Pamela Geller: should we abridge our freedoms so as not to offend savages?

“Do the ads take free speech too far?”

The question is never, does jihad take religion too far?  Is ethnic cleansing in the cause of Islam going too far? Or is death for apostates taking Sharia too far? The question is always whether we should abridge our freedoms so as not to offend savages.

“9/11 Anti-Islam Ads Hit NYC Subways” Mary Noble, Senior Editor, Politix

Do the ads take free speech too far?

Does the MTA  disclaimer taking up 25% of the ad space take the disclaiming too far?

Does the overblown disclaimer take the cowardice of the MTA too far?

Pamela Geller has outdone herself with her most inflammatory anti-Islam subway ad yet. The poster combines a quote from the Quran with the image most likely to inflame anti-Muslim passions among New Yorkers – a photo of the Twin Towers in flames during the 9/11 attack.

Geller heads the American Freedom Defense Initiative, who sponsored the previous spate of anti-Muslim ads in subway stations this fall. Transit police have probably only just finished mopping the sweat wrung from their brows by the earlier ads, which prompted the NYPD to double the number of officers in affected subway stations.

Some New Yorkers compared Geller’s earlier ads to “shouting fire in a crowded theater” when there’s no fire – one of the rare situations in which public safety concerns trump free speech rights. The NY transit authority initially refused to run the ads for that very reason, but was compelled to by a federal court on First Amendment grounds. Geller herself cites a free speech justification, asserting that ”I refuse to abridge my free speech so as to appease savages.”

Too small? Click here This is a satirical website. None of what you read here has anything to do with Islam, because Islam is a Religion of Peace. Everybody knows that good Muslims never do the things they do, (because Allah does it for them, Quran 8:12) and we know that only our misperceptions, ignorance and stereotyping of Islam makes Muslims chop off heads, kill and rape women and children, bomb subways, buses, nightclubs and fly jets into buildings. If it wasn't for the media and da Jooozzz, we wouldn't even know its happening. We welcome open, honest, thoughtful, and vigorous discussion in the comments threads, so do yourself a favour and don't accuse us of being 'haters' because we are loving, tolerant people. Don't curse us, don't threaten us with death or hellfire, and don't accuse us of being "just like the terrorists" because we don't do to Muslims what they do to us or to themselves. Yes, we know that only idiots oppose Islam and sensible people submit, but  you should know that we are ignorant bigots, hypocrites and Islamophobes, and we prefer to remain that way... But since you are forcing yourselves (and your abhorrent belief-system on us) we will defend ourselves, because we must. Avoid tu quoque and ad hominem attacks. Don't bother with circular reasoning either, we been there, done it.  If you annoy us, you will be banned and your posts summarily deleted. Try to add to the discussion, don't try to sell snake oil, don't try to cover us with Islamic shrouds of kitman and taqiyya, don't bother with da'awa, (we've heard it before) don't spam us with long pieces of cut & paste, write in English, try to tell the truth, (we know that's hard for you because you are all pathological liars) but the truth will set you free, try it! One more thing: don't think you can post here under multiple monikers. You will quickly be disappeared! The same goes for trufers and conspiracy kooks: you get one chance, one time. Blow it out of your ass if you must; put your stupidity on display. But you won't be back, trust me on that. Take a deep breath before you post, try to make some sense, do not just vent, do not make a fool of yourself and if you prove us wrong you can earn 10 Islamic dollars for your piggy bank. Deal?

“Do the ads take free speech too far?”

No. It is the truth. And the truth is ugly and cruel.

Shouldn’t the real questions be why our we attacking the modern day Kassandra? Why are we not punishing those who are seeking to continuously attack our societies?

That photo is a true event that demonstrates an attack on our society by those who are filled with hate.

An honest dialogue is called for but won’t happen to discuss the commonality of all such attacks.

Not even after 9/11, Madrid, 7/7 etc., etc.

Not with left dominated governments in control.

Interaction required. Here’s your chance to set ‘them’ straight.
Note the heavy doses of taqiyya. They think we are idiots.

Have seen the link Dhumme Dhimmi – and it is amusing – these muslim idiots seem to live in a different universe. I might add that the best advertisements for denying muslims access to citizenship can be seen by studying what muslims themselves have written on pages such as these.
It is also amusing that despite the 100 percent failure rate of islam to establish anything like a productive developing society, these muslim troglodytes (with left wing supporters) see fit to force the same onto the rest of us – no thank you!!
