FATWA: Hunted in America

by Pamela Geller, Geert Wilders (Foreword)

Her critics have called her 'the most dangerous woman in America,' 'far-right hate queen,' and 'the anti-Muslim movement's most visible and flamboyant figurehead.' Her admirers say she is 'the Joan of Arc of the counter-jihad movement,' 'one of the top world experts in radical Islam, sharia, and Islamic supremacism,' and 'a wonderful fighter for liberty.' Now, in Hunted in America, Pamela Geller tells her own story of how she became one of the world's foremost activists for the freedom of speech, individual rights, and equality of rights for all. With the slicing wit and piercing insight that have characterized all her work, Pamela Geller here recounts her unlikely journey from New York City career girl to indomitably fearless human rights activist, reviled by the enemies of freedom the world over. 'I assumed my freedom,' she writes. 'Never for one moment did I think that it could be taken from me. But all that changed on one day.' That day was September 11, 2001, when on a beautiful, bright blue sunny morning, the global jihad struck in America with terrifying and murderous force. The United States of America and the free world as a whole would never be the same again. Neither would Pamela Geller. In this book, Geller tells the whole extraordinary story of how she began chronicling her take on news events at her groundbreaking website Atlas Shrugs, then moved into activism, at first on behalf of Muslim girls who were being brutalized and victimized at home for not following the misogynistic rules of Islamic law, and then to stand against the advance of jihad and sharia on numerous fronts -- above all for the freedom of speech, which is increasingly embattled in this age of jihad. It's all Geller recounts the battle to defeat the sinister Ground Zero mosque project; the ISIS attack at Geller's Mohammed Art Exhibit and Cartoon Contest in Garland, Texas; the fatwa issued to her and plot to behead her; and much more including the relentless vilification from a mainstream media hell-bent on defaming and destroying everyone who stands for freedom against jihad terror and sharia oppression. Pamela Geller 'Any lover of freedom would have been tarred the same way I was, and many have been. I am but a proxy in this terrible, long war. What has happened to me is what happens, in small and large ways, to every American who stands for freedom.' Yet, as shown in this book, she has prevailed. Without Pamela Geller, there would be a 16-story mega-mosque at Ground Zero today. Without Pamela Geller, untold numbers of young women who are living free today instead would have been victims of honor killings. Without Pamela Geller, countless numbers of indefatigable fighters for freedom would have been cowed and intimidated into silence by an increasingly violent and authoritarian left-wing agenda. If this book is proof of anything, it's that one person can make a difference. And what a remarkable difference Pamela Geller has made. At last, in Hunted In America, she tells her story.

This book is an eye-opener. The only reason that I am not giving it 5 stars is that it is quite repetitive and reading it after a certain point becomes tedious.

I really can’t say much about it, other than sharing some of my favorite quotes.



“America is not the only good thing in the world, but it is the best thing in the world.”

“In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man.”

“The media operate under the narcissistic assumption that if they don’t report it, it didn’t happen.”

“Freedom of speech doesn’t apply only if you like the message; it applies to everyone. And if it is gone, so is a free society.”

“The United States of America is the most charitable nation on earth.”

“While Islamic Spain is held up today as a proto-multiculturalist paradise, in reality non-Muslims there suffered under the discrimination prescribed in Islamic law for dhimmis, non-believers who were subjugated as inferiors and denied equality of rights.”

[M.A. McRae · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a very important book to read, and I recommend it. At the same time, it does become a little tedious in parts as the author goes into detail about the numerous times she has spoken out, and by one method or other, has been silenced. And yet, the sheer repetition rams home her point that freedom of speech is under enormous threat.
Pamela Geller routinely sees terrible threats made against her. She speaks about Islam, and even when she uses direct quotes from the Koran to illustrate her points, because it is a non Muslim who quotes them, suddenly they are 'hate speech.'
I do hope that Pamela survives the threats to her life and her safety, and is able to continue to spread her vitally important message.

“We need to go to war against the left. We have to get that into our heads. We have to except that terrible reality. They want to destroy our freedom. They want to destroy our country. They want to steal our children. That’s war. There is no one on the right who has the correct philosophy about this. The left demands the right to lie, and they are lying to the American people on a massive scale, even to the extent of making people think there’s something wrong with loving and defending our nation.”

This is the kind of eye opening book we here in the west need to wake us up to the dangers of Jihad. To the dangers we face as well as the dangers our children and grandchildren will face. I️ agree with Mrs. Geller, the time to fight is upon us, there is no denying that hard fact. We are surrounded by insidious creatures who wish to do us harm and take away our freedoms, I’ve witnessed this first hand for myself. I️ recommend this book if you are looking to find out about Islam and what you’re up against in this battle. A very good read 🇺🇸

Review: Fatwa Hunted in America

Pamela Geller begins by describing her carefree life in New York City before 9/11. She never considered the possibility of losing her freedom in such a wonderful country as America..."No country was better to its Jews."
(I had the same feelings of freedom but it took me many more years to truly awaken.)
For Pamela it pretty much changed overnight.
In her first chapter she speaks about her early life—"I loved Brooklyn. I would sneak out, take the car and go to jazz clubs and discos...late at night,"—but she soon started a website "Atlas Shrugs" (later became the Geller Report) and so began the ugly, vile, attacks from the left.
So quickly.
Chapter 3 talks about the Muslim girls who just wanted the freedom to do what they wanted. Heartbreaking to read..."honor killed" by their family, their father, their brother. Aqsa Parves was murdered for refusing to wear the hijab. When Aqsa continued to refuse, her father and brother decided to kill her. The brother asked an American friend to get him a gun.
The friend didn't, so Aqsa's brother simply strangled her.
Aqsa's entire story is told, and there are other named American Muslim girl victims.
Every year thousands of women and girls are honor-killed, most by Muslims.
Chapter 4 talks of the Ground Zero mosque. Imagine, a 16-story monstrosity going up at Ground Zero. The reason: the presence of a mosque asserts a triumphal victory. There are thousands of "triumphal" mosques all over the Islamic world. Pamela led the charge that stopped the Ground Zero mosque. "President Obama, Mayor Bloomberg, legions of craven politicians and a sharia-compliant, jackbooted media," were very upset.
Chapter 5 examines our meat supply. For years Butterball served halal turkey until 2012 when Pamela brought it to national attention.
It gets worse.
Meat and poultry are being slaughtered under halah rules but only a small portion is labeled "halal," meaning we likely unknowingly are bowing to Islam.
Much of Pamela's book is related to her ad-wars. Whenever Jew-hatred, Islamophobia, honor killing, or other hate-filled ads would appear on the sides of buses or billboards, she would develop a rebuttal ad, but the odds were against her. Rather than publish hers the media would simply change the rules, like "no more political ads." Many times she fought these "people" in court and often won to get her ad published.
But if the rules were changed then the jihadis didn't get their ad either.
In Chapter 6 (about halfway through) she describes her visits with Zuhdi Jasser (a suit-wearing jihadi if I ever saw one.) The man is a professional doctor, specializing internal medicine. Is he a "moderate?" In my mind (like the leader of Turkey) no such thing as a "moderate" Muslim. I think Zuhdi Jasser is the type who will lie and lie with a straight face in order to further the goal of Islam.
(To moderate a bit, I do feel sorry for the Muslim people. To leave Islam they face apostasy [death] so it's easier for them to do what their leadership tells them and stay with Islam, meaning a billion and a half people are living in 7th Century ideological slavery.)
It seems 9/11 was not the beginning but just another step in the silent takedown of America. It started in the 1960s "...with the success of the violent Berkley student rebellion in 1964..." The left began stepping in and taking over. (I didn't notice. I was naive, busy in the navy, with no thought of rebelling against the American leftist powers-that-be.)
Ross, North Dakota (my state) 1929, saw the first mosque built in nearly the center of North America. Was that the plan right then, a good place to spread the Islamic tentacles? The Muslim Brotherhood was founded in Egypt in 1928; the first Bro-hood organization was the MSAs (Muslim Student Associations) founded in the early 1960s. The first MSA appeared at the U of Illinois and spread quickly through American colleges (highschools too) which produced professionals ready to step into all American culture from academia to politics, education, religion, and on and on.
Way before 9/11 very likely the Bro-hood worked with the hijackers and had a plan to control the narrative right from the start, like when President Bush nearly immediately referred to Islam as a "...religion of peace."
What rings and rings and rings in Pamela's book—to me, at least—is, don't offend or anger Muslims because innocent people could get hurt (and DO, regularly) just stay quiet and you'll be okay—what BS!
Often/usually the media (what Pamela refers to as the enemedia and their lapdogs) not only doesn't tell the whole story, sometimes outright lies, and gives voice to pro-sharia and pro-jihad and to hell with the victim. Sometimes her descriptions make me bust right out laughing, like referring to the New York Daily News as "deranged" "left wing." I especially like "deranged."
To end this review I will quote Pamela:
"This is ultimately not about me; it is about whether America will stand for freedom or surrender.
"I don't want to die, but I will not live as a slave."
****
Pamela Geller, live forever.

It was ok to read, but major victim complex happening here/ego trip. Also, she reported on an event in London that I remember happening completely differently, which made me realise that she sees everything through her lens of "us versus them" and will fit every situation to it.

Her example was when an advertisement featuring a bikini-clad woman was purportedly banned from the London Tube. Geller's explanation for this was that the Mayor of London is Muslim, and therefore didn't want there to be a woman in a bikini on an advert. The story as I remember it unfolding was different. The advert in question attracted widespread criticism because it suggested that women were not "beach body ready" until they were as skinny as the model. Women protested by posting pictures of themselves in their bikinis next to the advert, basically saying "yep, I'm beach body ready just as I am". The ad was criticised not for showing a woman in a bikini, but for suggesting that only certain body types of women could wear a bikini, and Sadiq Khan responded to that.

This made me question the other anecdotes in her book. Which ones were true cases of discrimination, or overreach of religious minorities? Hard to say.

It was good to read though, as an exercise in understanding how some people in the states understand the world at the moment.

This is the type of book that I could only read in spurts. Not because it was badly written, but because it read like a text book at times with all the notes, and there were a lot. The nerd in me insisted I look up almost all of them, so it took me a long time to finish this book. Also, I don’t care how much I like an author, I like to see where they get their facts.

I came away with an enormous amount of respect for the author. She’s been lied about and smeared. In my opinion she’s a hero. A lesser person would have collapsed under the many hate campaigns. She could have continued to live a very comfortable life, flitting through her active social life. But she took a stand and has paid dearly. God bless you Ms. Geller. You have been added to my prayer list.

Seems unbelievable but sadly rings true...An incredible story of courage and conviction in the face of overwheling opposition, hard to believe it happened in the USA, and that author continues to suffer persecution for her work against oppression and fanatical religious intolerance. Reminds this reader of Harriet Beecher Stowe, the little lady who freed the slaves with a powerful book—her truth goes marching on...

Every American / “Freedom loving citizen “ NEEDS to read this book. Share it with a friend. Buy a copy. Go to the library and rent it. Donate them to neighborhood mini book case.

When it comes to the issue of terrorism, especially Islamic terrorism, there is a divide between the leftist liberals and the conservative right. The right calling groups exclaiming that the main motivation for these terrorist is their religious scriptures and that Islam is a religion of violence.on the left's pundits will say it is a result of American policy or poverty. Recently there were stories in the news about ISIS brides that wanted to come back to the states. I say no way, the leftist have other opinions. This my drift toward the right.
Pamela Geller has her moment of awakening after 9/11. It was then that she realized that the followers of Islam wanted to overtake the world and that the Muslims here have no intention of adapting to our way of life. I would say in part that I disagree, there are Muslims that do not wish to assimilate to our way of life, but it is the fanatics that we must worry about.
Sighting three instances of honor killing, Pamela Geller goes on in some detail about how she was killed and how the authorities bungled the investigation out of fear for offending Muslims. Pamela Geller wanted to set up a gravestone for Aqsa Parviz but the family and local Muslim community and the family out up road blocks. They finally put up a plaque for her in Jerusalem and one in Canada. Rifka Berry wanted to convert from islam to Christianity. Her family threatened to kill her. She was only safe in a pastor's house. Rifka did not go home she was sent to a juvenile detention center. Another woman named Jessica Sodeghay was brutally murdered By her step father. Honor killing are usually done if the daughter dishonored the family. They are happening and the authorities are not handling it correctly. The press is silencing it for fear of offending the Muslim community in general. In fact it is in Pamela Gellers view that the left and part of the right have been co opted by the Muslims. In fact the system.had been compromised.
Heller goes on to narrate how different conservative convention won't book her or hear her views because they fear she is too Islamophobic. Others like her state she is speaking the truth.The ultimate truth might lye somewhere in between. Truth be told she is being blacklisted and prevented from speaking and expressing her self. Transit authorities will not let her advertisements go up . Some of these ads promoted Israel, helped people leave islam and were some times critical of Islam. But the other side is just as bad if not worse. That is just hypocrisy.
On Facebook it is especially true anti Israel and antisemitism flourishes and social media does nothing is done about it. Criticise a terror group and you are off. Pamela Heller maintains that Islam has values that are not compatible with Western society, but then again so do all religions. It is fanatics like al quaida, Isis, Hezbollah and Hamas that represent the threat. Most Muslims want nothing to do with these guys. But Saudi money funds their mosques with the help of several organizations like CAIR. Their followers get in. While most Muslims are peaceful why was isis able to storm across Iraq and Syria genociding the region's Christians and Yezidis?

Excellent

I couldn't put the book down,she knows the facts and she tells it like it is.If MUSLIMS want to come legally to the USA,I love you as a Christian and as long as you follow our laws,I am with you. Leave your Sharia at home or stay in your country. WE already have enough problems.Most people that come here are hard working and just want to raise their family's and have a better life.

This type of censorship shouldn't happen in the US, but it certainly does! Whether you agree with her or not, she is allowed to speak her mind. Social media Giants clearly discriminate against those they don't agree with (conservatives), and the leftist media follows the same pattern. It's a sad day when people are afraid to speak truth because they fear retribution form jihadists. Sad, indeed. Hopefully my review isn't removed. Well worth the $ and read!

It should be required reading in every secondary and college school, because it informs the various fronts on the war to prevent the islamization of America. To be forewarned we can prevent what is happening to Europe.

[Dwayne Roberts · Rating 3 out of 5]

Important information, but the book is somewhat repetitive, a litany of offenses. It's a call to action, but it lacks some fundamental reasons (e.g., WHY is freedom of speech important? It doesn't seem important to Islam, the left, the press, or indeed to modern western governments.). If you fill in these missing pieces yourself, it's definitely worth the read.

ANOTHER ATTACK ON ISLAMIC NATIONS, AND A PLEA FOR ‘FREE SPEECH’

Author and conservative activist (and fan of Ayn Rand) Pamela Geller wrote in the first chapter of this 2017 book, “On May 5, 2015, ISIS issued this fatwa calling for me to be killed… ‘Our aim was the khanzeer [pig] Pamela Geller and to show her that … we will send all our Lions to achieve her slaughter...’ This was my career in microcosm. I spoke unwelcome truths, and first my character was assassinated, and then the enemies of freedom moved to outright call for my assassination. It was all because I stood for the freedom of speech. I had no regrets. How could I, for standing for what was right?” (Pg. 1)

She recounts her reaction to 9/11: “My phone rang. My husband told me to turn on the television… The World Trade Center was burning… I stood in front of my TV, paralyzed. And when the Towers came down… I wept for the people in the building…. I knew my old life was over when those towers came down. War came to America… The images shook me to the core of my being: the unimaginable destruction, the office workers jumping out of the building, preferring a quick death to a slow and agonizing one…Who had attacked my country? … when I found out, I felt guilty that I didn’t know who this enemy really was, what they stood for, and why they wanted to destroy my country. My journey began.” (Pg. 7-10)

She explains, “And while there are moderate and more secular Muslims. I am hardly concerned with them. Nor am I compelled to applaud them. I do not have to pat on the back every Muslim who does not want to kill me. I expect that… The idea that one should praise them speaks to the soft bigotry of low expectations when it comes to Western dealing with Muslims. It’s just absurd.” (Pg. 13)

She recalls, “I started a website, naming it ‘Atlas Shrugs’ after Ayn Rand’s towering novel, ‘Atlas Shrugged,’ and began offering my own commentary on news events. It seemed to me the perfect moniker. Those familiar with the masterwork would immediately understand my political philosophy and sense of life. Those who hadn’t read [the book], I hoped would be encouraged to… What happens if Atlas shrugs? The world would fall down.” (Pg. 14)

She states, “Muslims are responsible for 91% of honor killings worldwide. Islamic law specifies that
… [one is] ‘not subject to retaliation’ [of] ‘a father or mother … for killing their offspring, or offspring’s offspring.’ Muslims who kill their children are not subject to the penalty for murder, and Jordan, Syria and several other Muslim countries have reduced penalties for honor killings.” (Pg. 36)

She recounts, “The Ground Zero Mosque story is the first news of not only national but international proportions that dominated the headlines… without the propulsion of the mainstream media… The people drove that story… The mainstream media began to blame me for the conflict… They would put me on and let me speak. Of course, they always had some Islamic supremacist liar on to destroy me, but they never could… I faced off against … ACLU and civil rights lawyers who took their shots at me on Hannity… There were skirmishes with … the Islamic Society of North America… and CAIR’s Los Angeles chapter… it was a unique opportunity for counter-jihadists. Right after 9/11, the media didn’t have its story straight either, and there were moments where you heard and saw things you would never hear or see now.” (Pg. 43-44) [The Mosque/Islamic Center was never built.]

Of meat produced according to Halal [Islamic law], she comments, ‘Labelling is untruthful when key facts are omitted. Consumers have the right to choose for themselves if they want to eat ritually slaughtered products… Just as those who buy meat and poultry products labeled halal or kosher should have a reasonable expectation that the meat they’re buying was actually produced in that manner, so also those of us who don’t want to eat halal meat for whatever reason should have a reasonable assurance that meat not labeled halal was not actually slaughtered in accordance with sharia rules. As halal slaughter continues to be practiced in the US… the likelihood of unknowingly buying meat sacrificed under the present system also increases. This is a matter of simple justice and common sense.” (Pg. 56-57)

She is critical of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC): “Apparently it is official CPAC policy … to avoid and ignore the greatest national security threat to our country---or at best to feature speakers whose analysis is hamstrung by political correctness and ignorance of the subject… The country is deeply concerned about the jihad issue, and yet it is never a significant presence on the CPAC schedule, and they do not allow me space because I criticized their weakness and flabbiness on this very issue in the past… CPAC doesn’t deserve the name ‘Conservative.’ It should be called the ‘Cowards Political Action Conference.’” (Pg. 81-82)

After a ‘moderate’ Muslim commentator pointed out that Geller had not criticized him in previous interviews, she responds, “I do not hate all Muslims… Those ‘positive references’ are years old---prior to my continued reading of Ibn Warraq, Wafa Sultan, et al., and earlier in my study of Islam in the West and in the Muslim world…. Yes, I was more supportive when I was less informed on Islam. We all want to believe in Santy Claus. But avoiding reality is not an option. You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality.” (Pg. 87)

When the New York Times refused to accept an advertisement from her organization, “Even Fox [News’] take on the story was skewed. They called me an anti-Islam activist. I am a counter-jihadist. Why doesn’t the media distinguish between the two?... [Fox] did not address the motive, fear, and sharia behind the Times’s craven hypocrisy. Instead, they focused on the inconsistency of the Times’s accepting one ad and rejecting another, without clearly explaining why or giving the reasons for the inconsistency, which accords with Fox’s increasing tendency not to address this subject matter at all.” (Pg. 105)

She argues, “Many people on both the left and the right were saying… that the prudent thing to do would be to avoid doing things that anger them. But if we did that, they would not stop coming at us… what is the point of asking whether or not we should provoke them? They’re already provoked. A more useful question was whether it was really productive … to signal to them that we would acquiesce to their threats of violence and change our behavior accordingly, or whether we would signal … that their violent threats were not going to frighten us into submission.” (Pg. 126)

Of other bus ads that were rejected, she comments, “Time and time again, various city officials and dictatorial bureaucrats censored or banned outright our ads of truth and freedom, while allowing the most fallacious and libelous anti-Jewish, pro-jihad ads to run… This was essentially soft sharia enforcement: the prohibition of any criticism of Islam and of anything offensive to Islam and Muslim sensibilities… time and time again, we sued and we won. And time and time again… the fat dictocrats in charge of city transportation agencies squandered tax monies on their legal fees (and ours) while working to abridge our freedoms… While America slept, these rule changes were rendering the First Amendment a dead letter. The stakes couldn’t have been higher.” (Pg. 161-162)

She argues, “Putting up with being offended is essential in a pluralistic society in which people differ on basic truths. If a group will not stand for being offended without resorting to violence, that group will rule unopposed, while everyone else lives in fear. If they cannot be criticized in the United States, we are in effect accepting Islamic law as overriding the First Amendment. 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. Some say that ‘hate speech’ should be censored. But what constitutes ‘hate speech’ is a subjective judgment that is unavoidably influenced by the political perspective of the one doing the judging.” (Pg. 180-181)

She states, “I am the Islamic States’s target because I am, unlike most of the mainstream media, refusing to bow down to them an submit to their dictates. They want to make an example out of me in order to frighten the rest of the US into silence and submission… I am often asked, ‘Aren’t you afraid?’ Of course, but it is far scarier to do nothing. This is not about me. They mean to kill everyone who doesn’t do their bidding and abide by them voluntarily. This is a showdown for American freedom. Will we stand against this savagery, or bow down to them and silence ourselves?” (Pg. 186)

She comments, “In June 2016, Facebook took down my page and blocked me after a devout Muslim opened fire on a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida… Facebook said they took down my page because of their rule against ‘hateful, obscene, or threatening’ content. But it was not hateful, obscene, or threatening to oppose jihad terror such as we saw in Orlando… What was hateful… was Facebook moving to silence everyone who speaks honestly about the motivating ideology behind such attacks.” (Pg. 201)

She summarizes, “The foundation of my work is individual rights and equality for all before the law. These are the foundational principles of our constitutional republic. That is now considered controversial. Truth is the new hate speech…There has been in inversion of the founding premise of this nation. No longer is it the subordination of might to right, but right to might. History is repeatedly deformed with the bloody consequences of this travesty.” (Pg. 222)

This book is even more strident than her previous work, “Stop the Islamization of America: A Practical Guide to the Resistance.” It will appeal to some, but be firmly rejected by the rest of us.

As a member of nation who has been subject of Muslims "tender ministrations" for 450 years I remember African proverb about leopard and spots. Moderate Muslim is in obvious minority and very well hiding and their counterparts very much in presence! And even if sharia comes on power we boys only have to grow beards and get circumcised and ,yes, pray 5 times a day or somewhere there. But what is in the store for the girls is different story. Are pseudo liberal feminazis ever going to admit that to themselves and those whom they are brain washing? I am not surprised that this book is written by women shocked that medieval practices are going on in 21st century America (and rest of West) supported by pseudo progressive governments.

This is one brave woman, I'm very impressed by her courage and stamina and steadfastness. Wow.
It was great to hear the story read by the author herself.

That being said, the book could have used some more editing, for halfway through it starts feeling repetitive, in the sense that the author keeps giving example after example, anecdote after anecdote, all conveying the same message. The book could have been at least 2 hours shorter, imho. I understand her passion and drive, and the emotion that comes with it, but that's what editors are for after all.

Nevertheless I'm glad I now know her story. Her courageousness is an example to us all.

Add some personality in. Make it exciting, which shouldn't be hard considering the topic.
It's frustrating to see everything she had to go through/is going through in order to just get the truth out there. Her adversaries act like she is touting evil voodoo magic as a real threat instead of the people who put a Fatwa on her head.
