Extremist Pamela Geller held one of her inciteful, anti-Islamic stunts in Garland, Texas yesterday. Gunmen opened fire and were shot and killed by the police. On Fox News, Geller blamed President Obama.
Pamela Geller is one of the most vile hate mongers to be seen on Fox News and thats saying something. From the Southern Poverty Law Center:
Through her website, Geller has promulgated some of the most bizarre conspiracy theories found on the extreme right, including claims that President Obama is the love child of Malcolm X, that Obama was once involved with a crack whore, that his birth certificate is a forgery, that his late mother posed nude for pornographic photos, and that he was a Muslim in his youth who never renounced Islam. She has described Obama as beholden to his Islamic overlords and said that he wants jihad to be victorious in America. In April 2011, Geller accused Obama of withholding evidence in the then-upcoming trial of accused Fort Hood mass murderer Major Nidal Malik Hasan.
Geller uses her website to publish her most revolting insults of Muslims: She posted (and later removed ) a video implying that Muslims practiced bestiality with goats and a cartoon depicting the Muslim prophet Mohammad with a pigs face (observant Muslims do not eat pork). Geller also has denied the genocide of Bosnian Muslims by Serbian forces in Srebrenica calling it the Srebrenica Genocide Myth, even though the Serbian government itself issued a state apology for the massacre. She wrote, Westerners are admitting to their role in something that didnt happen, and digging their own graves.

Yes. Pamela Geller fucking well was inciting and provoking violence. That doesn't justify it, but her hate stunt was nothing like what Charlie Hebdo did.

(3,247 posts)If you accept as an a priori principle that all attacks on any and all religions are good, nothing can shake that devout belief. Neither the Koran-burner in Florida nor Geller's hatemongering antics in Texas can be acknowledged as anything but opportunities for the inherent evil of Islam to manifest itself and prove them right.
