Hotel cancels Tea Party event after learning that anti-Islam activist was due to be a speaker
Daily Mail UK ^ | October 19, 2011 | Meghan Keneally

A hotel in Texas cancelled a Tea Party event that was going to be held in their conference room because it didn't approve of the group's keynote speaker. Pamela Geller, a political activist and blogger, was schedule to headline the event and caused hotel representatives to deny the group use of their space.

Officially, the Hyatt Place Houston Sugar Land hotel cancelled the event citing 'changing security needs' after they learned that Ms Geller would be speaking.

This is not the first time that Ms Geller has ruffled feathers: the staunch conservative has written extensively against Islam and regularly attacks the religion because she deems it 'the radical most radical and extreme ideology on the face of the earth'.

'I'm not bashing Muslims. I'm not bashing people. I love people, It's why I do what I do,' Ms Geller said.

In spite of that, the event was forced to move to the Sugar Land Community Center, where it was held Tuesday night

'I think it's reprehensible, the restriction of free speech, because that's what we're talking about,' Ms Geller said.

While event attendees were boycotting the Hyatt, a few dozen residents of Sugar Land, Texas, which is right outside of Houston, boycotted the event, calling it 'hate speech'.

Obama’s Mystery Links to Qaddafi Uncovered

Excerpt:

But Gadhafi has been tied to Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s spiritual adviser for more than 23 years.

The Libyan dictator also has financed and strongly supported the Nation of Islam and its leader, Louis Farrakhan. Obama has ties to Farrakhan and his controversial group.

I live less than a mile from that hotel and found out about this last night. I damned near went over there in person. One of the people causing trouble is a Muslim woman who was on our home owner’s association board and ran for city council under the guise of a Republican. She lost thank God. She dresses as a westerner but has ties to certain unsavory Muslim groups and imams. I’ve sent the links around to everyone I can think of and emailed 7 of the communications staff at the Hyatt. Sugar Land used to be a nice “non diverse” place but has turned into a third world thanks to unlimited legal immigration, so much so that it’s referred to as Little India or Little Pakistan. I urge everyone to contact Hyatt and tell them that as a freedom loving American, you will never patronize their establishments again.

I am for criticism of Islam and Islamic extremism and terrorism, but Geller is frankly a loony tune.

This is a woman who defended and continues to defend former Serbian president Slobodan Miloševic, denied and denies the existence of Serbian concentration camps in the 1990s, and supports the knuckle dragging English Defence League.

‘Geller also published an article defending Radovan Karadžic, indicted for genocide and other war crimes against Bosnian Muslims and Croats during the Siege of Sarajevo and Srebrenica Massacre; the article argued that the Muslims were not murdered but committed suicide to embarrass their enemies.[29]’

‘Controversial postings on Atlas Shrugs have included a number of false claims,[52][53] including that Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan (who is Jewish) supports Nazi ideology (accompanied by a mock-up photograph of her in a Nazi uniform),[1][54] a video suggesting that Muslims have sex with goats, a doctored photo showing President Obama urinating on an American flag[12] and false claims that Obama’s mother was involved in pornography and that Obama “was involved with a crack whore in his youth”.[55][56]’

Geller is serious loonytunes.

She’s gone after the Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) for their ‘ties to Islamic terror’. She also attacked Rick Perry for ‘being secretly pro-Shariah’.

And if I remember correctly, she also believes Obama is Malcolm X’s b*stard son.

Why? Because then there would be a lot of freepers with one more thing to rally behind.

Paranoia often can accompany one’s being a target of the left.I agree with you.But she is a canary in a cage.If Bernadette Dorn and Bill Ayers have free speech rights, so does Geller.

I see no harm in her speaking at the Hyatt, which has sided with the Islamofascists as an organization.She does have exactly the right basic approach to stopping the conquest of the West by creeping sharia, and its political fingers which now invest various parts of our military and Obama’s administration.Two of Obama’s advisors are members of the Muslim Brotherhood, the fascist organization which trucked with Hitler and which now binds the international sharia movement across the globe.

Geller is correct in her stand, even if she is improperly paranoid in her manifestation.

They should have pulled Geller and told the Hotel they would be bringing in someone from Egypt to speak on Islam.

Then invite Nani Darwish(probably got the spelling wrong) to take her place.

Watch the libbies heads EXPLODE!

I did not know that Pamela Geller denied the existence of Serbian concentration camps in the 1990’s, but I did find this article:

http://www.fpp.co.uk/online/98/12/SerbKZs.html

Perhaps that is why she raised question about it?

I do believe Pamela Geller has very well documented information about Islamic Terrorism, the actions of Terrorists prior 9/11 and since, and their goals.

Perhaps since you are from the United Kingdom, you might not be aware that using “Wikipedia” as a source is far from reliable.

Since I have found your previous posts lacking in real verification, I really can not consider this latest post of yours with any seriousness.

I do my best to always seek the truth, so please provide links from reputable sources to back up your comments concerning Pamela Geller. Thanks!

Dont patronise me, I am not that stupid and you arent that clever. No, wiki isnt the best link, but perhaps, oh I dont know, try following the links at the bottom of the wiki page, which take you to the actual articles which prove my assertion.

And the World Wide Web was the invention of a British man. Perhaps since you are from the United States, you might be aware of that well known fact.

My previous posts?.

On this thread or in general?.

Because if its the latter, you are talking utter crap. I ALWAYS post links to prove my facts or to prove a historical point in a thread. As do the other British freepers like mitch86, vanders9, IrishConservative. Many people here may not agree with me, but I back up what I say.
