With Pamela Geller's Prophet Muhammad cartoon stunt in Texas, hate rears its ugly face again
NY Daily News ^ | Tuesday, May 5, 2015 | Linda Stasi

Looks like Pamela Geller will get her wish: More dead Americans at the hands of radical Muslims. Hell, the hatemonger finally even got ISIS to pay attention to her.

Last week Geller — whose repulsive anti-Muslim ad campaign caused the MTA to ban all religious, opinion and political ads — held a $10,000 contest in Texas. The aim? To draw caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad, which she knows is forbidden by most Muslims and frowned upon by the rest.

The result? Two violent radical Muslims opened fire on the group, and the shooters ended up dead at the hands of the police. Yesterday ISIS claimed credit and vowed to kill more Americans.

Violence and its ugly brother, violent protest, is the lowest form of human expression and runs counter to what most of the great religious and philosophical prophets, from Jesus to Muhammad to Martin Luther King to Mahatma Gandhi, preached.

But so is hate-filled propaganda against any one religion. Geller, like ISIS and al Qaeda, revel in hate and nothing would make any of them happier than to be the catalyst for the killing of hundreds of innocent Americans to prove a point. Geller would be a hero to the hateful. Damn the cost in innocent lives, damn the heartache.

She is not asking Muslims to draw them.

And they don’t have to look at ones that others draw (change the channel).

How fitting that someone named Stasi should be siding with the 9h Century knuckledraggers.

It’s tougher to prove that with a public figure.

LOL! Well according to a “pro” golfer the other morning, the offended parties were just displaying their 2nd amendment rights. WTH? Guess I musta missed the part in the 2nd that says if you’re offended by someone you can just go out and try to shoot them. He tried to retract later but consistently kept digging the hole deeper and deeper. So, who’s the hater? Thanks to the 60 year old LEO who was working security and hopefully upped the sale of Glocks in .45 cal. Fifteen seconds to end the threat. Awesome. Range time well spent.

The Media and Libs/Progressives/Leftists are missing one point:

Islamists do no need an excuse to attack and kill non-Islamists.

The same book they use to claim pix of Mohammad are worthy of death also demands they kill all infidels [non-Islamists].

Islamist:

Convert or be beheaded.
Convert and be beheaded.

LOL!!!!

You couldn’t find two more different people in all of history than Jesus and Mohammed.

Mohammed was a mass-murderer, torturer, rapist, polygamist, pedophile, pirate, brigand, slave-trader, sex-slaver, liar, truce-breaker, and all-around bloody genocidal savage.

My point is not entirely the same as your point.

Many folks, even professed Christians, refer to "the prophet mohammed".

The phrase "the prophet mohammed" is an assertion which I utterly reject. He wasn't a prophet, and I refuse to say that he was. Furthermore, I encourage others who reject the idea that mohammed was a prophet to likewise refuse to call him one.

And yes, I have the Constitutional right to do that ... here, our points converge.

"But so is hate-filled propaganda against any one religion."

Remember the feminist slogan, "A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle"? That slogan is a derisive dig at an entire class of people, yet I would bet the ranch that the author not only never criticized it, but thought it was funny.

...

From what I understand, she was simply repeating what Muslims have said.

If she were older she would be one of those people in 1980 that said, “I can’t believe Reagan won. Nobody I know voted for him.”

If the government will fund the christ pee exhibit, they have no business poo-pooing the mocom-ecom contest.

Liberal media verdict:

Charlie Hebdo = brave journalists.

Pamela Geller = hater.

Both encouraged satire against the Muslim religion, but CH was liberal, Geller is conservative, hence the different verdict from the media.

Absolutely right. "Hate" has written an article and got it published in the New York Daily News. The author of this article is a vile hate filled person who is attempting to manipulate public opinion by misdirecting the truth.

Her name, "Linda STASI" is absolutely appropriate.

The author would have condemned D-Day because it caused Germans to kill more Americans.

Comedians Sarah Silverman, Kathy Griffin (Griffith?), and Larry David- among many others - have all made deliberately offensive jibes against Christian belief, and none of them were shot at by enraged Christians. Where was Ms. Stasi and her self-righteousness on those occasions?

As opposed to the day before when they claimed credit for something else and vowed to kill more Americans.
