Tuesday night Fox News carried a barrage of criticism against free-speech heroine Pam Geller for her draw Mohammed contest. She was attacked by Greta van Susteren, Bill O’Reilly and Laura Ingraham, without being given a chance to be interviewed and defend herself. Megyn Kelly and Sean Hannity were the stand-up guys.
In response to my blog post Tuesday on Megyn Kelly calling out O’Reilly on why Geller is absolutely right, I received an email from a normally clear-headed conservative friend who asserted Geller was purposely provocative and it is wrong to insult anyone’s religion.
Here’s the key difference. Muslims can follow their own religious beliefs but they can’t force me to follow them. They believe it is wrong to draw Mohammed, Catholics think it is wrong to get divorced, Jews think it is wrong to eat pork. You are not insulting Judaism by eating pork, a Catholic by divorcing, or a Moslem by drawing Mohammed.
To claim that drawing Mohammed is an insult is a jihadi idea. It is not an American idea. It is applying their code to our behavior. Drawing Mohammed is entirely normal political speech. It is not a gratuitous insult, it is fighting the imposition of sharia law in America.
Pam Geller is the bravest woman in America at this moment.
She deserves to be given a podium so her voice can be heard by millions. That supposedly conservative journalists are attacking her instead signals their incapacity to counter jihad in America.
It is crucial for the survival of civilization that all of us speak out loudly and clearly about the many truly appalling and abominable aspects of Islam. Geller’s speakers were saying true things about Islam that are mislabeled insults because they are critical. Islam must be criticized.

Most decent people find it repulsive to mock any religion.
But if Islam is really more of a dangerous and violent ideology akin to Nazism and Communism than it is a legitimate religion, then not only is it OK to mock it, but it really needs to be thoroughly wiped out.
There are no conservatives who tell us not to criticize Islam.
Take note of those siding with islam against an American citizen, Pamela Geller; a watchman in the manner of Ezekiel 33.
Described as follows:
Piss Christ is a 1987 photograph by the American artist and photographer Andres Serrano. It depicts a small plastic crucifix submerged in a glass of the artist's urine. The piece was a winner of the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art's “Awards in the Visual Arts” competition,[1] which was sponsored in part by the National Endowment for the Arts, a United States Government agency that offers support and funding for artistic projects, without controlling content.
We were all told this was high art and we had to appreciate it not attack the um er ‘artiste’. Just imagine if there was a Piss Mo contest. Not only would the Mo's be in a huge agitation but all ‘respectable’ thinkers here would be saying how dreadful such a thing was.
So the moral is Christianity is an easy target for those who hate and despise the West for their own twisted reasons but Mo is off limits both because the Mo Men will try and kill you for ‘insulting the Prophet’ and the same people who hate the West and Christianity like Islam because it is directly opposed to what they hate. Libs are engaging in the ‘enemy of my enemy is my friend’ logic. although they will never publicly admit it.
There are no ‘conservative’ pundits mentioned.
Exactly!
precisely
Silence is consent. All these folks yakking about not being provocative apparently forget that the NAZIs used this tactic to keep people silent while they slaughtered Jews and Christians and any one else who didn’t agree with the regime.
Sharia is an evil thing and MUST be fought back against. Anyone who thinks that being ‘nice’ and ‘respectful’ don’t seem to understand that those sheeple will be the first killed
Moronica for Morons.
What did the ROTUS tell us about those who insult the “profit”?
[ Anyone here remember Andreas Serrano and ‘Piss Christ’ ]
Can you imagine the outrage from the MSM had two christian soldiers showed up to mow down the exhibit?
This would have fed the Hyenas inthe media for literal DECADES!
I will take it a step further and say that Islam needs to be eradicated from American life.
Oh the lefties have already gone to the tiller murder....even though no one was preaching that he should be murdered with a reward of everlasting life, and Geller wasnt killing babies.
Islam does not deserve the respect accorded to Judaism or Christianity, nor the courtesy accorded to Buddhism or Hinduism.
Islam is a
False religion started by a
False prophet demanding worship of a
False god praised in a
False holy book exhorting its adherents with the
False dogma that they must kill those who do not accept it nor the
False body of law requiring submission & conquest.
Pamela Geller is at war with fascism disguised as religion. She has done nothing wrong. Those who condemn her are Shariah advocates, bottom line.
Answer: Because the American people are sick.
Comment: A people totally devoted to a philosophy of eating, drinking, drugging, copulating, evacuating the bowels and snoring have no time for resisting enemies foreign or domestic.
Yes Islam is not a religion. It is an ideology with religious overtones. We all need to keep repeating the truth. We absolutely cannot allow this monstrosity to take root here.
Let’s not forget this one. How many times did Larry Flint antagonize everyone?

Greta van Susteren, Bill O’Reilly and Laura Ingraham are not conservatives, so I don’t give a flying flip what they have to say about anything.
Pam Gellar has shown-up the major media and the pResident, who no doubt hope the fatwa against her is successful.
