Atlas Shrugs has been an invaluable source of information concerning the fight for the survival of the West. And Geller has proven herself to be a valiant and courageous soldier in this fight.
As with all who are willing to put their very lives on the line for the cause of truth, justice, and liberty, Geller has not been without her share of detractors and critics, which unfortunately include those who see her as such a threat to their subversive and dangerous agenda that they resort to personal attacks, smears, lawsuits, and even death threats.
This is to be expected given that the Jihadists and their sympathizers do not wish for the truth to be told and would love to see the public kept in the dark. An uninformed public is a sitting duck for the attacks of those who wish to destroy not only the fabric of freedom but the very existence of our country and way of life.
Thus, one thing should be made crystal clear--Pamela Geller is not a 'terrorist' simply because she fights terrorism with a passion that scares the true terrorists. She does not run a 'hate site' simply because she blogs about the twisted, insidious, and deadly world-view of Islamic extremists.
Some of those who make such charges brought their blather to this very blog in the comments section of an earlier post. Pamela Geller was kind and gracious enough to come here and give a direct response.
That response was important enough that I thought it merited a whole post unto itself.
Here is what Geller had to say about her beliefs, her goals, her objectives, and her heart:
Everything posted here is wrong. Utterly inaccurate. But hey am not surprised - its the leftist Islamic alliance propagating their memes.Muslims Against Sharia asked me to join them and to chair a committee who's objective is to make honor killing a capital crime. I was unaware of their group but thought what they wanted to do was admirable and important. Islam must be reformed from within. I love everyone that fights on the side of truth, justice and the American way. I fight the jihad and consider myself most fortunate to count amongst my friends Wafa Sultan, Ibn Warraq, Andrew Bostom, Youssef Ibrahim, Walid Phares, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Dr. Patrick Sookhdeo, Sam Solomon. I am against the coming holocaust against the Jews. I am against FGM, honor killings and the sub class citizenship of women in Islamic countries. I fight the jihad - that is my fight.To address your charges of racism and islamophobia is a canard. I can't prove a negative. It is obvious you do not read my blog or understand why I do what I do. I fight for the individual and the basic tenets of western civilization. You can avoid evil but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding evil.I and the folks that work with me intend to save America. You're either with us or against.
This is precisely the way I have experienced Pamela Geller and Atlas Shrugs ever since I stumbled upon the blog about a year and a half ago. This is why there is a permanent link to the blog on the left sidebar. And this is why I was honored to have Pamela Geller come here to make a straightforward, clear statement of what motivates her to engage in this battle.
Make no mistake about it, Islamofascisim is a major threat to the freedom of speech, freedom of the Press, freedom of religion, and every other liberty associated with free societies. This is why Canada and much of Europe has succumbed to the dire and ominous moves to place restrictions on freedom of speech.
In nearly every instance, Islamofascism is the shadow-force behind the scenes that drives these restrictions on human liberty. Extremists under the guise of being 'moderate Muslims,' for example, were behind the trial of Mark Steyn and Mclean's Magazine in British Columbia.
For sure, there are many moderate Muslims in the world. But simply because someone says they are moderate does not necessarily make them moderate.
Atlas Shrugs exists to help us make the distinction.

These attacks and character assassinations should be recognized by all thinking people for what they are: a standard part of the playbook of people who don't have a legitimate, more intelligent case to make and so must race to the bottom by attempting to kill the messenger. It's the refuge of the lame and those who can't/won't argue intelligently and fairly, and we should all try to defend against it rather than pander.

Pamela Geller is one of the very few people who truly does understand the difference between moderate Muslims and Islamofascists claiming to be moderate Muslims. Many of her detractors attempt to portray her as anti-Muslim or anti-Arab. But it is simply not true; nobody spoke out as much as Pamela Geller about the murders of Amina and Sarah Said, who were both Muslim and Arab. We are proud to have Ms. Geller a Co-Chair of the STOP HONORCIDE! campaign and a contributor to our blog
notice to all liberal/democrats:
pamela geller/atlas shrugs is a true american hero. she does not drink the kool-aide. she recognizes that there is an enemy of western civilization and that enemy is global jihad. she pulls no punches and even writes with a great wry sense of humor.
it's about time you stopped gulping the kool-aide of "feeling good" about obama etc and really took a cold hard look at what she says. she is supported by muslims, for G-d's sake, and people who have lived and suffered under jihadi islam.
she knows from whence she speaks, she is a great jew and a great amaerican. G-d bless pamela geller/atlas shrugs and may all the liberal democrats lift their eyes from their suicidal 'feel good' self-righteous tendencies and see the real deal.
