The founder of the organization that sponsored the Mohammad cartoon contest in Garland, TX, has long been in the news as an incendiary spokeswoman for anti-Islamic causes.
Pamela Geller is the founder of the American Freedom Defense Initiative, an organization also known as Stop Islamization of America, which was formed in 2009 to oppose the building of a mosque and community center near the site of the Sept. 11 terror attacks. That controversy propelled Geller into the national spotlight.
AFDI has been classified as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. Geller, who is Jewish, has been denounced by the Jewish Anti-Defamation League as “rousing public fears about a vast Islamic conspiracy to destroy American values.”
Though she is has voiced support for Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz, her strident rhetoric and sweeping accusations have caused many conservatives to distance themselves from her.
She accused two prominent conservatives of being sympathetic to the jihadist cause, which she believes led to her exclusion from the Conservative Political Action Conference in 2011. She said that Grover Norquist and Suhail Kahn were puppets of the Islamic Brotherhood, and they used their influence to bar her from CPAC.
On her blog, Atlas Shrugs, she called Norquist a “dangerous Islamic infiltrator" and said Kahn, a Republican consultant and former Bush White House official, was worse than Anwar al-Awlawki, a terrorist killed by a U.S. drone strike in Yemen.
Geller insists she is a defender of freedom of speech against jihadists and a shadowy group attempting to impose Sharia law on the United States. “The U.S. Constitution is under attack from fundamentalist Islam and Shariah," is the mission statement of the SIOA.
She repeated that stance in interviews with Fox News and CNN on Monday after the attacks, saying the attack was on free speech, not her or keynote speaker Geert Wilders, a Dutch politician who is on an al-Qaeda hit list.
“Civilized men can disagree. Savages will kill you when they disagree,” she said to CNN, adding that in America “…we're abridging our freedoms so as not to offend savages.”
In that same interview she denied being anti-Muslim, but said she is against the 25 percent of them who support Sharia law.
She told Fox News that the media is part of the problem, as well.
"We see across the world Sharia enforcement by violent jihadists," she said on Fox & Friends on Monday. "And the media scrubs, whitewashes the jihadic doctrine. What happened in France [the Charlie Hebdo slaughter] could easily have happened here."
Orwell mentioned something about truth in such times IIRC.
FUNNY THING much truth there.
I’m for freedom of speech but the corporatist elites aren’t in this case, since the big business giants that run the big political parties do business with Saudi and Gulf Arab money from places like the UAE and Qatar.
Headline might as well read: Tom Ensey of KPHO is called “violator of children and livestock” by known liar.
Who cares if the source is credible, by God they said it!
If you post regularly on FR & donate from time to time, you’re on CAIR’s radar as well as that of NSA.
SPLC? Or “Splick” as I call it. Who cares? Potok & Deas are hatred defined, and anyone who cites them is equally as evil.
Since we may all be on some muzzie group’s hit list, time to get more range time. At least the koranimals are posting their intentions on social media now. Makes drawing a targeet on them easier.
It’s going to get a lot uglier. Be prepared to cut flesh.
Proud $1/day donor for years. I have already assumed I’m on a lot of radars. Could you imagine the blackmail files a Prez Hillary could create? Craig Livingstone would be impressed.
I sit here, in Garland TX, pondering a few things:
These dimwits rolled out of their car with “body armor and assault rifles” and laid down some indiscriminate gunfire.
Only to be capped by a lone patrol officer of Garland PD who drew his sidearm and dropped both perps. I call that damn good shooting officer, thank you very much.
That man is a hero. And I have no problem is Pam, she tells it like it is and I agree with every word I heard on her CNN interview earlier this day. If that freaks the interviewer out tough feces.
I have this to say to the two freak jihadis: Welcome to Texas, y’all. Now go collect your virgins. I hope they all look just like Hillary Clinton.
9/11 is all I need to know about mussies ....
Ted Cruz Ping! Please name names.

It goes on prior and after but thats the money shot.
“Case in point: Should I also mention the guy on another thread right now making excuses for incremental gun control?”
Realllllly? Yes, indeed you should. It would be even better with a link.
Read Festers entire line of debate in the link I just posted a bit ago. I apologize in advance for your coming headache.
That is the brilliance of the drawing. And it does not name Mohammed. If you think it's Mohammed, that exists in your twisted muslim mind alone.
But we don't need to share your pathology, no thank you.
According to the ExCTCitizen Defense Center, CAIR and the SPLC are hate groups... :-)
Can you imagine the size of the government dossier on Robert Spencer?
Saw him on some show where the host thinks criticizing Islam is nothing but “pure hate”, with a Muslim spokescreep hurling nothing but ad hominem insults.
Robert stood his ground magnificently. Either freedom of speech is an absolute right guaranteed under the Constitution, or as the other side believes, we “infidels” should all submit to what I call “Shariah appeasement”.
Or, “Don’t anger the Muslims! They’ve proven they’ll try to kill those who do.”
FWIW I’m heading out to the farm this week for a .45 caliber tune up & some AK practice. Firing from inside my vehicle or outside, moving or stopped.
Muzzies in America are going to try some bad s*** now. And last night shows they’re as likely to be domestic converts to “Prislam” as Ayrabs or Pakis.
NO APPEASEMENT!! And, my fellow “infidels”, your ability to survive may well depend upon your ability to pop oncoming angry flesh with eyes!
I’m one of the fortunate Californians, I’ve had my ccw about 20 years. You can bet we will see more crap from the muzzies and I intend to be ready.
Good gravy. They find some crackpot who “calls” you “Islamophobic” and then run this “some” call her a blah blah blah and a no good whatever
Pam Geller is one of the very few who keep telling it like it is, and Obama keeps telling Pam: “The future must not belong to those who slander the Prophet of Islam.”
F him and the horse’s ass (Biden) he rode in on!
