Pamela Geller's New Anti-Islam Ad Invokes "Savages," Totally Not Racist

Pamela Geller is not a racist. Sure, there may be some who take the message of her group Stop! The Islamization Of America, to mean "Muslims rape babies," but by and large Geller believes that everyone who agrees with her should be treated equal. After submitting a subway ad to the MTA's media company over a week ago, Geller still hasn't heard back. "I will sue. It's a free speech issue," Geller tells the Daily News. Why block this one? She's run ads before, what's so terrible about this—oh.

On her blog, Geller writes:

Everyone is shocked (shocked, I tell ya) by the use of the word savage for savages. The targeting of civilians is savage. The relentless 60-year campaign of terror against the Jewish people is savage...But we are supposed to tiptoe around the savages, so as not to enflame the savages.

Yeah! Why is everyone shocked at the word "savage?" Or the phrase "war between the civilized man and the savage?" It's not as if that phrase has ever been used in history to suppress minorities or advance theories of white supremacy. Nope. The only thing "savage" about the ad is how it looks compared to the Pro-Palestinian one being run. Indeed, Geller needs to fire that "wild-looking and inhospitable; uncultivated" graphic designer.

    It is true.Muslims are savages.Islam is stuck in the 7th century AD.The Faria Law is the set of laws that ruled the Dark Ages.No matter what anybody says,Islam (I have the Koran and have read it) prescribed for "infidels"(that you and me) that do not want to convert to the religion is "death".Even so, if muslims need you to work for them,as they did in Spain for 700 years,one is treated as a second class person with few rights and extra taxes.In the 700 years that muslims ruled Spain if one wanted to build a church or synagogue one had to get permition from the local imam.If after finish the imam liked the building it was taken for Islam without compensation.If that is not slavery for the spaniards,I do not know what slavery is.By the way,spanish girls were for the usage of the muslim men with no retribution.Disgusting.Thanfully to 4 battles that Islam lost, (The Battle of Tours,the Battle of Granada,the Battle of Lepanto and the Basttle at the Walls of Vienna) muslims do to rule Europe and so the United StatesYes,study Islam and its Faria Law and yes you'll arrive at the conclusion that,they are savages.

    Wow. you're such an idiot that you have to invent pseudo facts and make up words.  Go read history for yourself instead of believing what hatemongers feed you.

  • I wonder if liberals can explain why the MTA had no problem with ads from Siraj Wahhaj, an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 WTC attacks and Holy Land Foundation trial.

    pam geller is a dual citizen of israel/us and a member of the zionist organization of america and aipac, why not preface these j-ewish planted pieces in our media with those facts? or would that defeat the purpose of the anti muslim hate propaganda meant to influence americans to hate israels enemies. in post ww1 weimar germany j-ews controlled the media also and would routinely dispariage catholics with vile propaganda pieces. Pam, we want a story about the "dancing israelis on 9-11" or the you tube video of j-ews spitting on american christians visiting israel . oh that doesnt fit with the plan huh,you and your ilk are traitors to america who think your "ground zero mosque" and phony"they hate your freedom" lies will make us continue to send our boys to die invading israels enemies,btw GOOGLE "200 J-EWISH SPIES ARRESTED CONNECTED TO 9-11" they should have been shot in public as a message to ALL j-ews who think about harming america for israel. to all you j-ew scuumm posting your anti muslim crap, get out of america you are human garbage

    Nope, nothing savage about a culture that keeps women oppressed and stones them to death when they break the rules.  But it's their culture and we're not allowed to have opinions on it. 

  • darkdrseuss

    Well you said the keyword there buddy, culture, not religion. She's attacking the religion. If you want to attack the Wahabi culture and their oppressive ways, I'd be with you. But if you're going to attack my faith which does not justify these actions, then it becomes a wee bit problematic for me. 

  • Guest

    The culture is based on the religion. Yes, the bad ones interpret the Quran differently, but there's really no way to confuse, "Non-believers are infidels," right? Who needs to justify their actions, unless the actions are illegal? She owes you nothing and she's entitled to her opinion as you're entitled to yours.

    Pamela Geller is a great lady and has more guts than all the hatefilled comments about her and her great mission.

  • Whether or not you agree with her messages...the MTA should not be the one deciding what political viewpoints get placed on the buses. Allow all viewpoints, or allow none---but don't pick-and-choose.

    If Geller's ad is rejected, and the New York Civil Liberties Union isn't offering to rep her (unless Geller says that she has someone else)...something's wrong.

  • Guest

    The MTA SHOULD be deciding, considering they own the trains and buses.  They can deny whatever advertisements they want. They owe you or her nothing.

  • This from the same MTA that had no problem with Siraj Wahhaj.

  • Guest

    I'm not saying they're right or wrong, but it's their business which ads get onto their property. People act as if it's a constitutional right to advertise on the subway.

  • AlbertoinDumbo

    After the execution of Troy Davis, an innocent man, it's obvious that we are the savages.

  • Park_ing

    She's more of a bitch than Ayn Rand herself

  • santijose

    we need to get rid of religion all together. go back to worshiping nature. no one group chosen by any God as being the ONES.

  • Guest

    Oh good, placing an ad on the subway is totally not 'tip toeing' either! 

    Tell that to Israeli police on duty, or if you're really feeling like some absolutist who has a stranglehold on the truth, why not go  fight these savages yourself (Israel has female soldiers)? Where is your sense of moral compass, allowing these savages to run amok? The best you could come up with is an ad, in New York City? 

    And you ask why the rest of us are tip toeing while you're the queen of tip toeing? Pfft, troll toll.

  • After Israel, the largest concentration of Jews in the world is in Greater New York.

  • JoanAngelson

    Muslim men rape other muslim men. 

  • JoanAngelson

    All religion is bullshit! Anyone who allows their children to go into a Catholic Church is sick.

  • Mr Mel

    "Muslims rape babies,"

    They don't do that they just kill them.
