“Pamela Geller Defies Fatwa in Florida”by Gerald Lostutter
“I have been the target of death threats, [and] multiple assassination plots,” said Pamela Geller, explaining her book’s title, Fatwa. “It is a death sentence … A legal ruling … under Islam.”
Geller spoke via Skype during a meeting of Act Space Coast, a chapter of Act for America, held in Viera, Florida, on Nov. 14, 2017.
Printed below are some of Geller’s quotes, reorganized as a summary; as well as her answers to a few questions from the audience:
PG: The biggest fight is for the freedom of speech. Freedom of speech is the foundation of a free society. Without it, a tyrant can wreak havoc unopposed as his opponents are silenced. Putting up with being offended is essential in a pluralistic society. And when people differ on bases of truth. If a group will not bend without resorting to violence, that group will rule unopposed.
PG: Islamophobia is a term that amounts to nothing more than the enforcement of the Sharia in the marketplace of ideas. Any criticism of jihad terror that examines its ideological roots in Islam is called Islamophobia. The word is used to intimidate people into thinking there is something wrong with opposing jihad terror.
