UPDATE: Islamic supremacist tool and hard-Left pseudo-journalist Bob Smietana has written me repeatedly this morning, insisting that he did not feed Hamas-linked CAIR his story beforehand. Suggesting otherwise is the fact that both Pamela Geller and I received the CAIR email and clicked on the Tennessean link and found it non-working, only to start working when the story went live later. But I’ll give Smietana the benefit of the doubt that he has never given to freedom fighters: maybe it was a computer glitch. What a magnificent coincidence that it would be a computer glitch suggesting that he was feeding CAIR info when he has been such a CAIR stooge in the past, but still — it’s possible!
———————————
I had been scheduled to appear in Nashville at the Preserving Freedom Conference on November 11, but the conference was canceled as the Hutton Hotel caved in to Islamic supremacist threats. A different event has been scheduled at a local church.
Yesterday the notoriously pro-jihad, anti-freedom “journalist” Bob Smietana of Nashville’s The Tennessean newspaper contacted me for comment, and then published two marginally accurate articles about the cancellation of the conference. Tellingly, Hamas-linked CAIR included his first article in their daily email before the link to it was even live — indicating how close Smietana is to the enemies of freedom. For some reason, both of his articles have now been taken down from The Tennessean’s website.
Smietana asked me if I was going to speak at the new conference; I answered: “Bob, I have been invited to speak at the new conference. At this time, my main concern is stopping the Leftist/Islamic supremacist campaign to demonize and marginalize our efforts on behalf of human rights. The Hutton Hotel canceled the Preserving Freedom Conference under pressure from enemies of human rights and the freedom of speech. I am determined to deny them final victory, and to continue to present my message in the public arena.”
And that is what is key here. I am happy to speak at churches and do so regularly; however, in this case a conference in a public space has been driven out of that space by jihadist intimidation and thuggery, and I am not going to acquiesce to that. Please continue to contact the Hutton Hotel and Amerimar Enterprises to voice, politely and courteously, your disapproval of their capitulation to the enemies of freedom.
Also, please boycott Amerimar hotels. Florida Family has sent out this press release:
Amerimar Enterprise hotel sides with Islamic extremists, cancels Preserving Freedom Conference designed to combat Sharia law.
Amerimar Enterprise has chosen to side with Islamic extremists who want the United States to be ruled by Sharia law over patriotic Americans who want to preserve freedom.
Amerimar Enterprise hotel cancels pro-American, pro-Family groups” Preserving Freedom Conference designed to combat Sharia law. Amerimar Enterprise sides with Islamic extremists.
Several national pro-America, pro-Family groups including Pamela Geller’s Atlas Shrugs (Stop Islamization of America), Matt Staver’s Liberty Counsel, Robert Spencer’s Jihad Watch and Sharia Awareness Action Network organized a national conference for November 11, 2011. The purpose of the conference is to educate leaders and citizens from across the country on what they can do to stop the advancement of Sharia law within the United States. The Preserving Freedom Conference organizers signed contracts with the Hutton Hotel for the two day event. Hutton Hotel is one of thirteen hotels operated by Amerimar Enterprise.
However, Islamic activists protested by placing extreme pressure on Hutton Hotel management officials to cancel the event. Hutton chose to side with these Islamic, Sharia for America advocates by cancelling the event long planned by many pro-American, pro-Family organizations. Matt Staver, Liberty Counsel President wrote a demand letter to Amerimar Enterprise. Click here to read the demand letter.
Shariafreeusa.org wrote: “This situation demonstrates more clearly than ever why this conference is required. It is required not only to educate American citizens, but to strategically plan ways that will prevent the implementation of Sharia Law in the United States. One segment of the Islamists” implementation strategy is to silence any critical analysis of Sharia Law. The breaking of our contract by Amerimar Enterprises is a poignant example of their strategy at work.”
Amerimar Enterprise has chosen to side with Islamic extremists who want the United States to be ruled by Sharia law over patriotic Americans who want to preserve freedom.
