September 16, 2013 **** Islamist Showdown**** *By* *Pamela Geller* <http://www.americanthinker.com/pamela_geller/>****
I am scheduled to speak in Markham, Ontario along with my colleague Robert Spencer Tuesday evening. Apparently the opposition couldn't get the police to do their dirty work <http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/canada-sharia-police-enforcement/page/2/>this time, as they did last spring, when members of the York Regional Police force strong-armed a rabbi into canceling my scheduled talk at his synagogue. That talk went on as scheduled in a different venue, and now that those cops are under investigation<http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2013/08/geller-launches-complaint-against-york-police-chief-and-officer.html>, Muslim Brotherhood proxies are trying to get Spencer and me banned from Canada now.**** In connection with my earlier police-induced cancellation, Mark Steyn pointed out that Canadian officials have turned a blind eye to real preachers of hate<http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/347165/excluded-inclusion-cops>: "Pamela Geller, tireless campaigner against Islamic imperialism (and a lady I had the honor of being introduced by at CPAC a few years back), was scheduled to give a speech at a Toronto synagogue on May 13. Miss Geller is not a convicted terrorist or terrorism-supporter or someone who argues for the execution of all homosexuals. If she were, she could speak at any Canadian venue with impunity."**** As always, the media eagerly carries water for Islamic supremacists and Sharia thugs. Nevertheless, every time it happens, it's astounding. The Huffington Post <http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2013/09/13/pamela-geller-robert-spencer-toronto-islam_n_3921013.html>carried a Canadian Press story about this "controversy" over the upcoming talk, with the headline "Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer Toronto Talk Flagged By Canadian Muslim Leaders." The story said: "The National Council of Canadian Muslims worries Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer will spread 'hate and misinformation' about the Islamic faith when they speak at a Toronto-area hotel Tuesday evening, the group's executive director said."**** Our talk has been "flagged by Canadian Muslim leaders" who are worried that we will spread "hate and misinformation." "Canadian Muslim leaders"? "Hate and misinformation?" Actually, the group that is complaining, the National Council of Canadian Muslims, was up until recently known as CAIR-Canada. It is still the Canadian branch of the Hamas-tied Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). The NCCN is not "Canadian Muslim leaders," it's Hamas-CAIR, a Muslim Brotherhood front group, named an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding trial. **** And even if they were legitimate "Muslim leaders," what moral authority does that give them? Osama bin Laden was a Muslim leader, as was Anwar al-Awlaki, and as are Sheik Yusuf al-Qaradawi, Ayman al-Zawahiri, Mohamed Morsi, and Anjem Choudary. It is not Spencer and I, but "Muslim leaders" like these who are the ones who are really spreading hate. Their bigotry and racism is real, the human toll incalculable.**** Truth is now hate. And what misinformation exactly do I spread? I merely quote devout Muslims. Fighting for freedom, equality for all and individual rights is "hate and misinformation?" Only under the Sharia. But that's how far down the rabbit hole the media and the culture have crawled. **** Here's a video <http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2013/05/video-pamela-geller-in-canada-the-speech-york-region-police-banned.html>of my previous talk in Canada that these vicious thugs tried to shut down. Where's the hate? And they didn't just "flag" our talk: these brutes and thugs are attempting to destroy freedom of speech and impose the blasphemy laws under Islamic law. **** Why aren't these Muslim organizations denouncing the hundreds of jihadist groups that are waging holy war across the world? Why isn't this Muslim group that is so intent on keeping our message from reaching Canada taking on jihadists across the world? **** And why aren't I called for comment on stories like this, instead of their always being a completely one-sided presentation of the views of the enemies of freedom? Why isn't Robert Spencer given an opportunity to respond to the defamation and lies from these friends and allies of the Muslim Brotherhood groups that are waging jihad across the world? Why do these thugs have such unfettered access to the press, while those who are defending freedom never can get a fair hearing? **** The outrageous media double standard has to end. Free people must not stand idly by while our most basic, fundamental freedoms are silently seized and destroyed.**** *Pamela Geller is the President of the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI), publisher of **AtlasShrugs.com *<http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/> *and author of** **The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration's War on America** *<http://www.amazon.com/Post-American-Presidency-Obama-Administrations-America/dp/B004J8HWWI/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1359320486&sr=1-1&keywords=post+american+presidency> *and** **Stop the Islamization of America: A Practical Guide to the Resistance*<http://superstore.wnd.com/books/Current-Affairs/Stop-the-Islamization-of-America-A-Practical-Guide-To-The-Resistance-Autographed-Hardcover> *. **Follow her on Twitter here* <https://twitter.com/Atlasshrugs>*.***** *Page Printed from: http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/../2013/09/islamist_showdown.html*at September 16, 2013 - 02:50:09 PM CDT **** __._,_.___ __,_._,___ -- -- Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
