She is right, of course, not that Hollywood is on the case: Hollywood wouldn’t dare make a film that depicted Islamic jihadists honestly and accurately. She also says a great deal more that is on-point and important about the freedom of speech and more in this interview. “Pamela Geller: Hollywood Is “In the Pocket” of Jihadists (Q&A),” by Paul Bond, Hollywood Reporter, June 9, 2015 (thanks to Steve):
Pamela Geller has been on a rampage against radical Islam for years, beginning notably in 2010 by spearheading of the opposition to what she called the “Ground Zero Mega Mosque” near the site of the destroyed World Trade Center. Her most recent controversy was the organization of a “Draw the Prophet Muhammad” contest in Texas.
A “rampage.” How ridiculous. Islamic jihadists have been on a rampage against free people. Pamela Geller is resisting them — and the Hollywood Reporter says she is the one on the rampage.
At the event, two self-described jihadists shot a security guard before police killed them. Then, on June 2, police killed a knife-wielding Muslim man in Boston whose goal was allegedly to behead Geller in retaliation for the contest. Even though the contest was a major news story, few media outlets published the winning cartoon. Geller’s group, American Freedom Defense Initiative, put the image on billboards, 100 of which debuted in St. Louis on Monday with the tagline “Support Free Speech.” She spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about how the (largely hostile) media is portraying these events.
Why are you being overly provocative, purposely insulting Muslims?
I am not being overly provocative or purposely insulting Muslims. Islamic jihadists, not I, made Muhammad cartoons the flash point for the defense of the freedom of speech when they began killing over them. If we don’t stand against them on that point, the only alternative is surrender and submission. I did not make the cartoons a flash point, the jihadis did.
But if you just don’t insult their prophet, they’ll leave you alone, no?
No. The death penalty for insulting Muhammad is just one aspect of Sharia. There is much, much more of infidel behavior that violates Sharia. If we refrain from drawing Muhammad, more demands to adhere to other aspects of Sharia will follow. Millions are suffering or have been slaughtered under Islamic Sharia law in Muslim countries. Islamic supremacists mean to impose it in the West.
Why shouldn’t cartoons insulting a religion be regarded as hate speech instead of protected free speech?
There is no hate speech exception to the First Amendment. “Hate speech” is a subjective judgment. If it were outlawed, the authority with the power to decide what constitutes it would have the power to control the public debate.… If a group will not bear being offended without resorting to violence, that group will rule unopposed while everyone else lives in fear, while other groups curtail their activities to appease the violent group. This results in the violent group being able to tyrannize the others. Cartoons have been used as satire since the beginning of satire — especially in our country — and no one gets a pass. Not the Pope of Rome, president of the United States or Hollywood’s biggest movie stars.… If you don’t like it, don’t look at it, boycott the network that airs it, don’t buy the publication, make counter-images, make a million, fine, but you have to adjust to us, not we to you, and if that’s too much, don’t come here. Threaten violence? Commit violence? The consequences are yours to bear.
It seems many media pundits who claim allegiance to the First Amendment aren’t persuaded by your arguments.
They are afraid of being killed by Islamic jihadists and camouflage their fear and cowardice as “respect” for Islam and Muslims.
Are there any TV hosts who have been particularly hostile to you during interviews?
Yes. Martha MacCallum, Erin Burnett, Alisyn Camerota, Chris Cuomo — although he let me speak and make my case.
How about behind your back?
Yes. Bill O’Reilly and Laura Ingraham. They said I was insulting the entire religion, one held by our moderate allies such as Egypt and Qatar. They are wrong in assuming that we must submit to Sharia to placate moderates, rather than that moderates need to accept the freedom of speech. Roman Catholics don’t like their religion mocked or the mockery of other religions, but Roman Catholics don’t kill when their religion is mocked — and so no one talks about “provoking” them or “respecting” them. In any pluralistic society, we have to put up with being offended and even with our core beliefs being mocked. Roman Catholics have learned that. Mormons and others have learned that — look at The Book of Mormon on Broadway. Why must we condescend to Muslims and think they cannot learn that? It’s the low expectation of soft bigotry.
So this isn’t entirely a partisan issue where conservatives stand by you and liberals don’t?
No. Chris Hayes stuck up for me on MSNBC. This is not a left/right split, it is a free person/slave split.
Did any TV host say something that struck you as particularly wrongheaded?
They all say I have the right to draw Muhammad but shouldn’t out of respect. They don’t seem to realize that any surrender on this point will only be seen by the jihadists as a victory and embolden them to make more demands. CNN’s Erin Burnett said I relished being the target of a beheading. It’s madness. Who self-promotes to get killed?
So you’re not purposely courting danger, as Burnett and others have insinuated?
Of course not. I love life. But I will not live as a slave.
Are there any TV hosts you’d like to face off with but who won’t have you on?
Bill O’Reilly. I expect he knows he would be shown up.
We know about the man arrested who intended to behead you. Any other threats you can share?
I have received many threats. The FBI and NYPD are aware of them and on the case.
Anyone in Hollywood reach out to you to offer support?
No.
Should Hollywood care about threats against you?
They may think they’re exempt, but they aren’t. Islamic supremacists will be demanding they adhere to Sharia as well. Of course, most producers already are careful not to show anything that might offend Muslims, including accurate representations of jihad plotting and activity, so Hollywood is mostly already in their pocket. But this is their issue, and the entertainment industry should be on the front lines in the information battle space. The jihadists aren’t just coming for me, they are coming for all of us that believe in freedom.
So why do you think Hollywood, which routinely claims to push the envelope in its art, hasn’t supported you?
They’re afraid of being ostracized.
Your “Draw Muhammad” event certainly got a lot of news coverage. Should mainstream media outlets have published the winning cartoon?
Every media outlet should publish the Muhammad cartoons. They can’t kill us all. By kowtowing to violent intimidation, they are inviting more of it. Instead, they should be showing that we will all stand together for free speech. If the media had published the Danish cartoons back in 2005, this would never have become an issue. The submission by media, entertainment and academic elites empowered the savages.
The Southern Poverty Law Center included you on their list of “hate groups.” Are they right?
Of course not. They’re the hate group, using that label to demonize and stigmatize all who don’t share their hard-left agenda. The SPLC smear machine does [not] profile jihad groups, but they target and libel patriots, veterans, Tea Party organizations and other groups that work in defense of freedom. They named [Republican presidential contender] Ben Carson as a hate group. That should tell you everything you need to know about them. Their [sympathizers] have violently attacked family groups, and one tried to assassinate Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council. And a few months back an SPLC [sympathizer] killed three Muslims in a parking dispute in North Carolina.
Don McKellar says
You know it’s weird, but I seem to remember a good number of big Hollywood films that had Islamic supremacist terrorists doing what jihadis do. All kinds of “Allah willing” and all that included. One that comes to mind is TRUE LIES. The villains were jihadis with a nuke. But that was before the big crackdown against truth about Islam. We’d never see this kind of storyline today.
From IMDB:
Secretly a spy but thought by his family to be a dull salesman, Harry Tasker (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is tracking down nuclear missiles in the possession of Islamic jihadist Aziz (Art Malik). Harry’s mission is complicated when he realizes his neglected wife, Helen (Jamie Lee Curtis), is contemplating an affair with Simon (Bill Paxton), a used-car salesman who claims he’s a spy. When Aziz kidnaps Harry and Helen, the secret agent must save the world and patch up his marriage at the same time.
Angemon says
Don McKellar posted:
“But that was before the big crackdown against truth about Islam. We’d never see this kind of storyline today.”
The novel “The Sum of All Fears” featured Arab terrorists as the main antagonists. The movie adaptation (starring imam Ben Affleck) featured neo-Nazis, after a two-year long campaign by CAIR demanding that muslims should no be portrayed as terrorists.
Because who ever heard of a muslim terrorist, right?
Softly Bob says
Yes whoever heard of a Muslim terrorist group? ISIS are the exception. There were no Muslim terrorist groups before ISIS came along.
Well, apart from al-Qaeda that is…… but they weren’t any more.
Oh…. apart from the Taliban. But there were no others, were there?
Apart from Boko Haram… I forgot about them.
Oh… and Hezbollah and al-Shabaab and Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, the Mahdi Army….
Edward Cline says
“24” never heard of Muslim terrorists, either. It was always “White South African” terrorists or “Ukrainian” terrorists and the like. “24” stayed away from blaming Islam as a matter of policy, which is why I stopped watching it.
Huck Folder says
Hollywood 101
The Sum of All Fears
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sum_of_All_Fears_(film)
“While the basic plot was the same, [as the Tom Clancy book] there were significant changes from the book.”…
“Perhaps the largest change were the ORIGINAL TERRORISTS. In the novel, they were ARAB NATIONALISTS, but in the film, they were changed to neo-fascists. [Not very convincingly!] A common misconception is that this was done as a reaction to the September 11 attacks. However, the movie finished filming in June 2001.
On the “making-of” DVD extra, director Alden Brown said that it was purely for elements relating to the plot, as Arab terrorists would not be able to plausibly accomplish all that was necessary for the story to work. [Soft bigotry of low expectations? Pakistani bomb?] In addition, the terrorists in the book received significant aid from elements in East Germany, a country which had ceased to exist before the novel was even published.” [What does THAT have to do with anything?]
“The group Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) did mount a two-year ‘lobbying campaign’ that ended on January 26, 2001, against using “Muslim villains”, as the original book version did. Director Phil Alden Robinson is quoted in a letter to CAIR saying, “I hope you will be reassured that I have no intention of promoting negative images of Muslims or Arabs, [they don’t need any help from me!] and I wish you the best in your continuing efforts to combat discrimination”. [Gets up from knees.]
“Screenwriter Dan Pyne claimed that the decision to not use Arab terrorists was “POSSIBLY because that has become a cliché. [That never stopped Hollywood producing ‘Western or War cliché movies?] At the time that I started writing The Sum of All Fears, Joerg Haider was just starting to come into play in Austria. And simultaneous with that, I THINK, there was some neo-nationalist activity in Holland, and there was STUFF going on in Spain and in Italy. So it SEEMED like a logical and lasting idea that would be universal.” [translation?] It has also been noted that a larger percent of PROFIT$ stems from international audiences, and American filmmakers work to avoid alienating large segments of this customer base.” [Self-censorship]
Thank god, the book tells it straight. If the movie encouraged anyone to read the book, they would get the real story.
Next step cair, get the book BANNED.
Angemon says
“Screenwriter Dan Pyne claimed that the decision to not use Arab terrorists was “POSSIBLY because that has become a cliché”
At first glance that seems a reasonable excuse, but it doesn’t explain why CAIR lobbied for two years against using Arab terrorists. Shouldn’t the process have been something like “Hi. This is CAIR. It’s about that movie adaptation of Tom Clancy’s ‘The Sum of All Fears’ novel. If you could make the villains be NOT Arabs and NOT muslims, that would be terrific. Oh, you’re using neo-Nazis? OK then, thanks for the info and we won’t bother you again. By the way, can you make the main character an Arab-American muslim who faces discrimination from bigoted, white, Christian Americans on a daily basis?”
Brian says
I am glad Pamela Geller is well prepared for all these Islamoapologists, *AHEM*, I mean “interviewers”
dumbledoresarmy says
From the interview: “Q: So why do you think Hollywood, which routinely claims to push the envelope in its art, hasn’t supported you?
A. They’re afraid of being ostracized.”
I suspect it’s more than that. I suspect it’s fear of having studios and cinemas attacked – by human bombs, by planted bombs, by teams of jihadis with AK-47s or other weaponry, just like what was done to the people at Charlie Hebdo. Fear of being attacked, themselves, or their actors, scriptwriters, everybody.
And then there’s the money weapon, the Jihad of the purse. I’d like to know just how much money the likes of the Saudis, the Iranians, the other oil-rich mohammedan entities, Qatar and the Emirates, have invested in western media – including movie companies, including producers. Money is needed to make movies. If you control the purse-strings… And besides ‘legal’ avenues for applying pressure, by means of shares etc, how much ‘back-door’ pressure – bribery and corruption and blackmail – is *also* being deployed against movie execs, producers, scriptwriters, directors, actors, key people in the industry?
Muslims regularly and nonsensically claim that “the Jews” control the world (non-Muslim) media. But that is probably yet another example of Muslim projection; accusing others of doing what they themselves have done or intend to do.
Wellington says
Bravest woman in America. Also immensely correct on the matter of liberty. Shame on all those who continue to refuse to see what Pamela Geller really stands for. This would include great disappointments like Bill O’Reilly, Laura Ingraham and even Franklin Graham.
Everyone should know (God knows Geller does) that no criticism of Islam, the Koran or Mohammed is allowed. Nothing. It’s not just about depictions of the Profiteer Mohammed. It’s about the complete shut-down of freedom wherever Islam exists and gets its way. One knows this or should know it. Way too many people don’t know it, including many on the Right let alone the many totalitarians that can be found on the Left.
Stardusty Psyche says
Hi Wellington,
“Bravest woman in America”
Indeed, too bad she is also unhinged and irrational about the jihadi killinest guy on the planet…
“Obama is unequivocally aligned with the jihad force.”
“Obama Makes Islamic State Finger Salute to African Leaders”
“Terrorist in the White House”
What utter fruitcake loony tunes…
It is a testament to the segmentation of the human brain that a person who so cogently and accurately describes an enormous threat most are unwilling to even recognize at all…so much to her own personal peril…courageous indeed…yet that same mind can blather such preposterous drivel about our president.
Maybe one day she will read Dabiq and realize who is the Islamic State Killer in Chief.
Jay Boo says
Stardusty Psyche reveals (troll credentials), yet again.
Clever Trolls become unhinged so easily despite an ornate façade.
Just like the perfumed covered fetid stink of Islam that rots on the inside.
Wellington says
Yes, Jay Boo, this Star Boy is obnoxious. On another thread I wrote that I would no longer respond to him, which I won’t, but that doesn’t entail not making references to him, as here. He’s either a Leftist or a Muzzie and he wants to make trouble and tie up things at JW. I think it best to ignore him but each regular here at JW will have to proceed as they see fit. His manner of saying “Hi” to those he writes to, and just the way he writes in general, reminds me of the unctuous, insincere Uriah Heep from Dickens’ David Copperfield.
Stardusty Psyche says
Hi Jay Boo,
In other words, you have no factually based counter argument to my pointing out the sheer absurdity of things like “Obama is unequivocally aligned with the jihad force.” regarding the biggest jihadi killer on the planet right now.
Stardusty Psyche says
Hi Wellington,
A number of bloggers here have questioned my motives, though you are indeed unique in questioning my use of “Hi”.
It’s just an informal salutation, no nefarious motive. Sometimes I skip it, usually I include it just to remain a little upbeat and make it clear who I am addressing.
I have a number of motives, since you seem interested in them.
1. Raise the level of debate on Islam. So many bloggers here go on ridiculous tirades about Muslims full of cursing, preposterous generalizations, and obvious ignorance about the content of the texts. The average JW poster sounds like an ignorant ass and that gives we more serious anti-theists a bad reputation by unfair but somewhat inevitable association.
2. Hone my ability to expect and respond to the malformed arguments of theists condemning theists.
3. Learn a few things from time to time. On rare occasions somebody here will actually make a cogent point I had not considered or convey some useful information I was not aware of.
4. I enjoy hearing myself talk…I have a beguiling wit, don’t you agree ?-)
Western Canadian says
Wellington and Jay Boo, I agree that this low grade lout has nothing to offer, only his pathetically inflated opinion of his own ignorance and juvenile posturing…. Truly an outstanding example of a dumbed down education system that turns out less than second rate minds.

It displays a familiarity that you have not and are incapable of earning…..
“I have a number of motives, since you seem interested in them.”
Again, the loutish troll flatters himself. Interested in them? No, not even amused by them.
” 1. Raise the level of debate on Islam.

Your juvenile and pathetic posts do not raise the level of debate, you lack either the knowledge or wit to do so. You merely bore people with your unbridled self aggrandizement and ignorance.
“2. Hone my ability to expect and respond to the malformed arguments of theists condemning theists.”
Your incredible ignorance of theists in general, renders your meanderings to be beyond reason, and beneath contempt. You are much too weak minded and ignorance to be capable of such.
“3. Learn a few things from time to time. On rare occasions somebody here will actually make a cogent point I had not considered or convey some useful information I was not aware of.”
The prattle on a child’s cereal box would be more suited to you learning things, you are so far behind on the curve…. as for your inability to recognize a cogent point…. spend a few years on children’s cereal boxes… It would improve your mockery of a mind to a most impressive degree.
“4. I enjoy hearing myself talk…I have a beguiling wit, don’t you agree ?-)”
Proof that stupid people seldom differ…. Only an ass as ignorant and thick as you could possibly ‘hear; your empty and ill informed drivel. As for wit, again, your self flattery is most revealing. You have none at all.
Stardusty Psyche says

Anyone heard of the Turkish movie ‘The Five Minarets’ ?
Papa Whiskey says
Why shouldn’t cartoons insulting a religion be regarded as hate speech instead of protected free speech?
Because the “insult” is true. Bosch Fawstin’s winning entry simply pointed up the need to resist Islamic demands for self-censorship — exactly the purpose of the original Danish Muhammad cartoon article. My own depicted Muhammad’s head floating above the hand and bloody knife of the ISIS terrorist Mohammed Emwazi, aka “Jihadi John,” who used it to behead his helpless victims, and saying, “When it comes to religion, I’ve got the EDGE.” This reflects the truth that Islam enforces its dictates through bloody brutality.
I “rampaged” with Pamela Geller in that New York rally in 2010, and will continue to do so as long as I’m drawing breath. Deus lo volt!
dumbledoresarmy says
Here’s how Hollywood could start making amends and break through the cowardice barrier.
Award a posthumous Oscar – honoris causa, for services to the arts and to freedom of speech and freedom of conscience – to the late Dutch film-maker Theo Van Gogh, for his short film “Submission” that lifts the lid on ideologically-taught-and-sacralised Islamic misogyny. And it is, in fact, a beautiful film, in the artistic sense.
And show “Submission” – it’s not that long – **at the Oscars award ceremony**. So everyone can see the film for which Theo laid his life on the line.
Security at that particular ceremony is pretty solid anyway, I’d say, so it wouldn’t make too much of a difference to the budget to step it up a bit.
Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who wrote the script, could be invited to receive the statuette and be given *ten minutes* to make an acceptance speech. She’d look good in a little black dress and I bet she’d make the best speech ever spoken at any Oscars award ceremony, *ever*.
Wellington says
You’re correct in what Hollywood should do, dda, but there’s not a snowball’s chance in Hell that Hollywood will ever do what you recommended———–though it clearly should.
Ideology trumps everything else. It did so for Nazis. It does so for Muslims. And it does so for the looney leftists that make up the Hollywood establishment. Trust me, the Jane Fondas out there in Hollyweird are practically ubiquitous. They are ill informed, possess a hatred of traditional America, and stupid in the way that successful and superficially educated people often tend to be. Believe me when I tell you that the Hollywood crowd hates American conservatives far, far more than they do ISIS. In fact, I would bet that many out there in Hollyweird don’t hate ISIS at all.
dumbledoresarmy says
There’s a book that needs to be made into a film, *now*.
It’s by G K Chesterton, and it was written in 1915, and it’s called “The Flying Inn”.
It’s about **a stealth-Islamified England**…how that happens, and then how it is liberated.
I kid you not. Chesterton wrote that book **in 1915**.
What’s needed is a very brave indie film-maker to crowd-source within the Resistance and then update Chesterton’s story and set it in *21st century Britain** – indeed, the situation in many towns in the UK is far more dire than anything described in the book – and then…tell the story pretty much straight. Do it like a *documentary*. In black and white rather than in colour, a Blair Witch Project “found footage” style, hand-held camera.
RonaldB says
Thanks for the reference, dumbledore…
“The Flying Inn” is happily in my Chesterton collection and scheduled to be read.
One disagreement I have with you is your suggestion for adaptation to a 21st century. My firm opinion is that works of art, literature, drama, music, etc don’t do well when the context is transposed. For example,I saw the Opera “Electra” by Richard Strauss, based of course on the Greek tragedy. But, the context of the particular opera production I saw was modified from the Greek kingdom ruled by a tyrant, to a mythical East European dictatorship of the 1930’s.
The producer literally had to pull appropriate analogies out of his hat, while maintaining the original context of the Greek city-state ruled by a tyrant, of which there are abundant and true histories, would have provided a realistic and compelling backdrop.
The purpose of art is to study the human character in context, and every context has a general and a specific aspect. It is up to the viewer to draw generalizations from the interaction between the context and the protagonist. By switching contexts and using very strained analogies, the director, usually far less creative and skilled than the original author or composer, makes a production which is less than fully sensible.
“The Marriage of Figaro” and “Don Giovanni” are operas that producers are always trying to stuff into more modern or more relevant contexts, and if the libretto is not changed, just simply do not make sense.
Where I’m going is that I would think that maintaining the context of the story,making an effort to bring the audience into the world of Chesterton and his story, rather than making a strained adaptation of the story into a context it was not meant to describe, would actually have more of an impact.
Jack Diamond says
A fine idea, and all the right people would boycott it.
Even better, they could remake “Submission” as a full-length feature, since they thought enough of Theo to remake his film “Interview”. Oh wait, it quotes the Qur’an. That’s almost as bad as drawing Muhammad.
Smart Guy says
Yes Jews run and own most of Hollywood, but do Jews support freedom?
VeteransToday.com says that the CIA M15 and Israel are supplying ISIS with
weapons and even medical assistance by having some of their fighters getting
hospital assistance. The freedom of speech can reveal the dirty tricks that governments
get up to that have spy departments. Remember what Satan said to Jesus. ” If you bow
down to me I can give you all the kingdoms of the world.” A government that does not do
dirty tricks and does not need secrets would be the kingdom of God.
dumbledoresarmy says
Nonsense.
Vile antisemitic nonsense…and citing the vilely antisemitic “veteranstoday” website, to boot.
Claiming that “the Jews” – a mere 14 milion human beings, total, and *without* anything like the trillions in petrodollars commanded by the swimming-in-cash Muslim oil states – control everything, media and world events, is the height of insanity. And just plain stupid.
Blaming the current wave of orthodox Islamic global Jihad – the current Muslim Revival – on the Jews is plain damnable vicious nonsense. Claiming that Israel or the USA created Islamic State is sheer insanity. Claiming that Israel is arming and/ or in other ways assisting Islamic State – which threatens them directly – is also sheer insanity. Obama and the current Islamophile – both duped or actively colluding – US administration is enabling Islamic State in various ways but Islamic State would not and could not exist without Islam, Islam, Islam. It could not exist withoiut the jihad doctrines at the core of traditional Islam.
Blaming *any* episode of Jihad on the Jews – are you going to try that, next? – is totally insane.
It betrays the kind of twisted mind that sees “da Joooz” as the source of all evil in the world.
You’re not a ‘smart guy’.
You’re either a fool, or wicked, or both.
If you’re not a Muslim, then it strikes me that you’re the kind of person who’ll still be screaming accusations at “the Jews” whilst the allahu-akbaring Muslim jihadi is sawing off your head.

Oh, wait, you attacked a liberal democrat who actually is a veteran…sorry, that gives you a pass 🙂

Kerry?? a veteran who lied about his service, ran out on his unit, by his own admission committed a war crime, smeared and slandered his own military?? Oh, yeah. THAT Kerry.
Stardusty Psyche says
Hi Western Canadian,
I see you have no facts regarding your allegations about my alleged misrepresentations of theism
Can you provide an untruth (slander) Kerry spoke about our military? (not your military, the USA military)
Jack Diamond says
That explains one after another “pro-Palestinian anti-Israel” film, even made by highly assimilated secular Jews like Harvey Weinstein and Steven Spielberg. Should we list all the “big names” who are on record despising Israel and still do alright in “Jewish run” Hollywood? How many Muslim villains have there been again lately in Hollywood films? Universal put out a film called “Non Stop” recently, about a plane hijacked by a terrorist who is going to kill everyone on board. Is the terrorist a Muslim? No, the terrorist is a 9/11 family member and a combat vet angry about America’s pointless wars and the good guy is a devout, bearded, kindly Muslim doctor. How is that for an inversion of reality? That is Jew run Hollywood for you.
“Every time they (the Jews) kindled the fire of war, Allah extinguished it, but they strive to do mischief on earth (corruption in the land) and Allah does not love those who do mischief” (5:64) and “you will surely find the most intense of the people in enmity towards the believers to be the Jews…” (5:82) So just as sure as the earth is flat and the sun sets in a muddy pool, Jews run everything (with their dark satanic arts) and are the scapegoat for everything bad in Muslimworld and for their sundry fellow-travellers.

Peggy says
It’s so much safe to keep making movies about those “genocidal terrorist” Serbs and Russians than actually be accurate and make a movie based on the real enemy.
You see, Serbs and Russians don’t blow up cinemas and movie studios when they are portrayed as terrorists so cowardly Hollywood keeps spreading propaganda instead of truth.
Bezelel says
They can always claim it’s fiction while they pack in as much subliminal propaganda as possible.
Bridget Ames says
Pamela you have the support of many conservatives we might not be famous or even run with the current flock of GOP, but you have our support. Even some liberal minded people are waking up to the reality of the creeds of Islam. The awful things they do to woman, people of other religions, their own children etc. It is a carnal abominable religion the creates mean and hateful beast. Keep being courageous in your public fight. The media is just frenzying they know there is no honest way to clean this up or revamp it. People are seeing things for what they are, to complain about an open coke can due to the fact a dirty infidel opened it verses a person getting their head cut off due to drawings is incomparable. .

“Why shouldn’t cartoons insulting a religion…”
Stop right there… how on earth is a cartoon saying “you can’t draw me” equal to “insulting a religion”?! And, even if some think so, it’s hardly up there with “P*** Christ” or the Book of Mormon, is it?! One of which you can see at the New York Times, the other being a big hit on the London and New York musical scene… compared to those, how can anyone claim that the cartoons of Muhammad shown by AFDI are “insulting”?!
Pity this wasn’t mentioned to the interviewer. The fallacy of the “insulting Muhammad” argument should be pointed out at every opportunity, and laid to rest once and for all…

If the jihadists succeed in defeating people like Pamela Geller, the next
people they’ll target will be the cowardly and mean-spirited “progressives”
who’ve aided and abetted them at every turn and who’ll they’ll have strung up.
So, at least we’d have that consolation.

At one point in the Hollywood Reporter interview, Pam rhetorically asks, in response to the allegation by Erin Burnett that Pam “relished being the target of a beheading” — “Who self-promotes to get killed?” Well, Muslims do, especially when they want to be “martyrs.” They hope to be killed, and have announced that wish hundreds of times.
