Here is a good story on the remarks by Pamela Geller at our AFDI Free Speech Rally in Garland, Texas, yesterday. This video has better sound than the one I posted earlier. “Pamela Geller: Muslims Trying to Restrict Free Speech in Texas,” by Bob Price, Breitbart Texas, January 18, 2015:
GARLAND, Texas — Pamela Geller told a crowd of nearly one thousand protestors that “we’re living in an age where evil is good, and good is evil.” Her remarks came during a free speech rally staged to protest the “Follow the Prophet” assembly underway in a Garland Independent School District convention center.
She cautioned the audience to be careful with the mainstream media covering the event and the protest. “This is theater,” Geller said, “and the media is the director. They’re coming here to film a narrative. They’re coming here to make you look bad.”
Geller encouraged the group to speak their mind but to do so in a way that brought credit to the movement. “Never give them what they’re looking for,” she explained. “They want you to say something wrong. They want you to have a bad sign. Because that becomes the front page.”
She instructed the crowd on how to best define their role. “You have a role here,” she stated. “Your role is an educator. Your message is beautiful. So please, be beautiful. Each of you are beautiful. Act beautiful and be righteous.”
“Make the cause proud,” Geller challenged the group.
Geller closed by telling the crowd that they are soldiers in the battle for America. She reminded them that each of them should be their own media organization and encouraged them to use their Facebook and Twitter accounts.
She closed by leading the group in a chorus of “God Bless America.”
Before her speech, Geller spoke with Breitbart Texas about the day’s events in Garland. “I am overwhelmed by the turnout,” Geller exclaimed. “There are thousands of people here standing in defense of free speech.”
She explained that the Muslim leadership chose to have a conference here in Garland. She said they are trying to impose restrictions on free speech like they are doing in Paris. “Thousands of Americans said ‘no way!’”
“The media can smear us and the President can stand with them,” Geller said. “We the people are not having it. If there is any proof of that, it’s today. We dwarfed them.”
Salah says
Thanks, Pamela.
Indeed, al-Sisi has done what Obama does not dare to do: calling for a religious revolution.
It’s a small step, but it’s the first positive one. A true revolution of Islam will eventually lead to the total collapse of it.
One step at a time, Islam *is* falling apart. And it’s falling from within.

I’m sorry Salah but while it’s ‘falling apart’ in Egypt, the rest of the world shouldn’t have to sit and wait for this to happen and leave themselves in an indefensible position. Asking us to repeatedly respect Muslims is offensive to my sensibilities. My countrymen have dealt with Muslims enough. There is no mucking around on this issue. They either do things our way, or they can leave! It’s that simple. And that includes the supposed nominal Muslims who don’t have the will, nor the balls to stop self-identifying with a hideous death cult while non-Muslims put their life at risk to try to expose Islam.
Ben Shapiro: The MYTH of the Tiny Radical Muslim Minority
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7TAAw3oQvg
A word to rioting Muslims, courtesy of Pat Condell:
“We can’t afford anymore tolerance and respect- we’ve been sucked dry.”
“When Muslims start showing the same level of outrage about things which are genuinely offensive, like the thousands of women and girls who are murdered, and mutilated and raped every year in their countries then we might stake them a bit more seriously.”
“There was a time when Islam was given the benefit of the doubt by many people in the west. Now we think it’s poison and we wish we’d never heard of it, because 20 years of baseless grievance mongering and knee-jerk offense have shown us this religion for what it it really is; and now we don’t like it, we don’t trust it, and we are never going to respect it…. And we don’t care how Muslims feel about that.”
Salah says
@ Jen
“They either do things our way, or they can leave! It’s that simple.”
I couldn’t agree more, the problem is, it’s not that simple, there are too many of them.
Of course they MUST do things our way, this is non negotiable. Those who will, are more than welcome. Those who won’t, must leave.
This is common sense and has always been my position.
Some of us say that ALL Muslims must go. I say that Muslims who do things our way are more than welcome.
zaba says
islam cannot be changed or reformed: such is the nature of the ideology.
muzims are free to choose an actual religion, or none.
islam must go!
Jen says
Yes but Salah, the problem is that you can’t trust Muslims who claim to have left Islam. As the division between non-Muslims and Muslims becomes sharper over time (and it will, because it’s unrealistic to expect that non-Muslims won’t be wary of Muslims when they know what their cult is about); many Muslims will lie and claim they’ve left Islam; while continuing to be Muslims and be sympathetic to the “radical” types anyway. They already do this in other countries! It won’t stop the continual attacks because it is very hard to prevent the smaller-scale attacks which can still kill dozens or even hundreds at a time. It’s not particularly hard to make a bomb and it’s even easier today with the instructions on the internet. It will run every country into the ground and destroy the tourism industry, among other things. Once your area gets ‘black-listed’ by another government, you will lose a lot of tourists and business investors who don’t want to deal with a problem riddled area. The surroundings begin to become dilapidated in the process. I’m more inclined to believe that a Muslim who leaves Islam, when not actually compelled by anyone to do so; is truthful. But once the pressure is put on the entire Muslim population in western countries, the likelihood is that many will simply lie. It is the presence of Muslims in the first place which is the danger. To allow Muslims to remain will put every non-Muslim in an indefensible position. Islam and Muslims are already known troublemakers in other countries and it doesn’t seem to prevent them from continuing to behave this way. They care about the opinions of other Muslims; not non-Muslims first and foremost. In the end, few people will want to take the risk of hiring a Muslim person so they will end up jobless. And if their benefits are cut, they will become violent. They already have a leaning towards violence within their culture. This is how you end up with criminal gangs which are semi-Islamic, semi-regular-gang which extorts money from non-Muslims by threatening them. Then they switch to criminal acts for the sake of allah; vacillating between being an Islamic group with allah-driven goals, and a criminal organisation that just needs money to sustain their lifestyle.

Jen:
Are you saying we can’t trust Nabeel Qureshi, a muslim convert to Christianity, author of the book “Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus”, who was arrested in Dearborn for evangelizing to muslims?
Jen says
Oh geez Angemon. That doesn’t prove anything. Even you must know this. You can’t take an example of a stand-out character and present that as if that’s a case. If you want to, then be my guest; providing it’s not in my country, because I won’t be advocating for it anyway. How many Muslims are like that? Or people for that matter? Most people in life aren’t particularly brave or extraordinary. You only need a set of eyes to see that.
To see evidence of that; how many non-Muslims in your country actually attempt to do productive counter-jihad work, other than writing comments on counter-jihad blogs? There are millions of people in your country and yet it seems there has only been a small handful of people actually trying to do something about this because there are still so many clueless people out there. It wouldn’t have been like this, had people done more; rather than relying on only a few people such as Robert, Pam, Bonni etc. A donation doesn’t replace action on an individuals’ behalf. These people are rarities. In the same way as certain Muslims are rarities. Expecting other countries to babysit Muslims until they come to their senses is hardly a safe way to deal with this problem, unless you don’t mind people continuing to get raped and killed along the way. Personally, I’m not a person who sees this as worth the risk and I’m not in the business of wanting to thoroughly debate it either.
For people who want a straight-forward approach to counter-jihad, visit Bonni’s blog at http://www.barenakedislam.com/ Some of the stories covered on here are similar to other blogs, but she also covers issues regarding rape and other events which are suspected terrorist attacks. The comments section also has a nice layout and allows links to videos to show up as the actual video itself, so you can post eye-catching notices there.

You said:
“ you can’t trust Muslims who claim to have left Islam.”
I gave you the specific case of a muslim who claims to have left islam. Can we trust Nabeel Qureshi or is he an islamic mole engaged in high level taqiyya?
“To see evidence of that; how many non-Muslims in your country actually attempt to do productive counter-jihad work, other than writing comments on counter-jihad blogs? There are millions of people in your country”
What’s my country?

THANKS MUCHLY, JEN, FOR MENTIONING PAT CONDELL. ! ! ! !
FOR THOSE JW COMMENTERS AND READERS HERE WHO ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH HIM, ******* LOOK UP HIS MANY VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE OR ELSEWHERE ********
AND TELL YOUR CIRCLE OF FAMILY AND FRIENDS, PLEASE.
SPREAD THE WORD REGARDING THE “BEST OF THE BEST” COUNTER JIHAD PEOPLE — AND CONDELL IS RIGHT UP THERE AT THE VERY TOP.
Jen says
Yes, Pat is great.
pumbar says
Don’t forget Douglas Murray too.
Melissa Farmer says
Angemon…a Muslim who says they have converted to Christianity and says Jesus is Lord, would never be able to utter those words out if their mouth if they truly hadn’t converted. I know here in America where we are truly free to practice any religion we here people make that claim and are liars, but I don’t believe a Muslim practicing Islam, would/could make that statement, even if they were trying to fool us infidels. Just my opinion.
James Key says
Godspeed Pamela, you are doing great things in the fight against Islam.
Greyhound Fancier says
Too spooky, the timing of Pamela’s website being down right before the rally. We may never learn if those two events are linked.
Jen says
They’re linked.
AnneM says
God Bless Pamela, Robert, and all who took part in the protest down in TX yesterday!
Neil Jennison says
Yes. God Bless you both, Pamela and Robert.
I fear for our civilisation, someone has to speak the truth.
katnis says
Wow! Pamela Gellar is an inspiring powerhouse! Keep it up, Pamela. Hope to see more of you in the future. Too many good tidbits to call out. Here are a few more.
“Truth is hate speech. Truth is a revolutionary act.”
“I don’t care if you worship a stone. Just don’t stone me with it.”
“Stand tall. Your role is educator.”
“There were things about Charlie Hebdo that I didn’t like. I didn’t like the anti-Christian stuff. I didn’t like the anti-Jewish stuff. And I didn’t kill anyone.”
Je suis America!
Arjuna Krishna-Das says
Thanks to everyone to stood up for freedom at the Texas demo!
James Patterson says
Why is the Muslim assembly allowed in a school building? Where is the ACLU, the freedom-from-religion idiots, and other Lefty dumb asses, about separation of church and state? Oh, I get it now… separation of church and state, does NOT mean mosque and state.
Ren says
Wow, that is called determination to protecting free speech… bravo Pamela, 100% with you !
Canto28 says
Things are crazy and too bad people don’t see it. I mean the Muslim event is called the “Stand Up For The Prophet” rally right after the Hebdo sharia executions. Stand up for Muhammad who himself had even poets executed for criticizing him? Muhammad, the inspiration for the Paris executions, is their hero! And they’re celebrating him in Texas. Crazy.
Angemon says
Splendidly put, Mrs. G. 🙂
Brian Hoff says
Rhe Stand up for the Prophet have nothing to do with taken away anybody free speech at all some of our sunday school treachers went to the event. We are going to treach our youth on how to Stand Up for the Prophit without beheading anybody and also recpecting free speech of other.
Angemon says
Hey numb-nut, if you want to stop people from criticizing muhammad then you’re trying to take away free speech. Maybe that crucial detail escaped you?
zaba says
We are going to treach our youth …….beheading anybody………
Yeah.
We’ve been noticing that for a while now.
pumbar says
Not sure about freedom of speech; reading that load of crap you posted cost me my sanity.
duh_swami says
Defender Brian…You mean you are going to treach your youth to disobey Allah and the Prophets sunnah? That’s pretty bold of you…If you die today, are you going to tell Allah about it?
Martin Vink says
We need to mobilise people. Let us hold a referendum on sharia. Enshrine in every constitution in ever state that sharia will is not to be referred to by any judge as a consideration for a Court decision. Let us see who is on our side . . . State by State.
