GARLAND, Tex. — When Muslim leaders in the Dallas area learned in February that a provocative New York blogger named Pamela Geller had rented space for an exhibition of cartoons and caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad featuring speakers known for vitriol against Islam, they decided to ignore her.
They were well acquainted with Ms. Geller’s methods and figured that there was no point protesting and giving her free publicity.
“We don’t want to be falling for her tactics,” Alia Salem, the executive director of the Dallas and Fort Worth chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said to her colleagues. “She’s trying to bait the Muslim community.”

People like Pamela Geller, they are fringe elements. They won’t be able to sustain themselves for too long, because what they are selling is lies.
It seems to me that two idiot terrorists validated everything Geller claimed and more. That's the real reason for the outrage - she called them terrorists and they proved it for her.
I haven’t heard anyone notice that the Obama has been silent on what is unquestionably (if failed) a terrorist attack.
Here Here! That was some DAMN FINE shooting on the part of that security guard. Damn fine. Texas fine. One Texan fired on, he knocked leather and dropped two critters dead. Damn! That’s how they do it in The Lone Star State.
Agree completely.
I dunno. I live in Washington State where they point and blame.
Good point!
These squirrels are easy to bait because they are so f****** STOOPID!!!
I was surprised that the following comment was #2 in the NYT.

that’s correct: Free speech is not (necessarily) responsible speech. But the First Amendment to the Constitution protects heresy, protects blasphemy, protects all manner of insults that would make you angry as all get out. It’s not ‘hate speech’ to insult someone. This isn’t a close call. Making fun of religion is fare game under the Constitution. So is a lot of other truly obnoxious speech. If there is something to “American exceptionalism” .. this is most definitely it.
Then maybe they should rise up against these yahoos committing crimes in the name of their religion.
Chalk-outline guy is the best job on the Police Force.
Why is it that whenever Mooslims do something bad the press pretends Mooslims are the victims?
The fine line they need to walk is in Saudi Arabia.
They should all walk the fine line all the way back to Mudhutistan.
If you DO NOT understand the One Worlders’ plan to turn America into just another third world hellhole, watch — and share — this 4 minute video! If you’re too disconnected, disinterested or have drunk too much of the insane multiculturalism/tolerance/diversity Kool-Aid to help to halt this process and have children, please leave a letter behind for them apologizing and consider cremation lest they be tempted to dig you up in order to spit in your face for failing to preserve the birthright WE understood to be ours and for which scores of millions died to defend.

If said children are not too busy worshiping God to engage in any such vain nonsense... they are part of the problem too, not part of the solution.
In fact, all laws restricting gun ownership or carry should be repealed IMMEDIATELY in emergency legislative sessions across the land.
Every citizen should be armed and ready for an attack by ANY Muslim, because any Muslim who believes the Koran is a potential jihadi, and anyone who says different is deceived.
They better walk a straight line. For their own protection.
The argument against Christianity is that it is an oppressive, patriarchal, superstitious relic of the Dark Ages. That justifies its continued condemnation amongst the favored elite. But if those terms describe Christianity, how much more do they apply to islime?
Sauce for the goose has become sauce for the gander. Choke on it.
It is clear that muslims, like communists, are on their best behavior when they are afraid.
Name one lie.
Pamela Geller knows what she is talking about.
She is probably more knowledgeable about Islam, the Koran, Sharia, and the history of muslim violence and atrocities than 95% of the muslims in the world.
Anyone I have seen who tries to debate her on her beliefs and statements about Islam gets steamrollered by the facts.
