Prominent anti-jihadi bloggers Pamela Geller of Atlas Shrugs and Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch have been banned from entering Great Britain for a democracy march. The BBC reported:
Two prominent US bloggers have been banned from entering the UK, the Home Office has said.
Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer co-founded anti-Muslim group Stop Islamization of America.
They were due to speak at an English Defence League march in Woolwich, where Drummer Lee Rigby was killed.
A government spokesman said individuals whose presence is not conducive to the public good could be excluded by the home secretary.
He added: We condemn all those whose behaviours and views run counter to our shared values and will not stand for extremism in any form.
Right decision
Ms Geller, of the Atlas Shrugs blog, and Mr Spencer, of Jihad Watch, are also co-founders of the American Freedom Defense Initiative, best known for a pro-Israel Defeat Jihad poster campaign on the New York subway.
The UK should never become a stage for inflammatory speakers who promote hate
On both of their blogs the pair called their bans from entering the UK a striking blow against freedom and said the the nation that gave the world the Magna Carta is
I agree. And Robert Spencer is a hero as well.
I think both were also banned from speaking at CPAC 2013 earlier this year. Outrageous!
I’ll know I have ‘made it’ in life when I get banned from entering a nation. That is a true badge of achievement.
Say goodbye to the UK. It’s finished.
Well they were going there for a rally against Islamofascism.
They should consider it a badge of honor, and those Conservatives similarly banned august company to share. Merry Olde England is going down the tubes faster than a dead goldfish. They can’t give away their sovereignty or cultural integrity fast enough. Me, I don’t get it. What do the Brits get in trade? Ignorant knucklewalking Muzzie slimes who murder their daughters for looking at a boy and hack British soldiers to death in broad daylight?
How much you want to bet the English weenie version of Prism and or the NSA is looking up the butts of every EDL member and see's them as more of a threat than the Amish....
IMHO maybe that had more to do with it than we know as they would have egged them on...
We let their guys in last September 11 to speak at a Geller/Spencer event. Maybe their event is outdoors and harder to secure? Stay safe, Pam and Robert. We need you.
Maybe Doc S. will be in tonite to talk about this?
I related news, a young boy in knee pants was taken into custody for having the temerity to announce in a loud voice,
“The Emperor has no clothes!” (no, BHO was not visiting England.)
Commies never want to debate - just to ban and dominate.
