Americans will defend to the death — and literally had to — Pamela Geller’s right to disseminate images of the Prophet Muhammad. The First Amendment applies even to irresponsible provocateurs.
A Geller-organized event in Texas over the weekend included inviting artists to draw images of Muhammad, an act that has provoked deadly attacks by some Islamists.
In explaining her rationale, Geller pointed to an Iranian Holocaust cartoon contest that drew nearly 1,000 entries, saying “We need to make a similar show of strength of what is right.” Which extended to a drawing of Muhammad anally impaled on a pencil up through his mouth.

She has set out not to just risk violence, but to provoke it . Pamela Geller n’est pas Charlie Hebdo.

Playing with fire?
The NY Daily News doesn’t understand the difference between an arson investigator and an arsonist.
But not one of these Muslim azz-lickers will explain why it wasn’t “provocation” to put crosses in jars of urine or show depictions Mary, Jesus’ mother, smeared with dung.
I do things like that too, since the left gets so wound up about “micro-aggressions”, it’s a release of stress to wind them up.
But they are very biased about the issues for which they self-censor.
Well, blasphemous use of Christian symbols and personalities isn;’t, we already know that.
SO WHY LET ANY MUSLIMS IN THE COUNTRY....???????:
Damned if i know, if anyone feels they want to enlighten me please have at it!!! Seems to me to many of them are scum.
Is that what these 'liberals' are saying?
Gee, if we conservatives only had so much impact on the politicians.
Is “Dark Ages Islam” a new section 8 housing unit or something?
Bingo! And be sure to advertise well in advance, with great ZEAL, and lotsa cartoons of Pervert Mohammed!!
The mere act of being Christian in many areas of the world can get you beheaded by these savage koranimals.
If Pamela had tied a few goats to the bike rack as a distraction; there would have been no need for security.
They already do that in some Europeon neighborhoods.
And it is more fair for fat ugly women that are under pressure in our society to be skinny and beautiful./s
Jews provoke jihadists simply by their existence. Perhaps leftists should outlaw Jews to stop the provocation.
What’s even “funnier” is the gays haven’t gone after any Muslim bakeries for refusing to bake them a wedding cake, even though Muslims disapprove of gays and kill them.
Unless the free speech is pornography.
Gellar paid for extra security.
The more I see of Pamela Geller, the more I think she would make a great Secretary of State in the Cruz administration. Do I hear a second..?
Ever see that satiracle story about the PETA activists that tried to disrupt a Hell’s Angel rally (over excessive use of leather)?
Thats why we don’t see anything along the line of what you say.
