Pamela Geller, has been rallying her fellow conspiracy theorists and anti-Muslim shock troops to converge on the Franklin County Juvenile Court House, to in her usual shrill style, “Help Save Fathima Rifqa Bary!” Of course the Rifqa Bary case has long since ceased to be about the young girl her self, let alone about her safety but rather it has metamorphized into a vivid manifestation of the psychopathies of the Right-wing and its most ardent and zealous core. As journalist Michael Kruse put it in a back and forth with anti-Muslim Andrew Bostom, “he (Robert Spencer), and Pam Geller, too, are so much a part of this story, and certainly reasons it’s turned into what it’s turned into.”
The Rifqa Bary story is all but over, the courts have decided that she is safe in Ohio where she will have regular contact with her parents who they have also absolved from baseless allegations of violence and extremism. The lead cheerleaders in ripping this young girl from her family have been Spencer and Geller, who in the face of the verdict seem to be shell shocked.
Geller, the most vocal of the anti-Muslims over this case has chosen a quixotic strategy in response, attempting to pressurize the Courts to sweep aside the judicial process and their verdict in favor of her and her mobs fantasy of seeing Rifqa Bary living with a Christian family.
An interesting progressive website called Plunderbund reports that one its bloggers, Joseph will be attending the Geller rally to report on the ins-and-outs of the sure fire Islamophobia. Already we have a nice morsel of what is to come:
Spotted at Wingnut Islamophobe Rally: Islam is of the Devil
Just a hint of what is to come from a visit by PB blogger Joseph at a wingnut Islamaphobe rally in Columbus:
I also hear he has a video with Pam Geller of Atlas Shrugs (at least I think it’s her), claiming the White House is putting cookies on her computer! Not only is she a skeered of the Mooz-lums, but she’s a skeered of cookies too!
Boo!
More to come…
Stay tuned for more at Plunderbund, and we will also definitely be updating our findings.
UPDATE: More from Plunderbund
Pam Geller of Atlas Shrugs and a bunch of her wing nut friends held a rally today across from the Franklin County Juvenile Court House the stated purpose of which was to show support for Rifqa Bary.
It didn’t take but a few seconds to realize that the actual purpose was much more sinister. The people who showed up for this rally couldn’t give two shits about the Rifqa herself – they only care about using her as a tool to further their own hate-filled, intolerant, anti-Muslim agenda.
You could tell by the shirts and the signs that these people were full of hate. How very Christian of them.
The photos speak for themselves (but I added some captions anyway)…
Maybe a dozen people had on these ridiculous shirts.
Including these classy broads who brought along their babies. Want to talk about indoctrination?
This guy intentionally misspelled Muslim as ‘Moslem’ knowing that spelling is offensive.
More nutjobs with signs. The portly fellow on the phone is Robert Spencer, the wing nutty author well known for spreading misinformation and hatred of Islam. The guy to his left is one of the many serious-looking guys with sunglasses and suits who were pretending to be from the Secret Service.
Another nut with a sign. Note the stack of books? The top one is Robert Spencer’s “Stealth Jihad: How Radical Islam is Subverting America without Guns or Bombs”.

Pam’s present insanity is calculated. She tapped into the niche that is anti-Muslim blogging, coupled it with her pose as a libertarian and freedom fighter for democracy then turned the lights out. It is all a lie, all the rallies and badly worded diatribes such as her’s are an outcome of cash rules everything around me. She is a hired shill for the right-wing-Likud wing. The benefit of someone such as her is to keep the base riled up and fervent, nothing more.
November 16th, 2009 at 1:20 pm
These shirts are interesting, “Islam is of the Devil.”
This is what Robert Spencer believes in a nutshell, but is unwilling to say.
November 16th, 2009 at 1:35 pm
The nutsos are into the rally business these days. The teabaggers have started a fad. Racist supremo Brigitte Gabriel is going wild with her appeals for rally to the kookish ranks that follow her with the so-called “ACT for America” rallies that openly call for the persecution of Muslims. Loonwatch should look into that.

Well Pamella Geller is being chewed off by Drama Queen Debbie Schlussel as a hypocrite

I think pamella does not care about anything but becoming the queen Loon

I would love to stand next to one of those morons in my hijab and an ‘I’m with Stupid’ t-shirt!
The best way to deal with these loons is to laugh at them because otherwise you just want to cry!
November 16th, 2009 at 3:32 pm
If these clowns are the defenders of the West, we’re screwed.
November 16th, 2009 at 6:52 pm
What do they seek to accomplish from this protest/rally or whatever it is?

The more people I hear about like the ones in the article, the less I can blame Jane Goodall for spending her time with chimps.
Jasmes, Western History has always met some sort of demise because of the idiots like the ones mentioned above. From the fall of Rome, to the Dark Ages, to Both World Wars, its really an age old cycle.
Never forget the past.
November 17th, 2009 at 2:26 am
A funny bunch, these Islam-haters, arent they ? Im starting to think that LoonyQueen Pam Geller is trying to be the next Borat. Think about it: shes unintentionally funny in her bigotry and plain hatred of “everything muslim”.
November 17th, 2009 at 3:59 am
I wonder if those nice evangelical Christians who took Rifqa Bary under their wing, have extended the favor and tried to save Pam Gellar’s soul by encouraging her to turn to Christ. Or have they given up on the Jews already?
November 17th, 2009 at 11:37 am
As a victim of Muslim crime, I applaud Pamela’s efforts.
November 17th, 2009 at 11:50 am
Travis probably doesn’t get the irony in his comment. First he expects to take on faith his claim, “I am a victim of Muslim crime.”
Second, he doesn’t recognize his own obscene idiocy, imagine if we replaced “a victim of Muslim crime” with “a victim of Jewish/Black/White/Christian crime.”
As idiotic as it is non-sensical. Crawl back into your shell “Travis.”
Next post he is going to be telling us he is a victim of honor killing.
November 17th, 2009 at 11:58 am
Pam Geller is seriously a witch.
November 17th, 2009 at 3:46 pm
Loonwatch, here is an article suggestion for you. I and others here would appreciate a factual well written response to the charge below.
Both Debbie Shlussel and Pamela Gellar and other Islamophobes who try to discredit Islam say regularly on their blogs that Islam a “cheap copy of Judaism and a bit of Christianity”.
Aside from the fact that The Prophet is most influential man in history, and that Jews and Christians over the centuries have converted to Islam but rarely do Muslims convert to other religions, there is the obvious flaw in their arguement, that more Jews have actually left Judaism and Chrisitnaity by coming to the conclusion that’s it was all myths. By contrast rarely do Muslims leave the faith. If Islam is a cheap copy how do they justify the fact that all their Prophets can’t match the influence of Mohammed. Mohammed wouldn’t be the most influential man in history if he copied their religion. Also Islam has benefitted humanity more than any other religion. How can a cheap copy achieve such heights of glory that the orignial couldn’t then?
But the biggest flaw in their argument, is that Judaism itself is said to be a copy of a religion that Moses copied from Akhenaten.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sargon_of_Akkad
A Neo-Assyrian text (7th century BC) describes his birth and his early childhood:
faculty.mdc.edu/jmcnair/Joe12pages/sargon_is_the_great_teacher_who_.htm
http://www.ancientdays.net/creationstories.htm
The writers of the Old Testament, however, borrowed motifs and allusions from the myths of Mesopotamia and Canaan
http://www.maryforrest.com/mythology/#judaism
Mythology (Richard McLaughlin)
The Hebrews may have developed monotheism from Akhenaten
faculty.mdc.edu/jmcnair/Joe12pages/sargon_is_the_great_teacher_who_.htm
Sargon was a self-made man of humble origins; a gardener, having found him as a baby floating in a basket on the river, brought him up in his own calling.
——–
The irony is that when you try to rebut their lies at their websites, they don’t post the comments. But if you write an article that shows them up for the liars that they are, it would shame them, just like you shamed Robert Sperncer.
Many thanks for your very welcome and good work:) God bless you guys n gals:)
November 18th, 2009 at 1:18 am
Geller and Schlussel are hypocrites, anytime someone posts something contrary to their brain farts they ban the comment, despite their supposed being “freedom warriors.” I have regularly picked apart Schlussel’s comments in her comments section only to find my ip banned because she can’t handle any criticism. Geller is the same. Geller of course is willing to unit with neo-Nazis to fight Muslims. If I used her own method of painting people with a broad brush, I’d be worried that the grandchildren of Nazis will again behave like Nazis and try killing Jews again, but I see her narrow-minded methods only apply to Muslims.

Islam is evil and NO MUSLIM EVER CAN BE TRUSTED. sorry folks that is the truth. Rifka will be killed you guys know it and don’t care! just anthor woman so she not mean anything eh?

JackieMalone, get lost and stop pretending a fake concern for Rifka. Elsewhere in this website i’ve posted links refuting honor killings being Islamic, they existed pre-islam, and go on in Christian, Jewish, sikh, hindu, and other religons, till recently in Greece, go and read stophonourkillings.comJackie go to Europe, (who are more educated and sophisticated than Americans) and they’d chew you up. America is 400 years behind Europe because of your lot, (uneducated, ignorant lumpen bigots) The world has moved on,
Ali Azizi, thanks bro, I agree with you,
i’ve had the same problem at Shclussel’s site and Pam Geller’s they don’t post comments that refute their lies, tha’s why you stupid ignorant people like Jackie Malone.
The faithfreedom.org has a site that rebuts it, called faithfreedom.com, I think there should be dedicated sites to rebut the lies that Pam Geller and Debbie Schlussl tell. The good news is that Americans realised a few years ago they’re being fed a load of lies by conservatives who have the media and lobbies under their control, that’s why they turned to British newspapers.
Things have changed now that the Dems are in power, but more needs to be done to educate American’s as to how they’ve been conned and lied to. Robert spencer and Nonie Darwish have been kicked in the butt recently, their engagements being cancelled or riduculed..that is a growing trend,
There should be dedicated websites, called
pamelagellerwatch.com debbieschusllelwatch.com roberspencerwatch.com
They don’t cost much to run, we just need to garner together people willing to monitor and write and rebut their posts, so readers can read both and then see how Geller and co. lie. There should be some form of media activism, we need to get more active in media, by getting investments from Muslims to fund….we need an American Al Jazeera
Anyway, thank you for your thoughts:)
November 19th, 2009 at 9:01 am
Ah Jackie….There is only pity for you.
FYI- even if Islam did permit killing someone for apostasy, it is very specific about not killing women….women are not to be killed in war and this extends to female apostates also….
whatever way you look at it…Islamically there is no justification for her death and she is free to do whatever she wants….except that is to slander an entire religion, destroy and humiliate her family and take the side of bigots over what is just. For that we are allowed to call her on it and not be swayed by her and spencer et als. shrill shrieks!
November 19th, 2009 at 9:58 am
Jackie,
That is a very interesting comment. If is Islam is evil then why is it the fastest growing religion in the world?
Do you really think that everyone is being fooled?
With that hate you are spewing I guess I already know your answer. You may want to study the truth about this story. Rifqa has openly been a Christian for sometime now. She even tried to convert her brother. The courts have found no proof that her parents ever harmed her. She claimed that she had to hide the fact that she was a cheerleader from her scrict muslim parents but when the police showed up at her house they found pictures of her in her cheerleader uniform. But I guess when you are blinded with hate facts don’t matter.
Hate begets hate and I feel sorry for you. I will hope then one day you will put away your hate and reach out to with love and understanding.

You sound just like them. You are equally as arrogant about the self professed superiority of your religion over the other Abrahamic religions as they are.
Just because this site is targeting “Islamophobes” that doesn’t mean it supports Muslim “Judophobes” or “Christophobes.” There is a difference between trying to confront inaccurate statements about Islam (without necessarily believing in the religion), and bragging how influence Mohammed was or how far more appealing Islam is to Jews/Christians than the reverse.
November 23rd, 2009 at 11:29 am
Jackie, you are a dumbass. everyone who is even remotely aware shows that Rifka was never in danger, and the jews and christians who knew her parents vouched for her. In fact, Islam forbids killing apostates. Spencer and Geller don’t give two shits about her. They just want her for their agenda.
December 1st, 2009 at 9:50 am
All I needed was having Pamela (a former FRIEND of mine, for some insane bizarre reason) declare on her blog that the MRI I was about to have was indeed going to prove that I had a brain tumor, this tumor that she was blaming my “change of heart” for. Yes, I never just kept talking to people, kept reading, kept in the REAL world and stopped being a reactionary to 9/11, no way. I certainly must have had a brain tumor to cause me to not hate all Muslims and to not see Islam as “a political ideology, not a religion” (that mantra of the loons). Surely my gay-Persian-Muslim-Brother-In-Law was going to convert my whole family or have his family flown in from Dearborn (yes, he is really from there, well by way of Teheran) to murder us all. Surely my own co-bloggers would at least try to convert me. Wait, why are my Muslim friends not detonating? Holy shit!!
Good one up there nat, that would be the ultimate if those evangelicals supporting and befriending Rifqa tried to convert Pamela, but you forget, they ACTUALLY want her to move with her poor YouTubed daughters to Israel so that Jesus will pop back out of a cloud mysteriously and then HE will try to convert her and her brood. Darbyites are so bizarre.
