“A blatantly revealing moment of radical media activism, otherwise known as ‘news coverage.'”
“Media jihad: Diet Coke vs. decapitation,” by Pamela Geller, WND, June 7, 2015:
Last week brought us a blatantly revealing moment of radical media activism, otherwise known today as “news coverage.”
Two news stories. In one, an American was targeted for beheading by members of the American Muslim community because the target would not adhere to the blasphemy laws under the Shariah. I was the target, and this was the media coverage:
“Activist says Boston beheading plot targeted her; police express doubt”
“Who is anti-Islamic activist Pamela Geller?”
“Pamela Geller Calls Allegedly Being Targeted for Beheading by Terror Suspect ‘Chilling’”
The depraved media have tried to distract and obfuscate the real story here, which is that ISIS and its devout followers in America are targeting for death Americans on our home soil. I have been targeted for assassination twice in just four weeks. The headline Reuters ran, “Activist says Boston beheading plot targeted her; police express doubt,” is false and vicious.
Meanwhile, Associated Press ran the truth on Friday: “Police confirm Pamela Geller was initial target of Boston Muslims’ jihad terror plot.”
The other news story: A 31-year-old terror-tied Muslim woman went on social media and decried United Airlines for not giving her a can of Diet Coke in the way that she demanded: unopened. Under the hashtag #IslamophobiaIsReal, she wrote: “I am sitting on a United Airlines flight in the air 30,000ft above and I am in tears of humiliation from discrimination. The flight attendant asked me what I would like to drink and I requested a can of diet coke. She brought me a can that was open so I requested an unopened can due to hygienic reasons.”
A fellow passenger claimed that Diet Coke Muslim Tahera Ahmad was a rude liar. Other passengers fear coming forward for fear of being publicly smeared as Islamophobic! Bigoted! Racist! – even though Islam is not a race.
Heads exploded in an Islamophobia-fueled frenzy in newsrooms everywhere.
The New York Times covered only one of these two stories. Guess which one. In fact, it ran three stories about this Muslima supremacist’s whining complaint (since proven false) that the reason she could only get a full cup of Diet Coke and not an unopened can was because of Islamofauxbia. While it lavished coverage upon the Diet Coke jihad, the New York Times did not cover the beheading plot at all.
This became national and international news – the media were outraged at United Airlines. The National Catholic Register declared: “Fight Islamophobia in America.”
“Muslim Woman Says She Faced Discrimination on United-Linked Flight” – New York Times
“Islamophobia in the skies: United Airlines bans accused worker” – The Guardian, London
“United fires attendant who told Muslim Tahera Ahmad she couldn’t have Diet Coke” – Daily Mail, London
“United Airlines apologizes to Northwestern chaplain …” – Chicago Tribune
“‘There is no middle ground in racism:’ On Tahera Ahmad” – Fusion
Islam is not a race.
“Muslim chaplain: Derogatory remarks made on United flight” – Boston Herald
“Don’t ask for a soda can on United Airlines if you are a Muslim” – The Express Tribune (Pakistan)
Meanwhile, who is Tahera Ahmad? In late December, she attended the MAS-ICNA, or Muslim American Society-Islamic Circle of North America, conference, which featured prominent Muslim leaders with links to the Muslim Brotherhood.
One month earlier, Ahmad posted a picture to Facebook of her with Suhaib Webb, who was then Imam of the Islamic Society of Boston, where Boston Marathon jihadis Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev and many other jihadis worshiped. Webb was once a friend of Anwar al-Awlaki.
Ahmad is also “well-known” to Yasir Qadhi, a Muslim cleric who once called for jihad against non-Muslims. She was part of a Muslim Public Affairs Council, or MPAC, delegation to the Obama White House; MPAC was founded by Muslim Brotherhood members. She has recited the Quran at an Islamic Society of North America convention; ISNA is yet another Muslim Brotherhood-linked group.
United’s first statement, now erased from the web, said the flight attendant “attempted several times to accommodate Ms. Ahmad’s beverage request.” The flight attendant has been fired after the media-waged jihad against United.
I expect this from the media, but I will never fly United again.
And as for the enemedia, they are aligned with the jihad force, and their mission is to destroy the few who dare speak candidly about the jihad threat.

cs says
I am fed up of this sick people with this stupid attitude, they can really Fxck back to their countries or origin breed goats and camels, just leave us alone. what pain in the neck.
Lia Wissing says
So not a single one of us any longer flies United? Not before United apologises to their flight attendant, reinstates her 7 recompenses her for loss of earnings?
No Fear says
If criticism of Islam is “racist” then Islam must appeal to certain racial groups.
If Islam appeals to certain racial groups then it is, by definition, racist.
shosh7154 says
Islam in three words: hate, lies, murder
not a race, not radical, not a choice
William Lucas Harvey Jr. says
The 21st Century American News Medis IS sooo Radical, Activist AND “OWNED” by Islam, that they are Buying into the FALSE “Islamophobia” Argument.
“The word “Islamophobia” is a completely invented word, coined by the International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT). Islamophobia: An Oxymoron to Intimidate the Critics of Islam, AND the word “Islamophobia” exists solely to intimidate and suppress debate, AND the word “Islamophobiais a completely invented word, coined by the International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT)”.

How utterly sickening and *evil* this is.
Ms Geller is targeted by islamic **murderers**, for hosting a draw mohammed cartoon exhibition, and the enemedia either ignores it, or sneers, and attempts to blame *her* for ‘provoking’ these savages.
But this muslima skank *bitch* deliberately sets up this nonsense about an opened can of bloody coke, and the appalling media fuss about this non event as if it was something **life threatening.**
It makes me sick to my stomach with rage and frustration.
How I hope this evil, manipulative cow gets her just reward for her cynical and corrupt machinations. And muslims say they don’t understand why more and more people are coming to loathe and distrust them !
Angemon says
None of her pics are flattering, and not just because she seems to have a compulsion for splattering makeup. She’s ugly in the inside and that transpires to the outside.
mortimer says
She’s a hate-filled jihadist, a victim of the Islamic Stockholm syndrome. The rage of Islam is consuming her.
thelmalou says
Calling people ugly and equating it with evil is most often targeted for women, so I have to object a bit here. Ugly women are not bad people. She’s a bad person because she has behaved in an evil manner, I believe. Let’s leave ugly out of it. Eleanor Roosevelt and I would appreciate it.
Gart says
Well said.
somehistory says
Many, many times on this site, the evil showing in the faces of the male members of islam have been said to be ugly…inside and out. That’s the way it is, both male and female. I’m sorry if it offends you.
But these people are not ugly because of their features…large nose or no chin, etc….but because of the evil that they can’t hide.
A person’s feelings are reflected in their expression and her expressions are ugly. That younger Boston bomber with the foul and evil mind, although said to be *handsome* was and is ugly because his evil shows on his face and in his eyes.

i think so too. It’s amazing how someone who most people would not describe as ugly starts to look ugly when you can see their black soul.

I share your righteous anger, Mirren!
duh_swami says
The ‘news’ elite graduated with honors from the College of Word Trickery, or word magick. The purpose of word magick is to create a public opinion, matching their own. In terms of Islamorama they are doing a fine job.These people are better off if they just write and makes speeches. Every time they are in position to live debate, especially with Geller or Spencer, they fail and look like fools.
Kathy smith says
Article erroneously indicates an article attributed to the National Catholic Register, it is in fact the National Catholic Reporter. There is a huge difference between the two websites.
mortimer says
Protecting their exotic jihadist ‘pets’ is the priority of Leftarded journalists. The death threats are not news…Diet Coke is news…following the airline’s protocols is now ‘discrimination’?
They should have tossed this non-story as smelling like hot, steaming piles of taqiyya.
Ted Zaharchuk says
And the Flight Attendant was fired for this? I will never fly United again!
Shapleigh says
The moment that I read this story on The Daily Mail it was obvious that it was a shake down. Of course CAIR got right involved in it. Maybe before it’s too late we can get a Justice Department to go after CAIR under RICO laws. Not the current one however
somehistory says
“Fight Islamophobia ”
Yes…fight it by showing it is all a made up bunch of stuff…whatever the devout muslim wishes it to be…to make non-muslims ashamed/afraid of rejecting the beast of islam and refusing to bow to its image.
Didn’t h. clinton say Americans could be *shamed* into accepting the rules of sharia? This made-up concept and contrived word is just that, made for the purpose of shaming into silence all who don’t worship their false god, false so-called prophet and bend to the will of the imams, mullahs, and trouble-making women who wear the scarf of slavedom, and fear the attorneys of cair because they are miserable in their worship of satan and misery wishes…(these people don”t know the meaning of or how to love)…company
“Fight Islamophobia ” wherever, whenever and however, we can. To give in and accept it is to accept the beast of islam, its image and its unseen master, satan, as ruler over us.
Most have already given in and accepted the will of the beast over their lives. That is why the *news* covered this woman’s false charge as though it were the most important story of the decade and a woman was fired. That is why the other woman won her made-up case against the clothing store. That is why the persecution and slaughter of Christians everywhere is not *news* to them. That is why they blame Ms. Geller and Mr. Spencer for the threats against their very lives, just for speaking their minds.
(Revelation 13)
Keith says
Is it true that h. clinton said that Americans could be shamed into accepting the sharia. If so I personally would consider that treasonous.
I am not American but would hope that if it is true that she said that the American people don’t elect her.
somehistory says
She met, in 2011 if I recall the year correctly, with the OIC and discussed the Istanbul Process. This was a plan to make it possible to silence those who spoke about religion, and muslims don’t regard any faith but islam as a legitimate religion, in a negative way. She told them that in the U.S., the Constitution has the Freedom of Speech that can’t just be put aside, but there is the *old-fashioned shaming* they could use in order to stop citizens of America from saying things muslims don’t want us to say.
Since muslims don’t accept any other faith as a legitimate religion, their Istanbul Process would not apply to them speaking of their hatred of Christians and Jews and the name-calling they engage in.
If more people knew she said it…and it is on the internet for anyone to find…and understood what it means, they might not vote for her.
Beth says
The way I see it…
That muslim woman made a fool out of the NYTs – which is nothing new for that rag. They defended a spoiled brat – and this, we know, because of the testimony given by an eye-witness and the reactions of the other passengers that the muslim woman acted exactly just like that – a spoiled brat. This is the personality of Islam. Throw a vicious violent temper tantrum when things don’t go your way. There is no Mercy in such a spirit.
But the wisdom of the tree being known by its fruit is lost on the fools at the NYTs. And in due time – they will reap what they have been defending, and they will be the ones who will be most surprised by it – because they refuse to see what’s coming. By their own perceived wisdom, – they are bringing the worst of nightmares upon themselves. They’ll see it, eventually. But, by then it will be too late. And their regrets will be too much for most of them to handle seeing what cowards they are in easier times as at present.
The Lord says “Vengeance belongeth unto Me”.
1Co 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
As I ponder all of this, – I am at a loss for words when I consider what’s in store for those who think they know better than the ones who have done the homework required and who are trying to warn them. I shudder at the thought of the Lord’s vengeance. ” in their own craftiness” – He will give them everything that they have been fighting for – and more. Defending a spoiled brat that is up to no good is going to bring them destruction to the likes they can’t even imagine – because they have never taken the time to read and ponder for themselves, – the teachings of the booklet that is called “The Koran”.
Just like the spoiled brat that they defended – they are going to have their way – no matter what.
Let them. This may very well be the Vengeance of the Lord that He spoke of so long ago.
somehistory says
Very true. Spoiled rat, making trouble, but at the same time, bringing trouble upon their own head.
The Doctor says
This is great! If Muslims boycott United, then the rest of us will know which airline will be safest!
Know Thy Enemy says
“I will never fly United again.”
United’s response to the Muslimah’s tantrum is nothing short of cowardice, not to mention they did wrong to the flight attendant. However, given the social climate, any airline would have done the same, and very likely will do it again. Hence, I don’t see a point in singling out United Airlines for wrongdoing.
All the airline workers all over North America will now hesitate to report, or challenge, suspicious activity on the part of Muslims, for fear of penalties from their employers. This is not dissimilar to the UK police and social workers ignoring exploitation of teen girls for fear that they will be branded racists.
What this means is that it is now not safe to fly any airline in the US. But then, what practical alternative is there!
Rob says
This is like the NYT (not sure about this – but a leftie US rag just the same) ran something along the lines ‘Israel cuts power to Gaza’.
Gaza owes billions in unpaid power bills to the Israel electric utility and the power ‘cut’ was a brief flicking of the ‘off’ switch to a limited area.
As a commentator said ‘The paper would never run anything noting Israel’s forbearance in the face of what in any other country would be theft’ ‘Only when Israel can be positioned as the perp, does anything get printed’.
Joseph says
Has anyone gotten a response to their E-mails to United Air, that they will never use their service again and why? ?
I have not. I don’t think they care.
jewdog says
The reason Diet Coke is more important than decapitation is that the alleged Coke incident falls into the category of discrimination, or racism, which is the Cardinal Sin of liberal ideology, whereas decapitation is an exotic, if distasteful, practice of an often misunderstood and maligned ethnic group.
Mirren10 says
Got it.
abad says
The only thing Muslims in the United States of America are entitled to is a one-way ticket back to the Middle East.
thelmalou says
Ahmad and Geller have one thing in common: they are both activists. The differences are great however.
1/ Geller decries the erosion of the First Amendment. Ahmad decries one flight attendant’s bias. (if true)
2/ Geller stands tall and speaks boldly (no weeping) despite extreme personal danger. Ahmad breaks into tears and tweets the world her severe personal pain over a perceived slight from one human being.
jewdog says
If she were a Jewish American Princess, she might have insisted on Diet Pepsi instead.
Jan says
Isn’t it usual for the airlines to open a can of pop? I’ve asked for diet coke or pepsi on airplanes and the flight attendant has opened it, poured it into a glass, and given it to me. I think the Muslim lady must have been very hypersensitive if she saw this as an example of discrimination.
Brian Hoff says
They must have open the can in front of you or you arenot telling the truth.
somehistory says
hoff…You are the one not telling the truth. Grow up. Get a life. Leave your religion of death and save yourself much trouble in the future.
gravenimage says
Does “Brian Hoff”—really, “DefenderofIslam”—have a problem with his pious coreligionists first trying to gun down Ms. Geller and an auditorium full of unarmed people, then plotting to behead her?
He certainly hasn’t indicated that he has—instead, just as Pamela has noted, he is obsessed with the supposed “injustice” of a Muslimah not being handed an unopened can of Coke. Oh, the humanity!
somehistory says
Since they serve it without charging you…*free*…they pour more than one serving from a can. The woman got on the plane with trouble-making as a plan. She has probably flown enough to know the routine and could just jihad her way to fame and fortune…she hopes.
blburuma says
Pam Geller is one brave woman. Unbelievable that the diet coke incident was more important to write about than a possible beheading. Continue doing your good work Pam. The world needs more people like you.
David, Thailand says
I believe Western leaders and media know that liberal democracies in the feverish grip of fanatical Leftists stand no chance of survival against the most ruthless, vicious scourge ever to befall Humankind.
And since their strictures also dictate that the masses stay blissfully dumbed down, we will never know the true extent of capitulation; at least not until it is too late.
Peggy says
The way we are “fighting” terrorism is like fighting Cancer with Panadol. We are not going to survive unless we get swome chemotherapy stat.
FatherJon says
Pretty clear that this woman, Ahmad, just got a hair in her arse for some reason. Possibly because she personally needed an issue for today’s headlines or she was just at that time of the month. No idea!
To read something racist or insulting into being handed an opened can of drink is sublimely dumb and paranoid. I think I usually get served a cold beer can opened on flights, the odd time I don’t is because the hostess is extra busy with other passengers. If the United hostess made a mistake at all, it’s by not opening the other guys’ beer. Would she get sacked for that? I doubt it.
FedUp lou says
This female islamic liar is only out to get paid off and collect sympathy wich i will NOT provide her with. She is way out of line and ppl like her that continue to do these things and then pull the “racist card” can Fuck off from the western civilization… We are millions that have hade ENOUGH !!!
I will NEVER fly United again and i hope other ppl will follow me and choose another airline !!!
If UNITED continue to support this scammer of a female They will have to close up shop
Lioness says
The Diet Coke story didn’t pass the smell test from the beginning. No flight attendant would say any of those things to a passanger. But for a Muslim woman wanting to start a provocation in order to claim victimhood, everything is a ripe opportunity – and the media is loving it, just the kind of story they thrive on.
Keith says
And of course the company just cave in to her every tear accompanied demand and complaint of racism and Islamophobia.
What could be better for an attention seeking hate filled liar.

Saleem’s bio has been scrubbed from the CAIR Orlando web page.
somehistory says
*He only worked there a short time*….not a direct quote from cair, but it’s the usual. He doesn’t attend, he’s mental, he never acted anything like that before, yada, yada.
At least, this is different than what is happening in the UK and the allowing of rapists to escape apprehension, trial, punishment, prison time. His mug shot is the usual too.

Sorry for being vapid and inane in the face of the usual muslim death-threats and jealous treason of the enemedia – but there are only two kinds of hateful enemies out there – the idiots, who due to their idiocy will probably come to love Pamela in five years anyway, and the jealous haters (and let’s not forget “reporters” began as jealous snitches in childhood) – who will never love you or change their criminal ways anyway.

Despite the sad state of much of the media today, this is hardly true of all reporters. My husband has a degree in journalism, and I worked on magazines and newspapers for several years.
Jihad Watch features some very brave journalists here from time to time—courageous people who really do care about the truth.

Roy C says
Sure it was a publicity driven set-up to further the cause of anti-Islamophobia which much of the loony left has bought into including our President. Delve into the incident a bit deeper and you see something else as well. The reason she can be offended according to her religion is because the open can was given by an infidel – filthy sub-humans to a devout Muslim. Just another wonderful aspect to this beautiful religion of peace so celebrated by Barak Obama and all too many in the national media.

Pamela Geller: Media jihad: Diet Coke vs. decapitation
……………………………….
Pamela Geller aptly points out the insanity of the treatment of these parallel cases.
Even if the Muslimah *had* been refused an unopened can of Coke—which it appears she was not—the idea that not receiving an unopened soft drink is more of an issue than a woman having two separate attempts on her life for daring to exercise her freedom of speech is simply madness.
The opprobrium heaped on Pamela Geller for *defending our freedoms* is utterly shameful.
Tommy Guns says
There is no doubt in my mind that this muslim woman was only trying to cause trouble, as muslims are inclined to do. Too bad the media can’t seem to get over the hump of publishing the truth. “Humiliated and crying” over a can of Coke???? Give me a break. The next thing she’ll do is sue the airline, and some hard left judge will grant her damages. What is going on in the world?? I just don’t get it!!!!
Rockfish says
Pamela, you have to be the bravest woman on the planet. I admire and appreciate the incredible work you’re doing to raise awareness. I sincerely wish the media would take you more seriously. Please don’t despair, we need as many people like you to deliver us from this madness. Don’t give up, there are many who support and are ‘cheering’ for you.
pongidae rex says
P. Geller is right. This is a war. Unfortunately, the US Corporate media are working for the wrong side. What we call the ‘news media’ in the USA makes Tokyo Rose of WWII look downright patriotic.
