Pamela Geller: Islamic supremacist CNN "journalist" Mona Eltahawy vandalizes subway ad

In "Muslim CNN 'journalist' vandalizes subway ad" at WND today, Pamela Geller discusses fascist savage Mona Eltahawy's Islamic supremacist war on the freedom of speech:

Islamic supremacist journalist Mona Eltahawy was arrested last Tuesday and charged with criminal mischief after spray painting a defender of freedom who caught her in the act of vandalizing one of the pro-Israel ads my organization, the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI), had placed in the New York subway stations.
AFDI’s ad reads: “In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man. Support Israel. Defeat jihad.” This again proves Islamic supremacist and leftist thugs are dedicated to shutting down free speech. Anti-Israel ads ran all over the country without a murmur of protest; but this pro-Israel ad was hardly up an hour before fascist thugs like Eltahawy went to work to deface it.

At 12:42 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 25, Eltahawy tweeted: “Meetings done; pink spray paint time. #ProudSavage #F–kHate.” Shortly thereafter, she was about to spray paint over AFDI’s pro-Israel ad in a subway station when longtime pro-freedom activist and blogger Pamela Hall stood between her and the ad. Eltahawy thereupon sprayed Hall with paint; the vandal was arrested and charged with criminal mischief.

This criminal behavior and fascism was immediately lauded in leftist circles. Eltahawy’s thuggish behavior is a telling indication of how relentlessly opposed the left and Islamic supremacists are to the freedom of speech, and how desperate they are to keep any pro-freedom, anti-jihad message from getting out.

Eltahawy’s behavior is all the more ironic in light of the fact that she was viciously sexually assaulted by “protesters” in Cairo’s Tahrir Square last year and subsequently wrote a searching piece about the misogyny that is inherent in Islamic law. But she was roundly attacked by her fellow Islamic supremacist writers for that article and made a full retreat. Now, in a classic case of Stockholm Syndrome, she is defending the same savages who brutally attacked her in Tahrir Square.

Eltahawy is carrying water for those who advocate a new genocide of the Jews and celebrate the murders of innocent civilians. She sprayed our ad because she objected to the word “savages” being used of Islamic jihadists who murder Israeli civilians and celebrate their murders by passing out candy. Eltahawy describes herself as a “liberal Muslim,” and everyone assumes that that means that she is worlds away from the Muslims who commit such savagery, and only “Islamophobes” would consider them to be in the same camp. But now Eltahawy has retained Jewicidal leftist lawyer Stanley Cohen, who represents the Hamas savages, as her attorney in the criminal case against her for destroying my ad.

Six degrees of separation? This is no degree of separation. Eltahawy hates that I called the jihadis “savages” and then retains the savages’ lawyer. Cohen says: “If I don’t support the politics of political clients, I don’t take the case.” So Eltahawy is a “liberal Muslim” who is outraged that I called jihadi “savages,” and she has a lawyer who supports jihad terror against innocent Israeli civilians, the bloody murder of the Fogel family, the mass murders of Israeli civilians in buses and restaurants, etc.

Cohen said in 2001, “If Osama bin Laden arrived in the United States today and asked me to represent him, sure I’d represent him.” Mona Eltahawy will have to do for now.

Read it all.

"...Eltahawy is carrying water for those who advocate a new genocide of the Jews and celebrate the murders of innocent civilians."

Sahih Muslim Book 41, Number 6981 - 6985 "... The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would KILL THEM"

I agree with Pamela Geller in each and every particular here, but I am wondering what has been heard about how Mona Eltahawy and those who approve of her actually think? Has their case been made?

I'm going to guess that it goes something like this: opposition to Israel is not "jihad", it is a political position the end and aim of which is national self-determination for Palestinians, a right which is being denied then at present. Military operations are justifiable in a national struggle - witness the fact that Israel used them - even when civilians suffer, as they certainly have at the hands of the Israelis.

Calling this "jihad" is an attempt to misprepresent the issue as primarily religious, and it is an attempt to misrepresent any armed struggle on the part of people whose religious heritage is Muslim as religious in nature. At the same time the use of the term "savage" is an attempt to identify an entire culture with that term, which is hardly a description of how most Muslims either think or behave, and is judgemental about that entire culture.

Is any of this true? Discuss.

I just came across this video posted today. Apparently, CNN does not operate for the sake of journalism, but for money and for spreading propaganda-

CNN wants journalists to be propagandaists, not watchdogs

I think you're a troll and so will only answer one of your bogus charges, the one that asserts that so-called Palestinian Arabs have been denied the right to self-determination. No they haven't.

As far back as 1947 with the UN partition plan of that year, Arabs in the region could have had their own state. The Jews accepted the UN partition plan and the Arabs didn't. Why? Because the Arab Muslim world wanted no Jewish state whatsoever. And so began the tragedy we are still in because the Muslim world wants it all and will give the Jews nothing. The vast majority of Israelis would gladly live side by side with a Palestinian state IF such a state would recognize Israel, be a democracy and live in peace with Israel. This hasn't happened and the fault for this lies entirely with the Arab Muslim world. And, I have no doubt here, you will not acknowledge that Israeli Arabs have far more freedoms than do Arabs in any Arab nation. Your turn, troll.

I'm sure someone knows of an attorney who would help Eltahawy's victim win a civil suit against mooning Mona.

The palestinians themselves call their violent attacks against Israel their 'Jihad'. When #Proudsavage Mona supporters don't object to that, why then are they upset with Pamela? She is only using their word.

The way Palestinian terrorists (pretending to be 'militants') attack Israel IS savage. They launch rockets at Israel and hope it hits anyone, even women or children. If it does they are as happy as if they killed an enemy soldier. The attack on the fogel family, who were not soldiers, WAS savage. Whenever these terrorists successfully kidnap a soldier, they torture him to death and relish their butchery. That IS savage.

If the 'peaceful' Muslims have a problem with these terrorists being described as savages then I think it is they themselves who are deceiving the west regarding their peacefulness.

Thank you Wellington and liberty.or.death. I think we're probably done now. I'm not a troll, I'm just very accustomed to being besieged by anti-Zionists and I am interested to hear answers from people more capable of giving them than I am.

At the same time I have to say that the commentary on Jihadwatch about things like Mona Eltahawy's vandalism can seem deficient in that they take little account of what the opposing view actually is. I repeat that I agree with Pamels Geller, but I think her case would be stronger if she reported more fully on what she is disagreeing with. Merely dismissing the Mona Eltahawys of this world, and all the massive support they get, as contemptible, makes for a puzzling, because incomplete, case.
