Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Pamela Geller: The strong-arming of a dhimmi Catholic diocese

Feb 6, 2013 9:51 am By Robert Spencer

In “The strong-arming of a dhimmi Catholic diocese” at WND today, Pamela Geller blasts the Boston Globe reporter who, I’m told, spearheaded the cancellation of my appearance at the Catholic Men’s Conference in Worcester, Massachusetts in March.

My heartfelt thanks to the people, now over 1,900, who have signed the petition asking Bishop Robert McManus of Worcester to allow me to speak after all.

Petition by iPetitions

Also, speaking of petitions, I laughed out loud (really, not just in Internet lingo) at this one: Robert Spencer should be made a Cardinal of the Catholic Church. If nominated, I will not run; if elected, I will not serve; but I appreciate the thought!

Those of us who still have the fortitude to cover jihad-related news are routinely marginalized, demonized and accused of inciting “Islamophobia” and or “anti-Muslim” backlash. Last week, under heavy pressure from a Boston Globe reporter and Islamic supremacist groups in the Boston area, the Roman Catholic diocese of Worcester, Mass., canceled a scheduled March 16 talk by my colleague Robert Spencer. It’s the latest salvo in the Islamic supremacist war on free speech.

Spencer says the Globe reporter instigated the whole thing: “I have been told that Lisa Wangsness herself, the Boston Globe reporter, exhorted people to call the diocese of Worcester and ask that my talk be canceled. She denies this, but I don’t know why my sources would invent such a story if it weren’t true. It’s extraordinarily irresponsible behavior from a “˜journalist,” of course, but journalistic integrity is pretty much a thing of the past these days, and virtually all mainstream media journalists are propagandists for causes rather than objective reporters, so I am not all that surprised.”

This is unconscionable. Which is more egregious: the diocese caving to the same pressure that Christians, Jews, Hindus and countless others suffer all over the world, or the Boston Globe strong-arming behind the scenes to get Robert Spencer canceled? When did the Boston Globe start taking lessons from Hamas-TV? (Don’t answer that.) The enemedia have morphed into a criminal syndicate. This is a national scandal, but the American people are completely in the dark, because the enemedia control the major flow of information. And the quislings on the right say nothing because they, too, have been cowed, which is why the right is in the dismal state it is in.

In what bizarro world is the moral high ground ceded to America’s most oppressive and subjugating influence — Islamic supremacists? Islamic supremacists, Shariah enforcers and stealth jihadists (all of the same piece) silence champions of freedom, whitewash an ideology that ethnically cleanses non-Muslims and secular Muslims from Muslim lands, subjugates women and incites the most vile Jew-hatred. One single ideology that is responsible for 1,400 years of abject human misery.

And those few brave ones who speak to the good are silenced and demonized. As soon as the cancellation of Spencer became public, Salon tool Alex Seitz-Wald published a self-congratulatory piece celebrating this victory in the war against free speech. Has anyone ever seen or heard Alex Seitz-Wald of Salon rail against, pummel and smear the devout jihadists who slaughter in the name of Islam? Has anyone ever heard him apply even the most remote standard of humanity to those committing holy war in the cause of Islam? Ever heard him denounce the Shariah that brutally subjugates women and non-Muslims? Me neither.

And yet from his airless chamber, he fashions himself morally superior. Do these self-important clowns ever catch a cold hard glimpse of themselves in a mirror? We ought to stage an intervention for these hapless, ego-mad scribblers. Alex Seitz-Wald took issue with Robert Spencer and me for defending ourselves against the onslaught of libel, misrepresentation of our ideas, smears and lies. It is wickedly funny. This spineless, gutless wonder whines about how mean we are, and even says that our meanness has made many of our critics too scared to confront us.

It’s hard to imagine that I have scared my critics into silence — you mean there would be even more daily attacks on my character, cred and body of work? But there are only 24 hours in the day….
