More Photos From Pam Geller’s Anti-Islam Rally in Columbus

Sad. just sad. and they call themselves Christians. i guess they are why i don't call myself a Christian.

It must be nice to be one of the enlightened but gee, someday you'll have to get your head out of the sand before some crazed jihadist cuts it off for you.

The Pam Geller video from the rally is not up along with some added commentary.

One thing that should be noted – the ones with the shirts demonizing Islam were less than 10 percent of crowd. They were from the Gainesville, Florida “Dove World Outreach Center.”

I was at that rally. Those “Secret Services”-type guys work for a private security firm, providing protection for Robert Spencer and Pam Geller. One of them is a retired Marine (I chatted with him briefly, nice guy). You omitted a picture of a big display poster of Muslim women pictured with bruises, swollen lips, black eyes, with descriptions of what happened to them. Some of them were dead at the hands of Muslim husbands, fathers or siblings. These were real abuses. There were few Arabic-American and Iranian-American attendees and they supported the rally 100%.

Nice stereotypical, ad hominen comments here. If you all attend that rally, you would all have know the real story and get to know some of the people there. They don't like Islam, its supremacist-followers, and its oppressive ideology. And you called yourself progressives? What a joke.

Yes, domestic violence is a big problem in every society, I don't dispute that. But domestic violence under a cloak of religion is far more serious problem and it's far more common in the Islamic world than in the West. Variety of Islamic teachings in most countries lead many to use its teachings as excuses to punish, abuse, or kill women, in addition to old cultural and tribal customs encouraging or tolerating such cruel behaviors. When you combine all of that, we would have a very hard time telling the followers of Islam that they got a very serious problem. They're more apt to tell us that we have no right to question and criticize Islamic teachings and call us “Islamophobic”.

Then we have much bigger problems.

Geller is more interesting in bringing awareness about domestic violence in Islam. I think she may have been a victim of domestic violence herself, perhaps she's bringing out all the rage upon Islam for all the unspoken victims and the dead?
