Pamela Geller
Since 9/11, Americans have been treated to an ongoing tutorial by the self-professed best-and brightest from America’s universities, media, Christian clergy, and national government explaining how American Muslims become radicalized into Islamist militants. These Muslims, say the country’s brains-trust, are discriminated against by other U.S. citizens; are disenfranchised by poverty; have a hard time transitioning to U.S. society from the Muslim culture they lived in abroad; hate all non-Muslims, or are brain-washed by cynical Islamist leaders and so learn to hate America and become eager to waste their lives in attacking it. These same explanations have been spewed forth by the aforementioned elites ever since the second plane hit the World Trade Center, and now fourteen years they later they are again being served up to explain to the citizenry — really, to mislead the citizenry — what radicalized the Garland, Texas, attackers.
Now each of the foregoing elements may have some peripheral impact on radicalizing young American Muslims, but they would all amount to nothing if the main motivational force — U.S. government policies and actions in the Islamic world — was absent. The attack in Garland, Texas, did not occur because two Muslims were out for a walk and, being bored, decided to kill some non-Muslim cartoonists. The attack occurred because Ms. Geller and her violence-seeking organization announced and then staged an event meant to flamboyantly defame, denigrate, and ridicule the Prophet Muhammad. The Simpson-Soofi attack in Garland was a planned, if poorly executed, operation meant to kill those who seek to humiliate Muslims and their faith by savaging the Prophet. Cause and effect are ever at hand, and in this case the attackers were responding to an attack by Geller et al. that for them and many other Muslims was much more painful than receiving a physical beating.
This cause-and-effect theme has been the constant reality of the U.S. confrontation with Islam since the late-Osama bin Laden began speaking publicly in 1996. He then explained that the mujahedin would continue attacking the United States as long as it maintained a foreign policy that defended Arab tyrannies, unquestioningly supported Israel, attacked and/or occupied Muslim territory, and denigrated the Islamic faith. Bin Laden thus put the U.S. government on notice that its actions and policies would motivate al-Qaeda and other Islamist groups to attack U.S. interests. In response, the U.S. government under Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama/Hillary Clinton has intensified and expanded the actions and policies that bin Laden specified as war motivators. In the case of Garland, Ms. Geller’s meeting might have been the immediate reason for the attack, but her nonsense — blasphemy is a non-starter for anyone taught good manners by their parents — pales in comparison to the success that the Clinton-Bush-Obama/Cinton troika has had in maintaining policies that provide the single most important source of motivation for both the worldwide spread of the Islamist insurgency and for the attacks that will eventually become routine events inside the United States.
While the Garland attack, and the sophomoric Geller meeting that prompted it, have almost faded from the media — but not, you can bet, from the mind of the mujahedin — it is worth noting that Ms. Geller’s childish and intended-to-create-violence conference is only part of what is the small, private-sector contribution to the U.S. government’s mindless agenda for motivating the further growth and geographical spread of what is now a nearly worldwide Islamist insurgency. While the zany Ms. Geller and her merry band of blasphemers were seeking violence in Texas, Washington was:
The old saying that when you have dug yourself into a hole it’s best to stop digging has seldom been more applicable than in regard to U.S. foreign policy in the Muslim world. Clinton, Bush, and Obama/Clinton are all smart enough to know — they are all Ivy Leaguers, you know — that they have been and still are motivating our Islamist enemies, and yet they are also so divorced from reality and lost in theory that they are unwilling to kill those they have motivated and cannot recognize that America is up to its waist in a religious war — they are Ivy all Leaguers, you know. What to do? Stop U.S. intervention in the Islamic world, reissue President Washington’s 1793 Proclamation of Neutrality, and, as diplomatically as possible, tell Sunnis, Shias, Israelis, American Israel-Firsters, and Europeans to (a) piss off and (b) enjoy stewing in their own lethal juices.
Oh yes, and never again cast a vote for a presidential candidate who graduated from an Ivy League university.
With apologies to McCarthy ………… the only good mooslim is a dead mooslim.
Michael Scheuer…..Love ISIS much?
Michael Scheuer never heard of him not being Jewish, I guess. Looked him up and then called a Jewish colleague who said “Scheuer is a self hating Jew.” I thanked him and my headache begins. Jews were the impetus for changing the demographics of the USA: they engineered the Immigration revolution in 1965. They brought all of these Muslims to the USA in fact. The First World War arguably was not settled in 1916 to give the Jews of Europe access to Palestine. Look how that has gone. The Neo Cons (Jews mainly) gave us Iraq and then Obama gave it back. Now I really have a headache. O tempora! O mores!

ISIS= CIA
Pam Geller= Joo
Typical shit stirring by Joos………..yawn.
“The attack occurred because Ms. Geller and her violence-seeking organization announced and then staged an event meant to flamboyantly defame, denigrate, and ridicule the Prophet Muhammad.”
No. The attack occurred because to radical Muslims – which is to say, Muslims – attacked.
I’m sick of this bullshit: ‘We have freedom of speech, but…”
No buts. You have freedom of speech or you don’t. Scheuer’s been right at times. This ain’t one of them.
two radical Muslims
Are the Jews striking key military targets in Syria on behalf of ISIS, as part of a Gulf States/Israeli coalition?
Are we providing Air Power to Iranian ground troops in direct opposition of this coalition?
Is our government divided, serving both sides of this conflict, CIA and associates aligned with the Jews and Gulf States vs. the Pentagon/Executive aligned with Iran and the Shias?
Plans within plans, nothing is simple, especially with heaps of lies purposefully muddying the waters.
Since muslims are attacking non-muslims across the middle east, Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Caucuses, both Asian and European Russia, the Philippines, and Europe — I’m sure it’s our policies in the middle east that has caused this. Question for the author: Your article offended me greatly is it ok if I try to kill you since you blatantly tried to antagonize me and all like-minded people?
is that really Stuckey?
Lived in Garland for years…if their is an abundance of foreigners there they were Asian and Hispanic
. Geller, nor her psycophants, or the shooters were from the area.
