Why on earth is she irresponsible. Well done Pam.
Question Author
Zacs, could be a divisive thread this.

So, the USA courts have decreed that freedom of speech is more important than muzzling incitement to racial or religious hatred. The UK/EU courts have decreed the opposite, and we have no more right to impose our view on the USA than they would have to impose their view on us.
Giving credence to a Zionist talking about Islam is like taking the late Ian Paisley's views on Catholicism as the Gospel truth.
Islamaphobia the correct pronunciation is THE TRUTH
No, she's not irresponsible. She's honest. Unlike those who are, on pain of prosecution, silenced by politically correct legislation that serves not to educate, nor to stop them thinking their own thoughts, but simply to prevent them from expressing those thoughts, she is at liberty to speak freely. If the stark adverts encourage apologists to consider their position rather more carefully, it will have succeeded. Strange how similarities spring to mind. Radical Islam seeks to prevent people from expressing their thoughts too - but that is not on pain of prosecution - it's on pain of death.
The New York Mayor may voice his displeasure, but at least he cannot get them removed, unlike our Mayor who had these removed.

Naomi - very well said. Bold move from Geller, would be interesting to see a poll on what the US public think of it all.

AOG - your link illustrates the point Bert was making in the differing attitudes between the UK and the US.
How can you blame someone for being afraid of Muslims ?
'Islamophobia’ remains a nonsense term that encompasses anything felt at any time to offend any Muslim – including facts.'

Orderlimit, yes I read that article previously. I have a lot of time for Douglas Murray, who is one of the most articulate debaters/writers in the UK on the subject of Islam.

The term Islamophobia itself been the subject of much discussion since it appeared in the early nineties. It is, of course, a nonsense term as Murray himself wrote last June that a 'phobia' is an irrational fear yet there are very real fears of the more radical elements of Islam. The term 'anti Muslim prejudice' would, he argues, be more desirable and in my view, he is correct.

Applying Geller's campaign, she is highlighting the threat in a very open way and serves to remind the American public as they go about their business of the seriousness of the terror threat. You only have to read about the recent arrests in Australia to underline that nobody can afford to be complacent.
Yes, 'anti Muslim prejudice' would be more appropriate & useful, they could use similar for say, 'anti- Jehovah Witness prejudice' & all the others.

Luckily, I think a lot of people are sick and tired of these irresponsible pest that throw all these words around like left-wing bloggers. They are a nuisance and have caused a lot of damage.
Thanks for the up datee Agchristie
