‘Racist Hatemongers?‘ Occupy to Protest ’Islamic Apartheid Conference’

Occupy demonstrators at Temple University in Philadelphia are planning to protest an “Islamic Apartheid Conference” on Monday featuring activist Pamela Geller and sponsored by the David Horowitz Freedom Center.
The conference, billed as a “universal symbol of support and encouragement” for “women, gays [and] religious minorities, including Muslims themselves, who are figuratively and physically imprisoned by Shariah and Islam,” will feature Geller, Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch and activist Nonie Darwish as speakers. The event comes on the heels of an “Israeli Apartheid Week” hosted at the university last month.
To counter it, Occupy Temple is joining with the International Socialist Organization, Students for Justice in Palestine and the Party for Socialism and Liberation for a “multi-racial fightback against these racist hatemongers.”
“Geller is known to her fans and critics alike as ‘Queen of the Muslim Bashers,’” the Facebook page for the protest states. “Her views are by no means within the boundaries of reasonable debate.”
It further describes the David Horowitz Freedom Center as “another anti-Muslim group which uses McCarthyist tactics to attack academic freedom around the country.”
The Council on American Islamic Relations has also added its voice to the situation, with the Philadelphia chapter issuing a statement stating in part: “Hate speech should be relegated to the fringes of our society, not given a platform at a prestigious university.”
For her part, Geller on her blog Atlas Shrugs denounced the protesters as “the army of haters — stormtroopers and brownshirts instructed to disrupt and shut down these meetings of freedom’s defenders and human rights activists.”
“This is what we have come to expect from the fascists at America’s colleges and universities,” Geller wrote. “Subversives (like Bill Ayers) and jihadists (like CAIR and Reza Aslan) are welcomed and paid handsomely, but voices for freedom and human rights activists are hunted down and silenced like…dissidents.”

Posted on April 20, 2012 at 2:57pmYou know, if we instituted Sharia here today, by next year there wouldn’t be many of these “Occupy Temple” type people left. They’d just execute all the openly gay people, put burkas (wtfe) on the women with instructions to STFU and take their keys. And as I understand it they aren’t big fans of the Socialist/Communists either.
Just sayin’.
I live for this kind of irony. It‘s a shame these idiots aren’t smart enough to see it.

Perfectly said. The Occupy morons welcome Farrahkan & CAIR but use the oh so familiar cry of the left, “racism” when they have no ability to win a debate with facts. Occupy is so pathetic.

Posted on April 20, 2012 at 1:48pmBeing a big fan of Robert Spencer for years, I have seen enough of his talks at Universities to know exactly how this will go down. Some stealth jihadist with a nice suit from CAIR will get up and give the same tired old “RACIST!! WAAAAA!!!! We are being picked on! RACIST!!!” type of speech. The students will sit quietly and listen. They will applaud him like some sort of scholar crusading for human rights. Then Robert or Pamalla will go up to the podium… And these students will scream and holler, blow whistles and do all they can to disrupt the event and prevent them from speaking. We are coming to a point where non violence is no longer a viable option. We cannot continue to be the only side playing by the rules. The government and the media only seem to show respect to whoever can install the most fear in them. We don‘t scare them because we don’t riot when ever things don’t go our way. The left, and muslims in particular, riot and commit violence whenever ANYTHING doesn’t go their way. Sometimes even when they do. How do you correct that peacefully? How to get these spineless, brain dead politicians and media whores to stop pandering to these jihadist and communist fools and stop with these double standards? How do we undo the damage of 3 decades of political correctness and multicultualism? It is going to take a lot more than a vote in November. Until Washington and the media fear us more than they fear them, this will continue. Sad but true.

Posted on April 20, 2012 at 1:23pmThis is too funny that it has passed the point to being sad. The same useful idiots who claim to be feminists, equal rights activists, and part of the LGBT movement are standing and fighting for a religion who hates you. Under sharia law, the gay people will have to go back to the closet or face death by decapitation. Feminists, well I ask you this; Do you like to work, drive, leave your home without your male counterpart, and wear what you want? Under sharia, good luck with that. These same protesters keep stating we are in the 21st century, yet fight along side of people who will ultimately take us back to before the dark ages. Irony says it best, or just plain stupidity…

Posted on April 20, 2012 at 11:28amI genuinely love and admire Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer, two of the most courageous people in America.
They are telling the TRUTH about Islam and are fighting daily to bring that truth to the forefront and to the American public. Of course the socialists, C.A.I.R and any and all anti Jewish organizations hate these people and their message.
OWS is comprised of the worst humanity has to offer, they are anti everything good including freedom of speech.
God bless Geller, Spencer and Darwish……….freedom fighters in every sense of the word.

Posted on April 20, 2012 at 11:06amNotice how the puppet masters behind the Occupy group are going about their business:
Threaten to take down Wall Street in violence.
Threaten groups based on religion
Try to disrupt Romney gatherings
Try to disrupt Tea Party gatherings
The puppet masters are making a systematic stance on all sides of Religion, Culture, Class warfare, Hate baiting and assaults on faith and political beliefs.
Before you dismiss such as madness look at the last few weeks of events ALL Occupy movements have been doing; then tie it in with the statement of Farrakhan who declared he will unleash his armies of Islam upon anyone standing against or moving upon the Occupy bands.
Radical aligned with radical aligned with the radicals of Obama admin.
The Occupy bands are the distraction and the bait; the radicals such as Farrakhan are the hounds who will engage the ones taking the bait; and Obama will then clean house under the chaos and cries for ‘end the madness’ if we permit him to do so (impeachment must happen now).
This is the plan in a nutshell.
