There has been enormous press coverage surrounding my demo against CUNY’s obscene invitation to, as Milo succinctly put it, “sharia-loving, terrorist-embracing, Jew-hating, ticking time-bomb of progressive horror,” to keynote their commencement ceremonies.
The event was a smashing success, a triumph. Thousands came out in the pouring rain and cold to protest the monstrous invite to a monster. And that was the lede story. The make-up of the crowd was the lede story. Mostly young, mixed, everything — true Americana. For me, that represents a sea change in our movement. Seeing that, the enemedia had to spring into action. Not one hour after the event was over, the deranged left-wing New York Daily News crafted a false story headlined “Wild brawl breaks out at rally against CUNY’s commencement speaker civil-rights activist Linda Sarsour,” but of course, there was no wild brawl. Having been called out about this, they have since changed the headline to, “Milo Yiannopoulos-led protest against CUNY commencement speaker Linda Sarsour turns violent.” Wrong again: it was an AFDI protest, and it was not violent.
In a minor incident, two violent left-wing morons were arrested for attacking our people. That’s news? That’s standard operating procedure for those violent goons. But the New York Daily News wrote it up that the violent hooligans were the ones attacked. They just make this stuff up. Did they talk to any of the speakers? No. Did they talk to any of the victims of those arrested? No. The New York Daily News said there were no arrests. But there were. And of course, every other media outlet picking up on the story said that there were no arrests. Did anyone of these “journalists” even make a call to the NYPD?
The Daily Mail also covered our protest against the invitation given to a pro-terror, pro-sharia Jew-hater. What’s so telling is every major news organization picked up the Daily News fake news story about a wild brawl. There were two arrests — violent leftists, of course. It was our people who were attacked. But nowhere do you get the actual story in any of the news accounts. And we didn’t clash. The violent leftwing thugs were agitating and menacing our peaceful protest for the whole of the event.
The news story here isn’t about violence at our event. The story is that we are pushing back against this leftist/Islamic goosestepping army. Why the police put these violent morons right up against our stage is an interesting question. Read about that here.
The most accurate account of our rally is here.
Assemblyman Dov Hikind, Milo, John Guandolo, Nonie Darwish and David Wood gave rousing speeches to a drenched, enthusiastic crowd. It was a turning point.
The fact is that the only reason the cowards at CUNY haven’t cancelled Sarsour is that they are afraid that her coreligionists and their leftist lapdogs will blow the place up if they do.
Media outlets reported “scores” of protesters. Does this look like scores to you? It’s a whole city cross town block, 42nd street between 2nd and 3rd avenues.
The theme of our protest was this: we were mad as hell and we weren’t going to take it anymore.
“Violence erupts as Milo Yiannopoulos-led protesters chanting ‘make America great again’ clash with demonstrators after Linda Sarsour’s CUNY commencement speech,” by Simon Holmes, Mailonline, May 26, 2017:
A rally against one of City University of New York’s commencement speakers ended in a violent altercation between demonstrators and counter-protesters on Thursday.
The scuffle broke out after a band of demonstrators led by alt-right poster boy Milo Yiannopoulos, conservative political commentator Pam Geller and Assemblyman Dov Hikind took to the CUNY campus to blast its decision to select civil-rights activist Linda Sarsour as graduation speaker for its School of Public Health.
A small group of demonstrators said to be chanting ‘Make America Great Again’ supposedly surrounded and attacked 19-year-old counter-protester Heather Morris who accused the group of being ‘Nazis’.
‘They tried hitting me with their fists, their sticks, whatever they found,’ Morris told the New York Daily News after the scuffle.
‘They’re a bunch of Nazis…They probably targeted me because I’m young and I’m brown, too.’
Yiannopoulos and his small group of protesters were rallying against the University’s selection of Sarsour to be its June commencement speaker.
Sarsour rose to prominence in January as the activist who organised the Washington Women’s March soon after President Donald Trump’s inauguration.
She has been accused of being an anti-semite for her support of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel.
BDS seeks to put economic pressure on Israel until it grants Palestinian citizens full equality.
The self-proclaimed ‘Palestinian Activist’ also caused uproar after tweeting a photo of a young boy with rocks in each hand facing Israeli police, along with the words ‘the definition of courage.’
Yiannopoulos told the New York Daily News: ‘Linda Sarsour is a Sharia-loving, terrorist-embracing, Jew-hating, ticking time bomb.’
Speaking at the rally he said: ‘It’s now more important than ever to fight Islam in America and particularly its emissaries like Linda Sarsour.’
Geller in her address at the rally laid into Sarsour: ‘She’s earned a reputation as one of this country’s most vicious anti-Israel activists, she has called Netanyahu a ‘waste of skin.’
‘She tweeted a picture of a young Muslim child throwing a rock at Jews, calling him the definition of courage. Surely CUNY can do better?’
A number of CUNY professors have said opting to replace her as speaker would ‘conflict with the First Amendment and the principles of academic freedom.’
A spokesman said after the rally: ‘Some, who object to Ms. Sarsour’s positions, have called on CUNY to rescind the invitation.
‘To take such actions at a public university would violate the First Amendment as well as the principles of academic freedom.’
No arrests were made at the demonstration.
Yiannopoulos describes Linda Sarsour as a ‘Sharia-loving, terrorist-embracing, Jew-hating, ticking time bomb’
Cynthia in California says
All I can say is that YOU ROCK!!! Pamela Geller!!! Thank you for your actions on behalf of non-Sharia-supporting people.
common sense says
Replacing Sour ‘at a public university would violate the First Amendment as well as the principles of academic freedom.’
I’m trying to figure out her connection to CUNY that gives Sour any right over someone else the university might choose to speak instead, they said it themselves it’s a public university and expressed it’d be better to let someone else speak. THAT IS a “principle” and an ‘academic freedom’.
WAY to go Pamela Geller, amazing job! They know who we are now and who that loser Sour is. Please come to Bezerkley. Milo and Coulter flamed out here maybe the 3rd time is a charm.

If one can’t believe the content of the publication, how can one believe the advertisements in it?
no_one says
I don’t read leftist sites and don’t watch CNN for years. If I was graduating I would walk out of her speech.
Monty says
Wonderful! When will Europe follow suit? Or are they so browbeaten and oppressed that there is no one who can stand up to Muslim thuggery?
Bill says
They are all of that. They are serfs but do not understand it all quite yet.
Sarita says
Pamela Geller is a hero!!!
I think what’s really happening is this: rich, globalist leaders in the West are having their palms greased by oil money from Muslims. That includes Wall Street, leftists, leftist mega-rich (for example, Silicon Valley), the media (nearly 100% of it leftist), universities (who are collecting millions from Muslims as well).
What’s going on, is a Muslim pay-out party, and the Muslim oil money is paying the West leftists and West leftist rich to EASE the Muslims’ way into occupying the West, like strangulating fungi.
HOWEVER, the people of the West, the real people, are watching what’s going on, and they’re increasingly angry about the leaders, media, universities shoving Muslims down their throats.
Sooner or later something will tip things, and it will not be pleasant for the media, for Wall Street, for universities, for leftist mega-rich, and for all the Muslims out there killing, and the ones payout the leftists in exchange for being able to infiltrate the West like the cancer Muslims are.
Joe says
It is actually the opposite. Muslims are being paid by the elite through the deep state to jihad against the west. Terror is certainly part of Islam, but it is also being agitated and coordinated by deep-state operatives such as the CIA. Take Libya as an example. The American military took out Gadaffi, and that exacerbated the immigrant problem across Europe. The immigrant problem is based on Islam, but who took out Gadaffi? Yes, I know he was not our friend. By the way, the same “mistake” was made in Syria, Iran, and Afghanistan to name only some them. In addition, CFR articles in the 1990s, demanded that those “mistakes” be made across the Arab crescent. The “mistakes” did not begin with jihad, but jihad was brought into play by someone. Jihad is a smoke screen for deep state actions.
The European elite are no so stupid as to think that they are not ruining Europe. That is their intent. Jihad is one of their tools.
The CIA started Al-Qaeda and probably still run it. The Manchester attack seems as if it was coordinated by the CIA and carried out by one of their terror cells. The same thing happened in 9-11. Someone had access to those buildings to plant the explosives, but that explosion was coordinated with a jihad. Who coordinated it?
maghan says
Yup. As Lenin once said–“the Capitalist will even sell you the rope that he knows you are going to hang him with”. Dumb fools.
Joeyn says
So glad to see Milo Yiannopoulos back in action. Hope to see / hear more from him. Thank you Pamela and Milo for organizing this event and ensuring its success.
jayell says
What’s that I read just up the page? ‘Muhammad was a feminist?’.Right, and Hitler was a part-time Rabbi.
Rob says
Agree. Recently Sansour (the media proclaimed feminine rights activist) publicly claimed that FGM is a small tribal thing and not supported by either Muhammad or any mainline Islamic religious text. But when a young man in the audience called Sansour out by quoting FGM supporting passages from Islamic religious texts, Sansour didn’t deny or explain the passages…she attacked the young man as a RACIST! (The video can be found on YouTube.)
Rob says
Sorry…her name is correctly spelled as “Sarsour”. Think sour lemons.
Will says
Sour-Puss ……
Bwaaa-haaaaa-haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!! Choke. Gasp. Sniff. …..

Now you need to attend the speech, record what she says and plaster it all over the internet so people can see what she’s really up to. You know she won’t be able to resist the chance to indoctrinate those kids. This ought to be good.
Isabellathecrusader says
Make that “she won’t be able to resist the temptation to show what Muslims really think”. (And do.)
WPM says
I was there the Ms. Geller side spoke very well to the point ,all the progressives did was to be themselves. Screaming ,chanting meaningless slogans over and over (the same ones). I guess if you can not make a point or a rebuttal you should be loud and child like in voicing nonsense .If you want to holds someone interest at least chant more then 2 or 3 things in 2 hours.
Mike says
Muhammad was so feminist – like Trudeau ???- that he married a 6 years old girl . Muhammad was so feminist that he never earn his life with his work after 25 years old . He live by the wealth of a rich widow , Khadija – like Macron????.- since her death. At her death , they had lost a great part of their wealth. Islam is the attempt of a man , Muhammad ,to make a living with the believes of peoples around him. Since Muhammad was not accepted by the Jews or the Christians as a valid prophet , he reate his own religion , his lucrative enterprise , based on a third of the religion of jews , another third from the christian and the last third was the rites of the arabic pagan tradition: kabba, ramadan , miraculous water, pilgrimages, sacred stone , the moon over the mosques etc…. Since he didn’t became rich with his followers , he raided them ooasis by oasis , village by village , getting all their ressources as a booty and sharing a part of it with his armed men . Islam not a religion rather a sect . The biggest one . So much for feminism. Muhammad sold hundred of women as slaves or sex slaves . What a feminist !
Boko Haram ( forbidden Western civilisation, litteraly) , what do they do with their young girls ? They sell it as sex toys to make money . 10 euros each. What a feminism!
maghan says
Muhammad, feminist? Not according to Qur’an 33:50. It advocates the rape and enslavement of girls captured in war raids.
UNCLE VLADDI says
People occasionally wonder “Why are there no right-wing protests?” Because there is no right-wing; they are all law-abiding individualists who literally mind their own businesses. It’s always only the extortive gangster “left” criminals who protest (agitate slander and extort) their victims all the time.
lauren says
why do so many women insist om islam being feminine when no woman under islam ever attained the staus Khadija had before islam? you’ll know better than me which hadith (?) it was that mohammed’s friend complained that his wife had repaid him in kind by yelling back at him & said the women were becoming emboldened like the women of a differing tribe. moey also said women were covered by 2 things marriage or the grave & grave was better for them no muslim man would acknowledge Khadija’s superiority in that she was supporting mohammed by employing him,& employing other men,would they?
