Pamela Geller: Dhimmi Officials Go Sharia-Compliant

Buses.jpg


In "Dhimmi Officials Go Sharia-Compliant" in the American Thinker today, Pamela Geller discusses the furious reaction to her pro-Israel and counter-jihad ads from cringing public officials in San Francisco and New York State:

The brouhaha over pro-Israel ads I placed on buses in San Francisco and counter-jihad ads I put in train stations in towns just north of New York City just keeps getting larger. Some people just can't stand it when others tell the truth.

On Friday, I received an e-mail from Peter Swiderski, mayor of the village of Hastings-on-Hudson, New York, saying: "I wanted to share with you what our Board of Trustees sent to the entire village tonight." What the mayor wanted to "share" was a statement about our billboard that states: "19,250 Islamic attacks since 9/11: It's not Islamophobia, it's Islamorealism."

"While the Board respects everyone's right to free speech," they wrote, "we categorically condemn the bigotry and innuendo expressed by this billboard message. To tar a faith and its followers because of the actions of a few is deplorable, hateful and morally repugnant." But actually, the Board is reading the idea that "all Muslims" support jihad terror attacks into my ad. That is nowhere in my message. They are the Islamophobes and racists, not I.

Do these politicians really believe that all Muslims support jihad? And if they believe it, why surrender so swiftly?

The Board asked residents of Hastings-on-Hudson to write to the New York City Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) expressing their "dismay" that our ads were not deemed "hate speech." The mayor and this Board of spineless wonders maintained their neutrality about the anti-Semitic ads that the MTA previously ran; they were silent about them. Notice how these clowns at one government entity have "complained" to another about private citizens exercising their constitutional rights.

I in turn wrote to Mayor Swiderski, asking him "why no such mailing went out concerning the vicious anti-Semitic ads. The anti-Israel ads were twice the buy (100 kiosks.) This speaks to a systemic, institutionalized anti-Semitism prevalent in your administration and among the Board. Care to comment?"

I did not, of course, hear back from Peter Swiderski.

Meanwhile, in an unprecedented move, the city of San Francisco is placing craven ads right next to every one of our pro-Israel ads on San Francisco Muni buses. Our ads say: "In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man. Support Israel. Defeat jihad." The city's disclaimers say: "Muni condemns statements that describe any group as savages."

Muni spokesperson Paul Rose said: "Obviously we think the ads in place right now are repulsive and they definitely cross the line." But, he added, "there's not a lot we can do in light of the First Amendment."

This is unprecedented in the history of outdoor advertising. This is the manifestation ofsharia in Western society. Any war on innocent civilians is savage. They are reading the idea that "all Muslims" or "all Arabs" want to destroy Israel into my ad. That is nowhere in my message. Here again, they are the Islamophobes and racists, not I....

Read it all.

Unfortunately, straw man arguments are always used by the Left because they incapable of debating against what was really said. It is easier for them to argue against what wasn't said!
You can claim that Islam is a dangerous ideology and provide facts to back it up, and the Left will claim that you have said that all Muslims are terrorists and they will insinuate that you are racist and are preaching hatred.
It's the same old story... It's tiresome and it's frustrating and goes back to that wise saying "never argue with a fool."
Unfortunately it's fools that we do have to argue with because there are a lot of them around and they will deliberately obstruct you, whether you like it or not.
Keep persisting and don't lose hope.

Oh these dhimmis have already decided to become slaves of Islam and Muslims!!

To tar a faith and its followers because of the actions of a few is deplorable, hateful and morally repugnant."

There it is...the tiny minority of misunderstanders and twisters of Islam...

Exactly how many is a 'few'? And why do they seem to be everywhere?...And why does not that description include all jihad killings everywhere, that are not even included in the 20,000+ number...Are they not repugnant? Or is complaining about atrocity repugnant? What is deplorable is the ignorance of these dhimmi's who are too stupid to know they are emboldening the perpetrators...

"While the Board respects everyone's right to free speech," they wrote, "we categorically condemn the bigotry and innuendo expressed by this billboard message. To tar a faith and its followers because of the actions of a few is deplorable, hateful and morally repugnant."

"Innuendo"? "Actions of a few"?


In Toronto on Saturday we saw the small group of jew-hating muslim savages hold their pro-Iran ( anti-gay) rally and bash israel as a cancer and aparteid state.
The Police threatened non-muslims that if they flew an israel flags they would be ARRESTED for inciting a riot by upsetting the muslim mob. One man with a dog was attacked by muslims for offending them and then arrested by the Police.

So basically , a mob of savages that endorse iran's murdering of 4000 homosexuals and iran's desire to wipe out the Joooooz gets Polcie protection. BUT, the peaceful counter-protest can't hold up a israeli flag because it offends muslims and will casue them to go Jihad.

Well folks, the Toronto Police just confirmed that muslims are predisposed to riots and jihad to the point that they are allowed to spew hate for jews on canadian spoil.

Terrorism works, so muslims don't have to.


BTW
These savages brought little children with them that carried hateful flags and placards that demonized the jews.
Not 1 arrest for child abuse .

check out the 3 videos at Blazing Cat Fur youtube site.

I warned people about the Police Board head being a pro-Shariah Muslim that has just allowed the Niqab and Hijab as part of the Police Uniform.
i bet youthat muslim Cops worked that day and sided with the jew-haters.

Imagine that the inhabitants of Oakland were firing several rockets per day across the bay, striking San Francisco. Might the San Franciscans be tempted to call the Oaklanders "savages"?


BTW

When a mob of tamil savages attack the Police and even used babies as human shields, they too didn't have 1 arrest for child-abuse , our gutless mayor( David Miller) feared calling in the CAS to take the kids away and have the parents charged for dargging them onto a major highway.


Pretty sad that out immgration standards are so low that savages and now embraced as model Citizens to emulated.

Here's a re-posting of my comment a few days ago on the Metro-North signs:

Ah, the mayor invokes the good old line about it being "just a tiny minority" of Moslems that commit terrorist acts.
Well o.k., he's probably right,
But just how "tiny" a minority? Well, since 9/11 there have been ~ 19,500 attacks; so there's 19,500. Then, many attacks involve more than one attacker -- 9/11 itself had 19, and the latest Mumbai attack, 10. Assuming 5 attackers in each incident, that's nearly 100,000. Then add planners, trainers, helpers, and various supporters -- very few attackers are lone wolves; someone makes the bomb for them, someone plans their attack, someone helps them reach the target, and in some cases someone detonates their bomb for them by remote control -- so figure, conservatively, another 2 aiders and abettors for each attack. Which brings us to ~ 300,000 total. With a world population of 1.4 billion Moslems, that's over 21 terrorists per 100,000. And while there have been Christian, Hindu, and Sikh terrorists, I doubt that their rates are even 1/50th that.
And of course, the 300,000 figure doesn't include the tens of thousands of imams, madrassa teachers, Moslem politicians and government officials, and Moslem media persons world-wide who preach and advocate violence against un-believers. It doesn't include the mobs -- hundreds, even thousands strong -- who attack police in India, or who attack Christian churches in Nigeria or Indonesia, or engage in rampages of arson and vandalism in France. Add in all of those, and we're talking many millions of violent attackers. That "tiny minority" starts to look less and less tiny.
Then that's not counting the various other less than savory practices of Moslems, like the "honor-killing" of thousands of wives and daughters every year, and the state-enforced executions of gays, apostates, rape victims, and "insulters of Islam". And all of these are endorsed by a great many -- dare I say the majority of -- Moslems.
Face it, Mr. Mayor, Islam enshrines violence and intimidation, and the majority of Moslems support that.

i was talking about this wife my PC ex-wife, she too said it was offensive and I told her:
if I put a sign up saying that the Nazis murdered 6 million jews, an I telling the truth? she siad that is different!!!!

So when a mentally retarded 11-year old Christian girl is arrested in Pakistan and charged with "desecrating a Koran", then politicians in that country claim that they are helpless in repealing such evil laws, because they are at the mercy of a MAJORITY who support those laws.

But then in SF and NYC, we're told by Muslim activists that Islam should not be "tarred by the actions of a few."

So who is the real Muslim majority then? Will the real Muslim Majority please stand up? It's a SHELL GAME!!

When Muslims want to be an intolerant majority against a poor minority girl, they do it without any conscience. Then when they want others to treat them tolerantly, they say they're not an intolerant majority, and that it's just a few bad apples who are being used to give the majority a bad rap.

IT'S A SHELL GAME!!

Beautifully put, mate.

ala sux

how big was the counter-demo?

Did they have a good turnout?

Can you give us some links from local Canadian news coverage of both demos (the Mohammedan hate-fest, and the counter-demo?)

So the mayor conflates "Islam" with "jihad".
Well, it's a start. He's learning.
Just has to change his attitude, that's all.

These dimwits' cacklings are proof that something or someone is cracking their resilient shells.

I agree.

The thing is to keep piling the pressure on.

When confronted by a public servant or politician telling me I should be more tolerant of Islam in my country I simply reply this way:

"You can not and will not MAKE ME SUBMIT to SHARIA. I will NOT SUBMIT to ISLAM and YOU CANNOT MAKE ME DO SO"

Stand back and watch their reaction. Priceless.

Lovely. Worth trying, especially in public.
The thing which usually quietens the Islam-loving people for me is when I tell them (they usually don't know) about the death-for-apostasy law in Islam. No matter how much they hate the West, etc, they can't really justify that one.

The city official sounds like he is quoting straight from the statement issued by CAIR. What a lazy coward!
