Pamela Geller doesn't much care for Islam (or, after being interviewed by Russell, BrandX). On her blog, Atlas Shrugs, she daily reports on crimes allegedly committed by Muslims – and only Muslims – wherever in the world they might be, painting a picture for her largely white and scared suburban audience of a world where swarthy Others are hell bent on the global imposition of Sharia law. Fathers, watch your daughters: Muhammed's coming to town and he wants her to wear a burka.
The odd, weird, curious thing about Pamela's Islamophobia, though, is that while she'll own it in front of a bunch of flag-waving Tea Partiers protesting a mosque, she'll back away from it in front of a crowd of young Hollywood liberals. Indeed, the way she spoke during her appearance on BrandX, you'd almost think she didn't want to turn the Middle East to glass.
Here are a few examples of how Hollywood Pamela differed from the attention-seeking jingo we've all come to know and love:
Russell: “Do you believe America would be better off without any Muslims?”
Pamela: “No.”
ACTUALLY. In her book, Stop the Islamization of America – a-fucking-hem – Pamela argues that the threat facing America is posed “not just [by] immigrant Muslims, the problem is the doctrine of jihad and the ideology of Islamic supremacism, which any Muslim anywhere can hold.”
Russell: “Pamela, should we have a war . . . with Iran? Should we do a war right at them?”
Pamela: “No.”
ACTUALLY. On her blog, Pamela has written, “Iran should be attacked today and their people liberated from their misery.”
Russell: “Do you believe President Obama supports jihad against America?”
Pamela: “Only in Libya. . . . [He's] not pro-jihad.”
ACTUALLY. On her blog, Pamela has written that “one thing is for sure: [Barack] Hussein [Obama] is a muhammadan. He's not insane ...........he wants jihad to win.”
SPECIAL BONUS FEATURE: When asked about Anders Breivik – “that bloke in Norway who was a bit mental and he killed children to express himself,” as Russell put it – Pamela, one of Breivik's favorite bloggers, called him a “madman.” However, on her blog Pamela described the summer camp targeted by Breivik as an "Antisemitic Indoctrination Training Center” with a “pro-Islamic agenda,” arguing that the 77 people murdered there were not entirely innocent:
“Breivik was targeting the future leaders of the party responsible for flooding Norway with Muslims who refuse to assimilate, who commit major violence against Norwegian natives, including violent gang rapes, with impunity, and who live on the dole... all done without the consent of the Norwegians.”Nice lady.
I'll take your transcript at face value without watching the video. I've been trying to cut down on my gag-induction intake of late.
ReplyDeleteHahaha you are seriously contrasting what answers (sounds?) she could produce in between Russels barrage of allegations as actual answers? You framed her and did a hatched job on her.
ReplyDeleteAnd dont make fun of something as serious as the sexual intimidation,discrimination and harrasment of uncovered woman by Muslim males.Woman and girls are litterly dying because of Islamic hijab (covering) also increasingly in the USA.I wont even start on Norway and the social,political realities and dynamics in that country as I doubt you can even locate it on a map.
ReplyDeleteThe reality of life in the Middle East, especially for non-Muslims, speaks for itself. The reality of Islamic atrocities and insurgencies all over the world speak for themselves.
ReplyDeleteThe reality of American drone attacks, corporate environmental degradation, and wars of terror, speaks for itself. The reality of deaths due directly to Americna bombing in the name of geopolitics and a sociopathic need to rule the world speaks for themselves.
ReplyDeleteHow many hajis, or Hondurans, or Iraqis or Afghanis or Nicaraguans or Vietnamese have you killed today or during your lifetime, Jonny-the-Bloody?
No Brian. I'll give the Muslims credit for not hating themselves, like you do. You're just hanging on to the rear bumper of the Hate America movement, being dragged down the road.
ReplyDeleteHaven't killed anyone by the way. But I helped deliver a lot of food to hungry people in Somalia, Rwanda, Zaire, Russia and Indonesia. Not to mention medical relief to the Phillipines and American mid West.
