Controversial Blogger Planned To Speak at Far Right Protest
By Liam Hoare
London — Pamela Geller, the controversial anti-Islam blogger and activist infamous for her staunch criticism and denigration of Islam, has been banned from entering the United Kingdom by Home Secretary Theresa May.
In a two-page letter which Geller uploaded onto her blog, Atlas Shrugs, the Home Office informed Geller that has been “excluded from the UK” on the basis that her “presence here would not be conducive to the public good.” Her previous history indicated to the Home Secretary that Geller may attempt to “foster hatred which might lead to inter-community violence in the UK.”
Below the letter in her blogpost, Geller reacted to the decision:
In a striking blow against freedom, the British government has banned us from entering the country. Muhammad al-Arifi, who has advocated Jew-hatred, wife-beating, and jihad violence, entered the U.K. recently with no difficulty. In not allowing us into the country solely because of our true and accurate statements about Islam, the British government is behaving like a de facto Islamic state. The nation that gave the world the Magna Carta is dead.
Geller and her co-founder of Stop Islamisation of America (SIOA), Robert Spencer, who has also been banned from entering the UK, had been due to attend and speak at a rally in Woolwich organized by the English Defense League, the far-right movement which purports to share with Geller a mutual concern over the Islamisation of Europe, on Saturday, June 29. “Today is a sad day for freedom of speech,” EDL leader Tommy Robinson stated after Geller announced her ban.
It was in Woolwich that on May 22, the soldier Lee Rigby was murdered by two assailants armed with knives and a meat cleaver. One of the suspects, Michael Adebolajo, justified the action by stating that, “The only reason we have killed this man today is because Muslims are dying daily by British soldiers.” Since the attack, several mosques and Islamic community centers across Britain have been desecrated with graffiti, including swastikas and the letters EDL and NF. On June 23, a small explosive device was left outside a mosque in Walsall, near Birmingham.
In a statement, a Home Office spokesman said: ‘We condemn all those whose behaviors and views run counter to our shared values and will not stand for extremism in any form.’
Under British legal provisions introduced in 2005 to combat terrorism and extremism, the Border Agency under the auspices of the Home Office has the power to either deport or deny entry to non-UK citizens who engage in “unacceptable behaviors.” This covers people who use the media or public speech to “foment, justify or glorify terrorist violence in furtherance of particular beliefs, seek to provoke others to terrorist acts, foment other serious criminal activity or seek to provoke others to serious criminal acts, or foster hatred which might lead to inter-community violence in the UK.”
On the basis of Geller’s work with SIOA, Jihad Watch, and Atlas Shrugs, as well as her previous public statements, the Home Secretary personally deemed that if she were to “espouse such views” in the UK, Geller “would be committing unacceptable behaviors and would therefore be behaving in a way that is not conducive to the public good.”

To the Left wing telling the truth about radical Islam is “Controversial”. About six weeks ago Pam Geller was scheduled to speak at a synagogue in Great Neck, NY., having been invited by the men’s club. Left wing Jews and Islamic organizations protested. The synagogue’s rabbi held fast for weeks but finally cancelled the speaking engagement after another Great Neck synagogue threatened to hold a demonstration outside his facility. The local Great neck Chabad then invited her to speak at their facility instead. The place was packed and there was even a jumbo screen outside those who could not get in. To add insult and more controversy the left wing editor of one of our local papers wrote an article falsely claiming that very few people showed up to listen to Ms. Geller. The left wing Jews claim that Ms. Geller is hateful for telling the truth about radical Islam. It is these left wing Jews who are truly hateful, have their heads stuck firmly in the sand, and refuse to hear any other opinion but theirs. They still, even after the holocaust, think that if we are nice to the Nazis, they might be nice to us. Pam Geller and Robert Spencer are heroes. We all wait for Muslims to loudly and publicly reject violent radical Islam……still waiting

I totally agree with Norm. Might I also add that Pamela Geller is attractive, articulate, and tough. She reflects the true feelings of most Americans and has the cahoonies to say it. For that alone, she represents everything Islam and liberalism hate.
The UK has a history of banning folks with opposing views. Take, for instance, Michael Savage. He and Geller are very much alike. They both represent a threat to the leftist movement in this world and both are rejected by the UK.
Meanwhile the left in the UK and elsewhere continue to threaten the very foundations of Christianity, Judism, freedom, democracy, and liberty in every corner of this planet. Yes, I do agree with Michael Savage when he says, “Liberalism is a mental disorder”.
Well said Norm.

One more point. It might explain why Norm is still waiting for Muslims to reject radical Islam. Here’s the mathematical proof in one simple formula:
Where I=Islam and RI=Radical Islam then I=RI.

From broader perspective, this report is not off topic.
Here is my formula:
Liberalism+ Multi-culturalism+ Political correctness+ Cultural Relativism+ Austro-centric Eroticism + Petro-dollar+ Islamism+ Anti-Semitism=====>Destruction of Western Civilization

Good formula Kayvan. We could refine it a bit if we took the left side of the equation, put it all in parentheses and raise it to the power of ‘evil’.

Thanks Steve. I have heard Ms. Geller speak on a half dozen occasions and she only tells the truth. She is also supported by brave Muslims who stand against violent radical Islam, and she knows that.

I don’t know enough about Ms Geller to comment on her and I am not belittling the danger of radical Islam, but the EDL are a bunch of brainless thugs, who despise anything not white and wouldn’t know a Jew from a Muslim to save their lives. Nor a synagogue from a mosque. Worse, they wouldn’t care.
Her message would be misunderstood and seen as a clarion call;
“Cry ‘havoc’ and let slip the dogs of war.”
