Muslim Mastermind Behind Muhammad Art Exhibit Massacre in Garland, Texas Gets 30 Years

By Pamela Geller / THE GELLER REPORT

The American Muslim convert who plotted to assassinate me and slaughter everyone who attended our free speech event in Garland, Texas got 30 years today at his sentencing hearing in Texas. We were targeted for death in the first ISIS attack on American soil because we violated the free speech prohibitions under Islamic law.

This attack was a declaration of war in the homeland. Abdul Malik Abdul Kareem should have gotten a life sentence at Gitmo.

Freedom of speech is the foundation of a free society. Without it, a tyrant can wreak havoc unopposed, while his opponents are silenced.

Islamic law forbids criticism of Islam, Quran, Muhammad. If they cannot be criticized in the US, we are in effect accepting Islamic law as overriding the freedom of speech. This would establish Muslims as a protected class and prevent honest discussion of how Islamic jihadists use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence and supremacism.

The Muhammad cartoons are a flash point in the discussion about free speech because according to Islamic law they are blasphemy, punishable by death. Many have been killed over them. At issue is whether we will protect those who draw them and exhibit them, and thereby protect free speech and free society, or censor ourselves and others over them, thereby in effect adopting Sharia.
