threats with violence even unto death, you have begun to lose your freedom of action.
We need more like Pam and the officer that took the two thugs out. Most talk about taking some sort of action - few actually do something substantive to indicate a willingness to take the fight to the enemy.
Hey Professor Doofus, you don’t get to call someone a “phobe” the day after they’re attacked by pecisely the people they’ve been warning about.
Despite the professor’s stupidity on this, I will give him a particle of credit for recognizing the obvious when it comes to free speech. And I wish him luck in trying to persuade his doofus comrades in the faculty lounge.
