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.”

No state; no city... kisses the derriere of Muslims as much as Boston does. The 9/11 terrorists flew to their successful military deaths from Boston’s Logan airport. The former mayor of Boston, the late Thomas Menino, violated the establishment religion clause in the Bill of Rights by giving the black Muslims a sweetheart deal to build their mega Mosque in Boston. All this appeasement and unknowing logistical help did not stop Muslims from bombing the Boston Marathon. What provoked the Muslims to do this? An incomplete massacre at Beslan? Not enough logistical help with the 9/11 terrorist attack? This provocation stuff is so ridiculous.
I remember an old cartoon in PLAYBOY about 48 years ago. Two cops are beating a Hippie who cursed them.
A young man and girl are passing by and he very quietly says to the girl...”I wish I had said that!”
No doubt there are thousands of mohammedans in the USA who are quietly saying...”I wish I had done that!”
True. But free speech is protected by the Constitution, responsible or not.
What fine line? Is this another Muslim Backlash Fairy Tale?
Don’t go out and try to be the next Domestic Jihadist and everything is cool.
Geller was simply pointing out we have a problem.
These two nut-job Islamic followers proved her right.
What’s more, at least one FBI person has stated there are so many threat level conversations between Islamic adherents, that they ignore most of them.
Can someone please point out the error in Geller’s logic?
Thought not...
A lot of folks should be thanking Geller. She helped set the record straight. There’s no doubt about this issue any longer.
The more articles I read about the followers of Islam having to follow a thin line now, the more I realize they weren’t following the laws of our nation prior to this.
Most of us citizens were and are. Are we to take it that is unreasonable for us too?
Just askin’. Perhaps I’ve been stupid up until now.
I hope you have a lot of spare time to wait.
The lib/commies at the New York Times believe the enemy of my enemy is my friend. A concept that doesn't work between Muslims and the infidel. The clowns at Fox News are cowards and opportunists so that is why they sound pretty much as the NYT sounds.
featuring speakers known for vitriol against Islam
So now truth about Islam is portrayed by The Ministry of Propaganda as vitriol against Islam.
On the contrary, I think the memo DID go out - to all the local mosques - to not attend because there was going to be an 'incident'. In the months leading up to this, I believe, a number of muslim groups were planning to protest.
That's telling to me.
Everyone in Texas needs to lock and load.
““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.”
Like the old 60’s TV show “The Lineup,” where when they held a lineup their standard comment to those there to pick the crook were told: “Pay no attention to their comments as they often lie!” Only with the Mooslims, they ALWAYS lie!
I Love It!
Our country would be much better off without a Muslim community...flights leave daily, O molesters of little girls and farm animals.
Americans all know where the media stands, thanks to Pamela Geller.
Sane people are not baited by cartoons.
“I wish that as a nation there were more and more of our leaders that had the same kind of courage that this woman [Pam Geller] has,” said Lt. Gen. Boykin (ret.), who is the executive vice president of the Family Research Council (FRC). “[S]he’s a very brave woman and I think that what she did was upholding and standing for our First Amendment rights. And I don’t think she went too far at all.”
The American “Dhimmi” media, cowed by Islamic violence, has accepted total submission to the mandates of the Islamic terrorists.
Pamela Geller, Gert Wilders, and Bosch Fawstin (the winner of the contest) are real heroes that have not accepted to be intimidated by Islamic terrorists. It is denigrating for the American media to see their pundits attacking the freedom of expression of those opposed to the Islamization of U.S.
On January 17,2015 and in the same public school center, there was a “Stand with the Prophet” rally by Muslims, a provocative pro-Shariah law event, by supporters of Al-Qaida and Isis organized by one of the terrorists implicated in the bombing of the garage of the NY World Trade Center in 1993.
I wonder if those who try to blame the organizers of the “First Annual Muhammad Art Exhibit and Contest,” for the Muslim terrorist attack would have justified if a patriotic American had irrupted in the Muslim rally on January and made a massacre of Islamic terrorists. After all, Americans are profoundly offended by their provocation and the abuse of our freedoms by those who made the Muslim rally in support of the savages that decapitate, crucify and burned Christians alive.
The “Dhimmi” media, scared by Islamic violence, auto-censors itself and tries to justify the terrorist attack in Texas because the Mohamed cartoons contest offended the sensibility of Islamic terrorists.
On January 2015, radical Islamists desecrated the holy soil of Texas. Do not mess with Texas!!!

Iranian Commander: We Won’t Rest Until US is an Islamic Republic
Don’t allow Obama and the media fool us, radical Islam officially declared war against U.S. on 9/11/2001.
In Switzerland everybody is drafted and they keep their arms in home in case they need to defend their country. It is imperative that all American arm themselves, the jihadists are already in and can attack any time our churches, malls, theaters, slaughtering innocents men women and children as they are massacring Christians in Africa and the Middle East.
Predictably assinine MSM drivel.
They damn well better...Americans are proud of the Texans and this has stirred a revival of spirit!
I am. I weary, I must confess. My heart rends for The Followers of The Moon God. LEAVE THOSE MUSLIMS ALONE! PLEASE!!(am I dripping enough sarcasm?).
I think that's pretty much standard procedure in Texas anyway, isn't it?
