CURRENT AFFAIRS FREEDOM OF SPEECH IN THE AGE OF JIHAD MEDIA BIAS

On Twitter, James Queally of the Los Angeles Times (james.queally@latimes.com) calls himself an “alleged crime fiction author.” He should add “alleged journalist.” He has published a vicious hit piece entitled “These are some of the controversial extremists expected to be outside the GOP convention.”

In it, he lumps me in as an “extremist” with the likes of vile groups such as the Westboro Baptist Church and the New Black Panther Party.

Here I am putting my life on the line standing in defense of our most basic freedoms, and this elitist thug — at the venerable Los Angeles Times — throws me in with the worst of the worst. This kind of smear is breathtaking not only in its viciousness, but in its myopia. The real hater, the real extremist is this “writer,” defaming me for standing for the freedom of speech, upon which his profession is based. He writes:

Pamela Geller, the sponsor of a Texas contest that erupted in violence after people were called on to draw the Muslim prophet Mohammed, rounds out the league’s list of planned attendees. Geller is perhaps best known for her vocal opposition to a Muslim community center that was set to be constructed near the site of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City. Several other anti-Muslim commentators also are expected.

From this, if you didn’t know better, you’d think people at our event became violent. In fact, the “Texas contest” didn’t “erupt in violence.” The quisling Queally doesn’t dare say so, but the only “eruption” of violence at the event came from Muslims. Islamic jihadists attacked our event, enraged that we were violating sharia blasphemy law, and tried to murder me and everyone else who was there. Nor did I call on people to draw the “Muslim prophet Mohammed.” It was an art exhibit in defense of free speech, in defense of the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists who were brutally massacred for drawing Muhammad. How is that wrong? Queally would have us surrender and not draw Muhammad because Muslims will kill us for doing so — he advocates, in other words, surrender and submission.

He also says that I am “perhaps best known for [my] vocal opposition to a Muslim community center that was set to be constructed near the site of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City.” Right. I was right then, right to stop the construction of a victory mosque at Ground Zero, and if anything proves it, it is what has happened in the five years since then: five years of blood, carnage, slaughter, oppression in the cause of Islamic supremacism and conquest.

I am fighting for the likes of James Queally to say what they will. But that doesn’t mean I won’t call them out on their libels and smears.

Write to Queally at james.queally@latimes.com and @JamesQueallyLAT and let him know, politely and courteously, what you think of his “journalism.”
