		<description><![CDATA[The land of enlightenment becomes the land of darkness.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Paris_riots.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-248056" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Paris_riots.jpg" alt="Paris_riots" width="295" height="166" /></a>The Land of Enlightenment is fast becoming the land of darkness for France’s Jewish citizens.</p>
<p>And many in the French Jewish community have been aware of this sad situation for some time, a realization that was reinforced by the attack on two synagogues by Muslim rioters in Paris last summer during the Gaza conflict. But the latest shocking, anti-Semitic crime that occurred early in December in the same city has deepened the community’s feeling that the possibility of living peaceful lives with a Jewish identity in France is rapidly disappearing.</p>
<p>The latest outrage produced by France’s growing anti-Semitic climate, found especially in its Muslim community, concerns the brutal and horrifying robbery of a Jewish family in their home in Creteil, a Parisian suburb. Three gloved and masked men, armed with pistols and a sawed-off shotgun, gained entrance to the family’s apartment after ringing the doorbell. Present in the apartment were a young man, 21, and his 19-year-old girlfriend, who answered the door. Both were immediately tied up and robbed of jewellery, cellphones, computers and bank cards.</p>
<p>“They said they knew we had cash in the flat ‘because Jews have money and they never keep it in the bank’,” the young man, identified only as Jonathan, said in an interview on French radio.</p>
<p>But the worst was yet to come. While one of the robbers left to use the bank cards, the man and his girlfriend were placed in different rooms, and the young woman was then raped.</p>
<p>Police arrested the suspects soon after the robbery, while a fourth accomplice is being sought. French law does not allow the immediate publication of their identities; but a German newspaper reported their first names as Ladji, Yazine and Omar, while a British publication stated two were “of African and North African origin.”</p>
<p>French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve stated the “anti-Semitic character” of the attack “appeared confirmed.” Unsurprisingly, the savagery perpetrated on the young Jewish couple also may not have been the gang’s first violent, anti-Semitic crime. Police suspect the criminals of having beaten a man in his seventies in Creteil in November because he was Jewish. Two young Jews, aged 18 and 23, were also viciously assaulted last May in the same suburb, which is home to many Parisian Jews. The two victims had just left their synagogue on a Saturday evening. Their assailants are unknown.</p>
<p>Regarding the home invasion, it was reported the gang had been monitoring their target for some time. It was reported that a couple of days before the robbery, one of the criminals had even gone to the apartment under a phony pretext to check whether Jews really lived there. The gang verified the family’s religious identity when the father appeared wearing a kippa.</p>
<p>“The horrible side of this aggression is its premeditation,” Haim Korsia, the grand rabbi of France, told <em>Le Figaro</em> newspaper. “It is not a crime of opportunity. It was thought through and reflected on. This act was ripened through a deeply rooted hatred over a length of time. It is therefore a very serious act that poses the question about the cohabitation of different persons in a same space.”</p>
<p>Some French Jews, however, have been answering with their feet the “cohabitation” question Korsia brings up. According to the German newspaper, <em>Die Welt</em>, immigration of French Jews to Israel is set to almost double over last year, when 3,280 left for the Jewish state, an increase of 70 percent over 2012. French Jews also formed the largest group of new immigrants to Israel this year. France has the largest Jewish community in Europe with an estimated 350,000 to 500,000 members.</p>
<p>According to <em>Le Figaro</em>, young, French Jewish families are also leaving France for Israel both because of the country’s increasing anti-Semitism, which, they believe, endangers their children, and the French economy’s poor performance. Parents fear putting their children into Jewish schools and summer camps because of anti-Semitic attacks. And who can blame them when one recalls French jihadist Mohammed Merah, who murdered four people, three of them children, at a Jewish school in Toulouse in 2012. Muslim rioters yelling “Death to Jews” in Paris during last summer’s anti-Israeli demonstrations have probably spurred others to head for France’s exits.</p>
<p>Former Soviet dissident Natan Sharansky is the director of the Jewish Agency for Israel, the country’s official immigration organization. In an interview with <em>Die Welt</em>, he related a telling incident concerning anti-Semitism in France and the fear it has engendered.  Accompanying a plane full of French Jews immigrating to Israel last summer, he said he asked the passengers, after they had received instructions concerning how they should react to rocket attacks in their new country, whether they had any fear?</p>
<p>“And they answered me: ‘No, in France we had fear. That’s over with here; we don’t have to hide’,” recalled Sharansky.</p>
<p>Sharansky also stated in the interview that anti-Semitism in parts of Paris has become so prevalent, it is dangerous even to go for a walk wearing a kippa.</p>
<p>“The threat here in Israel is different. Here, one can fight for his home,” he said. “In Europe, on the other hand, especially in France, the feeling is becoming stronger and stronger among Jews that they don’t have a home there anymore.”</p>
<p>And they most likely won’t, at least in France, if the political reaction to the anti-Semitic outrage in Creteil is anything to go by. The right words of condolence and outrage were said afterwards by all officials about the tragedy, but solutions to counter France’s growing Jew hatred were noticeably lacking.</p>
<p>President Francois Hollande serves as a good example of this phenomenon. He called the rape and robbery “unbearable violence” and “an assault on all France holds dear,” adding it proves the “fight against anti-Semitism must be carried out every day.” However, what Hollande left unsaid was how this fight was to be conducted and how it could be won.</p>
<p>Moreover, while Hollande says anti-Semitism must be fought, his Socialist Party (SP) supports a pro-Muslim immigration policy, since the SP views France’s six million strong Muslim community as its voting and ideological constituency. An increase in Muslim immigration, however, is a disaster for any struggle against anti-Semitism, as Jew hatred is highest among French Muslims. Many arrive in France from North African and other Islamic countries already possessing a strong hatred for Jews.</p>
<p>Korsia found it encouraging that “the social body” in France felt revulsion over the crime in Corteil, which, to him, was a “note of hope.” France’s Grand Rabbi would now like to see both Muslims and Jews approach each other and “encourage dialogue between the religions …especially, to reinvest in the national community.”</p>
<p>“It is necessary to work ceaselessly to make France a place of intelligence, of sharing, of respect, and to fight against those who do not want this,” he said.</p>
<p>Despite Korsia’s excellent, humanitarian intentions, however, the cards appear to be stacked against him. It is difficult to see how civilised dialogue will ever stop Islamist brown shirts, steeped in a deep, SS-like Jew hatred, from committing future barbarisms similar to that in Creteil, if not worse.</p>
<p>But France’s people should take note. A similar, virulent and violent anti-Semitism destroyed another leading European state 70 years ago. And if Jew hatred in France is left unchecked, their country appears destined for a similar, tragic fate.</p>
<p>“The hate against Jews in France is only the beginning,” warns Sharansky. “History shows that there, where Jews are being excluded, other people later become victims of the same ideology.”</p>

<p>Frontpage Interview’s guest today is Pamela Geller, founder, editor and publisher of the popular and award-winning weblog <em>AtlasShrugs.com</em>. She has won acclaim for her interviews with internationally renowned figures, including John Bolton, Geert Wilders, Bat Ye’or, Natan Sharansky, and many others, and has broken numerous important stories — notably the questionable sources of some of the financing of the Obama campaign.. Her op-eds have been published in <em>The Washington Times</em>, <em>The American Thinker</em>, <em>Israel National News</em>, <em>Frontpage Magazine</em>, <em>World Net Daily</em>, and <em>New Media Journal</em>, among other publications. She is the co-author (with Robert Spencer) of the soon to be released, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Post-American-Presidency-Obama-Administrations-America/dp/1439189307/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1260121208&amp;sr=8-2">The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration’s War on America</a> (forward by Ambassador John Bolton).</p>
<p><strong>FP:</strong> Pamela Geller, welcome to Frontpage  Interview.</p>
<p><strong>Geller:</strong> Thank you, Jamie.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>FP:</strong> Tell us about the &#8220;Leaving Islam&#8221; bus ads and what’s going on.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Geller:</strong> Last Tuesday (April 13), Stop Islamization Of America and the Freedom Defense Initiative, the new organization I have begun with bestselling author and Jihad Watch director Robert Spencer, rolled out our “Leaving Islam” ad campaign on Miami buses. But on Friday (April 30), in an outrageous denial of our free speech rights, Miami-Dade Transit pulled our ads – because they might be “offensive to Islam.”</p>
<p>At the behest of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), an un-indicted co-conspirator in a Hamas funding case, Miami-Dade Transit took our SIOA ads off the buses in South Florida because they offended Muslims.</p>
<p>Miami-Dade Transit was bowing to Sharia, Islamic law, which forbids non-Muslims to insult Islam. But ultimately free speech won out: after we threatened a lawsuit, Miami-Dade Transit agreed to restore our ads and add them to twenty new buses at the cost merely of printing the new posters. Our lawyer, David Yerushalmi, did a superb job, with the aid of the Thomas More Law Center’s Robert Muise.</p>
<p><strong>FP:</strong> What was the motive of your campaign?</p>
<p><strong>Geller:</strong> Jamie, this campaign was and is in defense of religious freedom. Our ad asks, “Fatwa on your head? Is your family or community threatening you? Leaving Islam? Got questions? Get answers! RefugefromIslam.com.” This is the first time anyone offered public help to people threatened under Islam’s death penalty for apostasy. America is the land of the free, and apostates must know they are free here. Safe here. Government<strong> </strong>and law enforcement should be on this. But they aren’t. So we are. It is time for free citizens to stand for freedom &#8212; or lose it.</p>
<p>Miami-Dade Transit’s kowtowing to CAIR, even though it ultimately reversed itself, shows how close we are to losing it.<strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>FP:</strong> Didn’t CAIR run a bus ad campaign of its own?</p>
<p><strong>Geller:</strong> Yes, Jamie. CAIR and other Muslim Brotherhood-linked groups ran campaigns on buses across the country last year, including Miami, inviting people to convert to Islam and claiming that Abraham, Moses and Jesus were Muslim prophets. It was important to counterbalance this offensive appropriation of the founding figures of Judaism and Christianity and outright deception with a healthy message.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>FP:</strong> It’s amazing that defending freedom of religion would be controversial.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Geller:</strong> That’s right, Jamie. Freedom of religion is an unalienable right. Sharia law should hold no weight or legitimacy here. Apostates should be free in America to leave Islam without fear, and be who and whatever that they want to be.</p>
<p>But Miami-Dade Transit thought otherwise, and it took the threat of a lawsuit to keep them from submitting to Sharia. While they allowed the CAIR bus ads despite how offensive they were to Jews and Christians, they initially disallowed the SIOA ads. In December 2008, the <em>Miami Herald</em> ran a glowing piece on the CAIR bus ad campaign, which ran in Miami-Dade and Broward counties for eight weeks. No one took offense, despite the Islamic supremacist nature of the ads. No one breathed a word of protest.</p>
<p>So Muslims can run bus ads all across America inviting the clueless to convert to Islam, but we cannot make information available to Muslims who want to leave Islam. Still think this is a free country? Still think we enjoy the protection of the First Amendment on speech that offends the powerful? Think again: it didn’t start with Miami. At least three of the bus companies that ran CAIR’s dawah (invitation to Islam) bus ads turned down our ad.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>FP:</strong> How did CAIR react when your ads were pulled?</p>
<p><strong>Geller:</strong> As Miami-Dade Transit bowed and scraped, CAIR lied. CAIR-South Florida director Muhammed Malik claimed: “Islam guarantees freedom to and freedom from religion. . . . [We] reject as un-Islamic any extremist interpretation that sanctions the killing of any individual because she decided to ‘leave Islam.”</p>
<p>If what Malik said were so, the ads would run. But what about the thousands of dead apostates in Muslim countries? Al Azhar University, the leading Islamic university in the world, recently issued a fatwa that constitutes a death warrant on apostates from Islam. Ruling on the question of a Muslim who had converted to Christianity, the fatwa said: “Since he left the Islam, he will be invited to express his regret. If he does not regret, he will be killed pertaining to rights and obligations of the Islamic law.”</p>
<p>Will Muhammad Malik denounce Al-Azhar University? Will he denounce Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi of Al-Jazeera, who said that all the major schools of Islamic law “agree that apostates must be executed”?</p>
<p><strong>FP:</strong> What’s the next step?</p>
<p><strong>Geller:</strong> Jamie, I am proud to announce that Robert Spencer and I are taking our “Leaving Islam” campaign nationwide. Miami was a key test case. Now we are trying to raise money for ads – and lawyers – all over the country. Free speech and religious liberty must be defended in the United States. Public institutions like Miami-Dade Transit must not give way to Islamic rules governing speech. The stakes couldn’t be higher.</p>
<p><strong>FP:</strong> Pamela Geller, thank you for joining us.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Is assaulting Jewish students on Canadian campuses now legitimate criticism of Israel?]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/antisemitism02.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-50393" title="antisemitism02" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/antisemitism02.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="265" /></a></p>
<p>In a country where multiculturalism has a reverent following and criticism of protected minorities has essentially been criminalized as “hate speech,” it is more than ironic that on some Canadian campuses radical students have taken it upon themselves to target one group, Jewish students, with a hatred that is nominally forbidden for any others. And with a recent incident that took place at the beginning of February, York University in particular, has now revealed a troubling pattern of tolerating physical and emotional assaults by pro-Palestinian radicals against Jewish students and others who dare to demonstrate any support for Israel or question the tactics of Islamists in their efforts to destroy the Jewish state.</p>
<p>At a February 1<sup>st</sup> event, Hasbara Fellowships at York  University, with the permission of the University, had set up a table to inform interested students about Hezbollah-kidnapped Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit as part of Hasbara’s ongoing campaign called “Free Palestinians from Hamas.” Typically, York’s outspoken and volatile pro-Palestinian students were less than willing to let such benign sentiments be aired, and, according to Hasbara’s co-president, Tyler Golden, demonstrated their displeasure by surrounding the table in an angry mob of some 50 activists, spewing forth anti-Semitic and anti-Israel slurs at the Jewish students.</p>
<p>“At around 4 o’clock,” said Golden, “several known anti-Israel faces on campus came to start questioning us and debate with us . . . Security has asked us, when we come across this type of situation, to call them, which we did. We also videotape so they can see the faces and hear the voices of the people that do it. A few students who were surrounding us were upset that there were cameras in their faces, so they started yelling and screaming. As they were trying to push the cameras out of the way, they actually hit two of our students.” Muslim student groups have consistently attempted to disrupt the speeches of guests whose view are considered “unacceptable” because they might cause discomfort or “intimidation” for students unwilling to face the reality of radical Islam and unable to see any villain in the Middle East except Israel.</p>
<p>And the recent brawling at York  University is not the first instance of anti-Israelism gone amuck on that campus. York’s radicalized students had already revealed a rabid anti-Semitic leaning, when in February 2009, some 100 pro-Palestinian students initiated a near-riot, as police had to be called to usher Jewish students to safety after they had been barricaded inside the Hillel offices and were “isolated and threatened” by the physically and verbally aggressive demonstrators.</p>
<p>Parroting the morally-incoherent and factually-defective exhortations of Israel-haters elsewhere of “Zionism equals racism!” and “Racists off campus!” the York mob, members of both the York Federation of Students and Students Against Israeli Apartheid, demonstrated once again that what is positioned as “intellectual debate” on campuses about the Israeli/Palestinian issue has devolved into something that is not really a conversation at all. Rather, it is something more akin to an ideologically-driven shout fest with a new version of pro-Palestinian brown shirts who pretend that they are merely criticizing Zionism but are actually slurring Jews. So York’s supporters of the cult of Palestinianism apparently no longer felt even a bit uncomfortable voicing what was actually on their minds when the subject of Israel comes up: when the York Hillel students were trapped inside locked offices, surrounded by an increasingly violent and aggressive mob, the intellectual “debate” that day included such invidious and raw slurs as “Die Jew―get the hell off campus.”</p>
<p>That thuggery by pro-Palestinian Jew-haters had already become something of a tradition on the York campus. A year earlier in April 2008, Barbara Kay of Canada’s <em>National Post</em> reported, York’s Hillel had invited then-Knesset member Natan Sharansky to deliver an address. Not content with allowing anyone with a pro-Israel viewpoint to shares his or her views on campus, the Palestinian Students Association and Students Against Israeli Apartheid@York (SAIA) used the now common tactic of intellectual bullies on American and Canadian campuses: they jeered at and shouted down Sharansky, spoke loudly among themselves during his talk, and generally prevented anyone in the audience from listening to the content of the speech, but not before they had articulated their own vitriol with such comments as “Get off our campus, you genocidal racist” and “you are bringing a second Holocaust upon yourselves.”</p>
<p>Violence, and threats of violence, against Jewish students during conversations about Israel have occurred at other Canadian universities, as well. At the University of Toronto’s invidious 2009 Israeli Apartheid Week, for instance, the annual event had so devolved into a racist, rabid rally that proceedings were closed to cameras and reporters, and individuals who actually attempted to participate in a dialogue about the issues being raised by the noxious event in the first place were confronted with physical intimidation and threats, encountering the dark side of pro-Palestinianism.</p>
<p>One of these individuals, Isaac Apter, a Jewish alumnus of the University  of Toronto, recounted how he and others in the audience of one evening’s events quizzed a speaker about why Hamas had persistently refused to recognize the legitimacy of Israel—did “Israel have the right to exist?”—and when the speaker side-stepped the questioning repeatedly, some audience members shouted out, “Answer the questions!” Apter found himself approached from behind by a member of a private guard retained by Students Against Israel Apartheid, slapped in the head, yanked from his seat, and yelled at with the warning, “You shut the f&#8211;k up!” A second Jewish attendee was similarly assaulted that night by one of the hired security team and given a far more chilling warning, particularly in light of the barbaric practice of beheadings in the Middle East:<strong> </strong>“Shut the f&#8211;k up or I’ll saw your head off.”  Not only was the Jewish state being attacked and degraded throughout these events, but now Jews themselves were being targeted for emotional and physical assault, an unsurprising outcome of a prolonged, virulent campaign against the concept of Israel as a Jewish state.</p>
<p>University officials regularly proclaim, as they did when they had to defend sponsoring Israeli Apartheid Week,<strong> </strong>that they have a “commitment to the principles of freedom of inquiry, freedom of speech and freedom of association.” But that empty exhortation has shown itself, repeatedly, to be, at best, disingenuous, and, at worst, a masking of their true intention:  enabling favored victim groups to utter vitriol and libel against Israel and Jews, with the pretense that they have somehow encouraged intellectual debate and productive political discussion. This is not scholarship at all; it is Jew-hatred dressed up in academic clothes.<strong> </strong></p>

<p>Frontpage Interview’s guest today is Pamela Geller, founder, editor and publisher of the popular and award-winning weblog <em>AtlasShrugs.com</em>.. She has won acclaim for her interviews with internationally renowned figures, including John Bolton, Geert Wilders, Bat Ye’or, Natan Sharansky, and many others, and has broken numerous important stories — notably the questionable sources of some of the financing of the Obama campaign. Her op-eds have been published in <em>The Washington Times</em>, <em>The American Thinker</em>, <em>Israel National News</em>, <em>Frontpage Magazine</em>, <em>World Net Daily</em>, and <em>New Media Journal</em>, among other publications. She is the co-author (with Robert Spencer) of the soon to be released, <a title="http://www.amazon.com/Post-American-Presidency-Obama-Administrations-America/dp/1439189307/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1260121208&amp;sr=8-2" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Post-American-Presidency-Obama-Administrations-America/dp/1439189307/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1260121208&amp;sr=8-2" target="_blank">The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration&#8217;s War on America</a> (forward by Ambassador John Bolton).</p>

<p><strong>FP:</strong><strong> </strong>Pamela Geller, welcome back to Frontpage Interview.</p>
<p>I would like to talk to you today about Organizing for America (OFA), formerly Obama for America, and what it is doing in public schools. Tell us about it.</p>
<p><strong>Geller:</strong> Jamie, a reader of my website AtlasShrugs.com, Chuck, has a daughter in the eleventh grade in a public high school, Perry Local in Massillon, Ohio. The teacher in her government class passed out a propaganda recruiting paper – headed with Obama’s distinctive “O” logo — asking students to sign up as interns for Organizing for America. You can see the entire intern recruiting form at <a title="http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2010/01/atlas-exclusive-obama-organizing-for-communism-and-youth-corps-in-the-public-school-1.html" rel="nofollow" href="http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2010/01/atlas-exclusive-obama-organizing-for-communism-and-youth-corps-in-the-public-school-1.html" target="_blank">AtlasShrugs.com</a>.</p>
<p>The form indicates yet again that Barack Obama is using our public school system to recruit for his Alinsky-inspired private army. Organizing for America is recruiting in our high schools to<strong> </strong>“build on the movement that elected President Obama by empowering students across the country to help us bring about our agenda” – that is, his agenda of socialism for the United States of America.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>So what would you say to the argument that this is just an internship program and that there’s nothing wrong with it?</p>
<p><strong>Geller:</strong> Yes, Jamie, it is just an internship program, but what will these “interns” be force-fed? The mother’s milk of the left — anti-war agitation, anti-capitalism, Marx, Lenin, Ayers, LGBT agenda promotion, global warming, soft-on-jihad, and illegal immigration. For starters. Maybe “Ellie Light,” who has in the last few weeks published the same Letter to the Editor supporting and defending Obama in over a dozen newspapers across the country, can give lessons in astroturfing.</p>
<p><strong>FP:</strong> Provide some evidence.</p>
<p><strong>Geller: </strong>That’s easy.</p>
<p>The evidence for this is that the very form in question carries a recommended reading list, including <em>Rules for Radicals</em> by the notorious hard left community organizer and Obama mentor Saul Alinsky; two <em>Huffington Post</em> articles by Zack Exley, “The New Organizers” and “Obama Field Organizers Plot a Miracle.” The first of those, published in October 2008, enthuses about “an insurgent generation of organizers” inside the Obama campaign that has, “almost without anyone noticing … built the Progressive movement a brand new and potentially durable people’s organization, in a dozen states, rooted at the neighborhood level.”<strong> </strong></p>
<p>During the 2000 presidential campaign, Exley operated the website <a title="http://www.gwbush.com/" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.gwbush.com/" target="_blank">www.gwbush.com</a>, which was filled with lies about George W. Bush that were designed to kill his chance to become President. The site’s headline was “Just Say ‘No’ to a Former Cocaine User for President.”</p>
<p>Also included on the OFA internship recommended reading list are <em>Stir It Up: Lessons from Community Organizing and Advocacy</em> by the leftist activist Rinku Sen, and sections of Obama’s book <em>Dreams from My Father</em> dealing with his days as a community organizer in Chicago.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>What do you think the point is of all this &#8220;community&#8221; organizing?<strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Geller:</strong> To elect more Democrats, of course. This internship program is geared towards the 2010 elections, using our kids as the Democrats’ goons. The internship form begins with a nakedly partisan and propagandistic appeal: “Organizing for America, the successor organization to Obama for America, is building on the movement that elected President Obama by empowering students across the country to help us bring about our agenda of change. OFA is launching a national internship program connecting students all over the country with our organization on the ground – working to make the change we fought so hard for in 2008 a reality in 2010 and beyond.”</p>
<p>Jamie, can you imagine if the Republicans attempted such a stunt? Obama is using the public school system to help ensure Democratic victories in 2010, 2012, and thereafter.</p>
<p>This is incredible. And it’s profoundly wrong, to say the least. And it is no accident. Obama is poisoning our public school system. He acts as if it’s his own private recruiting farm.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>The Obama camp has done questionable things in public schools before, hasn’t it?</p>
<p><strong>Geller:</strong> Yes, Jamie. In September 2009, all public school students were forced to listen to his creepy speech about working hard in school. During the campaign the Obama camp had “Kids for Obama Parades.” And public school teachers more than once were caught indoctrinating children into the Obama cult.. Remember the uniformed children chanting about how Obama had motivated them to succeed? P.J. Gladnick wrote about that video at <em>Newsbusters</em> in October 2008 that it was “reminiscent of North Korean kids chanting out their praises for the ‘Dear Leader.’” And don’t forget those many videos of public school kids singing brainwashed tunes of Obama praise.</p>
<p>Long before he was President, Obama’s camp had targeted children and started building a cult of adulation around their hero. The children’s book <em>Barack Obama: Son of Promise, Child of Hope</em> by Nikki Grimes sets Obama up as a demigod: “Ever since Barack Obama was young, Hope has lived inside him. From the beaches of Hawaii to the streets of Chicago, from the jungles of Indonesia to the plains of Kenya, he has held on to Hope. Even as a boy, Barack knew he wasn’t quite like anybody else, but through his journeys he found the ability to listen to Hope and become what he was meant to be: a bridge to bring people together.”</p>
<p>And now once again our perverse public school system abandons academic standards and achievement, replacing them with radical leftist activism from leftwing Alinsky indoctrinators.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>What can parents do about this?</p>
<p><strong>Geller:</strong> Be aware and proactive. Children must be advised to expose this propaganda. Children must tell their parents how they are being used and manipulated. Parents, warn your kids. Don’t let Barack Obama recruit his drones from your family.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>Pamela Geller, thank you for joining us.</p>

<p><strong>FP:</strong> Pamela Geller, welcome to Frontpage Interview.</p>
<p>I would like to talk to you today about Facebook’s Fatwa’s on Rifqa.</p>
<p>What exactly is going on?</p>
<p><strong>Geller:</strong> Thank you Jamie.</p>
<p>Facebook is full of death threats and other vicious material about Rifqa Bary, the teenage convert from Islam to Christianity who is in a fight for her life in juvenile court on Franklin County, Ohio. She left Islam and converted to Christianity, and she has been persecuted for it ever since.</p>
<p>Rifqa’s life is now on the line. Back in September I reported at my website AtlasShrugs.com on the first Rifqa Bary Facebook Fatwa: a Facebook group that said openly, “we need to kill her,” and was full of Muslim members. Now add this to the list of fatwas and death threats against Rifqa Bary: a Facebook group, again with numerous Muslim members, proclaiming, “Don’t save Rifqa Bary, let them kill her.” Although I have called attention to that group, it is still on Facebook. It has 64 members, all of them apparently Muslims. Not a Moishe in the mix.</p>
<p>Imagine, these are just the ones we catch. Only G-d knows how many hit squads are out for this young woman.</p>
<p>Another Facebook group screams, “F*** RIFQA BARY !!! SHAME FOR ISLAM !!!!” It has 57 members – once again, all Muslims. This one openly admits what CAIR and other front groups in America lie about: “In Islam, yes, apostasy is the death penalty.”</p>
<p>And yet another Rifqa-hating Facebook group asks if she is the Dajjal, an evil figure from Islamic eschatology. Robert Spencer says: “The Dajjal will at the end of days lead people astray. Muhammad said: ‘The Dajjal is one-eyed and will bring with him what will resemble Hell and Paradise, and what he will call Paradise will be actually Hell; so I warn you (against him) as Noah warned his nation against him.’” The Facebook group says: “Scriptures reveal Dajjal will have one eye. Rifqa Bary has one eye. You be the judge.” It also quotes a dhimmi Christian, Rev. Tim Ahrens, praising the extremist Noor mosque that Rifqa’s parents attend and saying, “I have only ever found graciousness and kindness in my dealings with Muslims.<strong>” </strong></p>
<p>They are screaming it on social networks, but in the case of Rifqa Bary, justice is not blind, it is deaf and dumb. Is Judge Elizabeth Gill and Rifqa’s crack legal defense team going to continue to ignore the death penalty for apostasy under Sharia law for those who leave Islam? Are the CAIR militants going to act like thugs, and intimidate and pervert the American justice system to enforce Islamic law?</p>
<p><strong>FP:</strong> What are other developments since the Rifqa Bary case returned to Ohio?</p>
<p><strong>Geller:</strong> There have been many, especially in recent weeks.<strong> </strong>Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas front CAIR has found out where Rifqa is living.<strong> </strong>Omar Tarazi knows the address of Rifqa Bary’s foster home. How? What Islamist enemy leaked her location to CAIR? She must be moved at once. Who put Rifqa’s life at risk? I would demand a change of venue. The courtroom has been infiltrated, her best interests subverted.</p>
<p>Rifqa’s foster parents have her on lockdown. Rifqa’s <em>limited</em> phone and computer were completely cut off<em> after the hearing of the 22nd. </em>Complete crackdown. All communication to Rifqa was cut off. It was decided that a counselor would determine if she could have contact with friends. The counselor said she could, but nothing has happened. She is literally being treated like a prisoner.</p>
<p><strong>FP:</strong> Sounds like Sharia Law on America soil.</p>
<p><strong>Geller:</strong> That is what is happening Jamie. This is the punishment for female apostasy. House arrest until the apostate recants. This isolation is a form of psychological torture. I thought Obama said no torture for jihadists. So why is a girl in America, guilty only of freedom of religion, allowed to be psychologically tortured? This is mental abuse, and the fact that the parents are behind it with a terror organization as their hatchet man speaks volumes as to what would happen to Rifqa if they ever dared to send her home.</p>
<p>Apparently Rifqa met with and was begging the counselor assigned to her for <em>some contact,</em> any contact, with the people she loves. She told the counselor she was completely isolated. Alone and sad. The counselor agreed and said OK. But nothing has been done. Rifqa’s John Stemberger-appointed lawyers have agreed to this house arrest. She is surrounded on all sides.</p>
<p>Her legal team, still led by her former Florida attorney John Stemberger, is fiercely raising money &#8212; for what? I thought his work was pro bono. And he bungled the case so badly in Florida that I cannot imagine why he is still driving the “strategy”.</p>
<p><strong>FP:</strong> Why has Rifqa’s legal team agreed to or imposed this crackdown in concert with the foster family?</p>
<p><strong>Geller:</strong> I don’t know. Perhaps because those who loved Rifqa would advise her to get new legal help that specialized in apostasy cases. <em>But no one can get to her. A new lawyer could ask for a continuance to prepare for the brutal trial against the Islamic machine. She needs a continuance. </em></p>
<p><em>She has no one now</em>. No one. It has never been this bad for her. And her legal team has not been preparing for trial. They seem to think they can still make a deal with CAIR (Muslim Brotherhood). The Barys will never make a deal. This is jihad. A deal is never going to happen. Rifqa’s lawyers have barely begun taking depositions for Rifqa. They haven’t interviewed any of Rifqa’s witnesses in the trial to prove dependency. And Rifqa’s parents are fighting dependency with every dishonest crooked tool in the Islamist toolbox (taqiya, lies, deception). But the Stemberger-led legal team is still in the earliest stages of preparations.</p>
<p><strong>FP:</strong> What is it exactly that Rifqa’s parents are up to?</p>
<p><strong>Geller: </strong>Rifqa’s parents are fighting dependency by<em> </em>saying there was no conflict in the home. They are saying there is no conflict for apostasy in Islam. Every teaching from the Quran (Allah’s word) says it is the most egregious crime, punishable by death. The devout Barys said “she could practice her Christianity in the home”. Nothing could be farther removed from objective reality. She lived in fear and in secret for years. The beatings, the death threats can all be substantiated by her friends. The nature of the conflict is Islam, yet Rifqa’s lawyers will not present any religious evidence. Ex-Muslims such as Wafa Sultan, Nonie Darwish, and the world’s leading scholar on Islam, Ibn Warraq, would testify. None are being called.</p>
<p>The parents and their CAIR-appointed attorney Omar Tarazi are determining who can speak to Rifqa. They are the only ones who can determine who is on the non-existent visitors list.  And now, still, there is no visitors list. The two closest friends of Rifqa are no longer able to contact her.</p>
<p>In the courtroom on December 22nd, the magistrate told the attorneys she doesn’t want any surprises before they go into any of the hearings, so they meet in chambers first. She wants to know everything that is going to be filed. Every motion, any move…and no Islam. You can not introduce Islam. And yet Islam has been introduced already. Just look at the Facebook threats.</p>
<p>I have said from the very first that Rifqa Bary is the highest value target in America. Apostasy is the most egregious crime against Islam. Her crime is not just against the family. It is against Islam.</p>
<p>I know Ohio law enforcement and Florida law enforcement found<em> no </em><em>threat</em><em> </em>to Rifqa, but perhaps they can put down the kool aid for five minutes and do their jobs.</p>
<p>With sites on Facebook threatening Rifqa with death, everyone should stop the PC Religion-Of-Peace nonsense and get serious. Is law enforcement going to stop playing games and protect this young girl or what? Salman Rushdie did far less.</p>
<p><strong>FP:</strong> What can the average citizen do to help Rifqa? And who can we contact on Facebook to ask why it allows jihad and death threats on its site?</p>
<p><strong>Geller: </strong>Jamie, the average citizen can write to Ohio authorities, including the governor, to protest how they are allowing Rifqa to be railroaded.</p>
<p>Franklin County children services can be reached <a href="http://www.franklincountyohio.gov/children_services/contact-us.cfm">here</a>.</p>
<p>Eric Fenner&#8217;s fax number is 614-275-2755 and his e-mail address is edfenner@fccs.co.franklin.oh.us</p>
<p>The Ohio governor’s office can be reached <a href="http://governor.ohio.gov/Contact/tabid/153/Default.aspx">here</a>.</p>
<p>Also, Governor Strickland is up for re-election. Here is John Kasich&#8217;s <a href="http://www.kasichforohio.com">contact information</a>.</p>
<p>Be vigilant. And pray for her.</p>
<p>As for Facebook, they seem deliberately to make it difficult to contact them. There are contact forms within Facebook itself for members, but it is not easy to know which is the right one that will get to the right person. Readers can and should try abuse@facebook.com, but there is no assurance that anyone with any authority in Facebook will see the message.</p>
<p><strong>FP:</strong> Pamela Geller, thank you for joining Frontpage Interview.</p>

<hr />
<p style="font-family: arial;">
<p style="font-family: arial;">
<p style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In its four years of existence,<a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.huffingtonpost.com/');" href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/" target="_blank">The Huffington Post</a> (aka <span style="text-decoration: underline;">“HuffPost”</span>) has grown from obscurity into the world’s <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/technorati.com/pop/blogs/');" href="http://technorati.com/pop/blogs/" target="_blank">most-visited blogsite</a>, and <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.time.com/time/printout/0,8816,1886214,00.html');" href="http://www.time.com/time/printout/0,8816,1886214,00.html" target="_blank">one of America’s most popular news sites</a>. It now has <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1004022708');" href="http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1004022708" target="_blank">more monthly visitors</a> than the <em>Washington Post</em>, and is supported by some of the largest advertisers in the world. Its representatives have been allowed to <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1878625,00.html?iid=tsmodule');" href="http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1878625,00.html?iid=tsmodule" target="_blank">ask questions</a> at presidential press conferences, and one was even given <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.politico.com/blogs/michaelcalderone/0609/Obama_calls_on_HuffPost_for_Iran_question.html');" href="http://www.politico.com/blogs/michaelcalderone/0609/Obama_calls_on_HuffPost_for_Iran_question.html" target="_blank">preferential treatment</a>. It now enjoys access to, and influence over, the top levels of the U.S. government. Top members of the U.S. Senate are among HuffPost’s official bloggers, including <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.huffingtonpost.com/john-kerry');" href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/john-kerry" target="_blank">John Kerry</a>, <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.huffingtonpost.com/sen-carl-levin/');" href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/sen-carl-levin/" target="_blank">Carl Levin</a>, <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.huffingtonpost.com/chris-dodd');" href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/chris-dodd" target="_blank">Chris Dodd</a>, <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.huffingtonpost.com/sen-barbara-boxer');" href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/sen-barbara-boxer" target="_blank">Barbara Boxer</a> and others.</span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A significant reason for HuffPost’s success and “legitimization” are its claims that it is <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.politico.com/news/stories/0509/22861.html');" href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0509/22861.html" target="_blank">a</a> <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.politico.com/news/stories/0509/22861.html');" href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0509/22861.html" target="_blank">nonpartisan “newspaper,”</a> dedicated to <em><a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.poynter.org/column.asp?id=32&amp;aid=147167');" href="http://www.poynter.org/column.asp?id=32&amp;aid=147167">“ferret(ing)</a> <span style="font-style: normal;"><a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.poynter.org/column.asp?id=32&amp;aid=147167');" href="http://www.poynter.org/column.asp?id=32&amp;aid=147167"><em>out the truth,”</em></a> and <em><a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.portfolio.com/news-markets/national-news/portfolio/2007/11/14/Huffington-Post-Profile/');" href="http://www.portfolio.com/news-markets/national-news/portfolio/2007/11/14/Huffington-Post-Profile/" target="_blank">“debunking</a> <span style="font-style: normal;"><a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.portfolio.com/news-markets/national-news/portfolio/2007/11/14/Huffington-Post-Profile/');" href="http://www.portfolio.com/news-markets/national-news/portfolio/2007/11/14/Huffington-Post-Profile/" target="_blank"><em>the left-right way of thinking.”</em></a></span></em></span></em></span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">HuffPost also <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.huffingtonpost.com/comment/policy/');" href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/comment/policy/" target="_blank">claims</a> to be non-partisan in its moderation of user comments. <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=2010');" href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=2010" target="_blank">Arianna Huffington</a>, the site’s founder and Editor-In-Chief, claims HuffPost has <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.huffingtonpost.com/arianna-huffington/bill-oreilly-needs-to-en_b_92646.html');" href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/arianna-huffington/bill-oreilly-needs-to-en_b_92646.html" target="_blank"><em>“a zero tolerance policy”</em></a> for hate speech, and that it acts vigilantly to keep its comment threads free of offensive content, 24-7.</span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Unfortunately, HuffPost consistently “frames” news stories in such a way that incites anti-Israel perceptions and hatred. Further, in violation of its own policies, it approves and tolerates user comments submitted in response to these stories that contain incendiary, hate-filled libels against Israelis and Jews, as well as links to anti-Semitic hate websites.</span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Given the fact that an estimated 135,000 of Huffington Post’s unique monthly visitors reside in Iran and Pakistan, there is great concern among informed observers that its incitement against Israel influences perceptions far outside the United States.</span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This report, the result of three years of observation, documents:</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Numerous examples of Huffington Post’s incitement of anti-Israel perceptions, and the defamatory user comments that have appeared on the site in response, with special focus on Israel’s recent Operation Cast Lead.
<p></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The fact that many of the most egregious violators of Huffington Post’s stated policies, including some of its most prolific anti-Semitic propagandists, remain active users – some, with tens of thousands of comments in their archives.
<p></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The fact that contrary to Huffington Post’s public statements, since at least March 2008, it has been pre-moderating all user comments, meaning that all of the hateful and defamatory comments that appear have been approved by its moderators.
<p></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All of the following anti-Semitic user comments were published <em>after</em> HuffPost <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/4.bp.blogspot.com/_XLVZ0IbIMas/SitxMK82x6I/AAAAAAAAAGs/PJo1Q3VmAAY/s1600-h/03Mar08BRODIGAN_1.jpg');" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_XLVZ0IbIMas/SitxMK82x6I/AAAAAAAAAGs/PJo1Q3VmAAY/s1600-h/03Mar08BRODIGAN_1.jpg" target="_blank">announced</a>, in March 2008, that the only comments that would appear on its site are those that a human moderator had reviewed, approved and made the decision to publish. Ms. Huffington <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.poynter.org/column.asp?id=32&amp;aid=147167');" href="http://www.poynter.org/column.asp?id=32&amp;aid=147167" target="_blank">confirmed</a> this fact, several months later.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>“Jews are evil. Israel runs the world. Lets kill ‘em all and give the land back to Islam; result-perpetual peace. Seig Heil.”<br />
<em><span style="font-weight: normal;">By “pedrothemigrant,” 5/23/08</span></em></strong></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>“Funny how [Israelis] had NO problem with wiping the [Palestinians] off the face of the earth until they discovered they might actually be able to strike back in a meaningful way. proof that bullies like this are nothing but cowards.”<br />
<em><span style="font-weight: normal;">By “peacekitten,” 1/2/09</span></em></strong></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>“There’s a reason they [Jews] have been the most problematic group for thousands of years.”<br />
<em><span style="font-weight: normal;">By “Amennyc,” 1/4/09</span></em></strong></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>“[W]omen holding limp little bodies of children in their hands, crying, as an Israeli soldier aims an AK.-47 at her head. With each civilian casualty Israel gets closer to the regime in Germany that provided the impetus for the creation of Israel.”<br />
<em><span style="font-weight: normal;">By “SkepticHume,” 1/3/09</span></em></strong></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>“Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right, Here I am, stuck in the middle with Jooooz [Jews]“<br />
<em><span style="font-weight: normal;">By “JamesR.,” 11/22/08</span></em></strong></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>“They [Jews] all need to be rounded up and gassed.”<br />
<em><span style="font-weight: normal;">By “markoze,” 12/30/08</span></em></strong></span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Perhaps more shockingly, all of these comments were posted by users whose accounts are <em>still active</em> (they have not been banned), some of whom HuffPost has allowed to post thousands of additional comments. This stands in stark contrast to the fact that HuffPost routinely bans other users who don’t violate its policies — some after as few as <em>six comments</em> — but dare to challenge or mock the radical leftists that the site attracts.</span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These comments are representative of thousands of others containing anti-Semitic and Israel-bashing libels, hate and propaganda that have been published on HuffPost in recent years. Columbia University professor Lincoln Mitchell recently <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/lincoln-mitchell/the-shooting-anti-semitis_b_214140.html">claimed</a> that on nearly every HuffPost news story concerning international affairs, <em>regardless of the topic,</em> he and his friends usually find that it takes no more than <em>ten comments</em> before its users are finding a way to blame Jews.</span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The most incendiary of these comments are usually submitted in response to “news” stories that HuffPost publishes regarding Israel, which it consistently “frames” in ways that incite inaccurate and unjustifiably negative perceptions of the Jewish state, and particularly its military. HuffPost does this primarily through the use of inflammatory, decontextualized headlines and headline imagery, and biased “news” sources. Examples of this incitement include:</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Its daily depiction of Israel’s incursion into Gaza in December 2008, in which it cast Israeli soldiers as thuggish villains, Palestinian civilians as their targets, and Hamas terrorists (often labeled as <em>“security forces”</em>) as victims. One example of this was its headline on 12/29/08 that featured a picture of a dead Muslim toddler, alongside text that claimed, <em>“Israeli assault targets symbols of Hamas power.”</em>
<p></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Its headline story on 3/11/09 featured Charles Freeman’s claims that a Jewish conspiracy led him to withdraw his nomination to a national security post.<em> HuffPost did not post any indication of the broad, bipartisan opposition to his nomination.</em>
<p></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It uncritically uses biased Arabic “news” sources – including the <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/littlegreenfootballs.com/article/32867_Al_Jazeera-_The_Network_That_Praises_Child_Killers');" href="http://littlegreenfootballs.com/article/32867_Al_Jazeera-_The_Network_That_Praises_Child_Killers" target="_blank">jihadist-celebrating</a> al Jazeera (also a past HuffPost <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.reuters.com/article/mediaNews/idUSN1738968120090218');" href="http://www.reuters.com/article/mediaNews/idUSN1738968120090218" target="_blank">advertiser</a>) – as single-sources for its headlines. One example was its 5/29/09 article that used a little-known Arabic “news” source’s account of what it described as an “activist” that was killed by the Israeli military. 24 hours earlier, the “activist” was identified by CNN as a suspect in several deadly terror attacks, and that the Israeli military had attempted to arrest him. Instead, he opened fire on them, and was killed.<em> None of this was covered in HuffPost’s depiction of the incident.</em>
<p></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Its prominent positioning on 8/19/09 of a blood libel against Israel — that it murders Palestinians in order to harvest their organs — even though the “reporter” behind the story <em>admitted in the article </em>that he has <em>“no idea… no clue”</em> if the allegations are true or not. <em>Soon thereafter, credible sources determined that these allegations were physically impossible, and further discredited the “reporter.” Yet HuffPost gave these stories little to no “play” (certainly nowhere near the prominence of the original blood libel).</em></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Given the growing <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-70335677156278639');" href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-70335677156278639" target="_blank">resurgence</a> of anti-Semitism worldwide, HuffPost — like every other “legitimized,” advertiser-supported “newspaper” — is obliged to ensure that its “news” stories concerning Israel are fact-based and contextual. Further, HuffPost is obligated to enforce its nonpartisan comment moderation policy. In both of these regards, HuffPost is failing profoundly.</span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is hoped that<strong> </strong>this detailed report will spur HuffPost to take corrective measures to ensure that it is living up to its self-proclaimed standards, particularly in regards to Israeli and Jewish affairs.</span></p>

<p><strong>FP:</strong><strong> </strong>Pamela Geller, welcome back to Frontpage Interview.</p>
<p>I would like to talk to you today about a mass Muslim immigration plan that is going into the works in Europe and not too many people know about it. Can you enlighten us please?</p>
<p><strong>Geller:</strong> Thanks, Jamie.</p>
<p>The disastrous and suicidal pact called the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership is in the process of going into effect, with little fanfare or examination. It boggles the mind that such a consequential and seismic cultural shift could be mandated and put into play without so much as a murmur from the mainstream media.</p>
<p>The European human rights group called Stop the Islamisation of Europe (SIOE) has been working tirelessly to expose the mass Muslim immigration plan of the Euro-Med Partnership. A statement on the SIOE website criticizes the secrecy of the process:</p>
<p>&#8220;It was shocking to hear about the plans and at the same time knowing that Danish politicians and a [cowardly] Danish press &#8212; who is otherwise proud to be critical &#8212; has told nothing to the Danish people about this project which begins already in January next year [2010]. This also showed clearly at the conference. Only very few politicians showed up and no media. Those politicians who showed up had obviously never heard about the Euro-Mediterranean project.”</p>
<p>The goal of the Euro-Mediterranean cooperation is to create a new Greater European Union encompassing both Europe and North Africa, with the Mediterranean Sea becoming a<strong> </strong>domestic Eurabian sea. The goal is to establish a “comprehensive political partnership,” including a “free trade area and economic integration”; “considerably more money for the partners&#8221; (that is, more European money flowing into North Africa); and &#8220;cultural partnership&#8221; &#8212; that is, importation of Islamic culture into post-Christian Europe.</p>
<p>According to the SIOE, in the Euro-Med plan, &#8220;Europe is to be Islamized. Democracy, Christianity, European culture and Europeans are to be driven out of Europe. 50 million North Africans from Muslim countries are to be imported into the EU.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>Who exactly is behind this agenda? Why is it being done so secretly and how come it is allowed to happen this way?</p>
<p><strong>Geller:</strong> Jamie, this agenda is being pushed at the highest levels of the European Union. The official EuroMed Partnership website says it’s an initiative of “the EU and its southern neighbors.” And it’s huge in scope. Recently in Brussels there was a summit meeting of trade ministers from 43 countries in Europe and the Mediterranean. And it’s being done secretly because the European governing elites know the people of Europe wouldn’t go along if they knew what was happening.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>How does this effect<strong> </strong>America and Americans?</p>
<p><strong>Geller: </strong>Americans have to care about this for a number of reasons. Short term the most obvious reason presented itself on Christmas day, when a jihadi from Amsterdam attempted to blow up a passenger jet carrying 278 people as it was landing in Detroit. A flood of Muslims into Europe, many of them &#8220;devout,&#8221; would increase the security risks to America.</p>
<p>And the destruction of national identity also bodes ill for us. This internationalism is already destroying what has made Europe free and great. And now Barack Obama seems to want to do the same thing to America.</p>
<p>Longer term, a Euro-Arab partnership would put control of the oil in the hands of the new Eurabians, leaving America at a distinct disadvantage. Oil is power, and we would be at their mercy.</p>
<p>More troubling is that we seem to be following the same European model of Muslim immigration. We have opened up Islamic immigration via diversity visas and religious visas to countries that are hotbeds of jihadist activity.</p>
<p>The European model is in play.</p>
<p><strong>FP:</strong> So is all of this taking effect now?</p>
<p><strong>Geller:</strong> Indeed it is. EuroMed agreements have already begun to take effect. The British newspaper the Daily Express reported back in October 2008 about “a controversial taxpayer-funded ‘job centre’ “that opened in Mali at that time as “just the first step towards promoting ‘free movement of people in Africa and the EU.’ Brussels economists claim Britain and other EU states will ‘need’ 56 million immigrant workers between them by 2050 to make up for the ‘demographic decline’ due to falling birthrates and rising death rates across Europe.”</p>
<p>To offset this decline, a “blue card” system is to be created that will allow card holders to travel freely within the European Union and have full rights to work &#8211; as well as the full right to collect welfare benefits.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>What can be done to block this project?</p>
<p><strong>Geller: </strong>Europeans and Americans must become aware of what is going on and fight it. The EuroMed Partnership will destroy what is left of European civilization, and ultimately shake the foundations of this country. Free people must not allow that to happen. We must stand up and demand that our leaders protect our civilization and take our countries back.</p>
<p><strong>FP:</strong><strong> </strong>Pamela Geller, thank you for joining Frontpage Interview.</p>

<p><strong>FP:</strong> Pamela Geller, welcome to Frontpage Interview.</p>
<p>The organization SIOE (Stop the Islamization of Europe) held a demonstration recently in Harrow, England. Tell us what happened and what it signified.</p>
<p><strong>Geller:</strong> Thanks Jamie.</p>
<p>Last week, on December 13, Stop the Islamization of Europe (SIOE) held a protest rally in what can only be described as an Islamic fortress in the heart of Harrow, England. I strongly urged Jews to attend.</p>
<p>We are all aware of <a href="http://www.andrewbostom.org/content/view/15/1/">Islamic anti-Semitism</a> and the toxic danger it poses to Jews. The promise of Jewish genocide is made “sacred” by Islamic texts such as the one in which Muhammad says that the end times will not come until the Muslims kill the Jews, and the Jews hide behind trees, which then cry out, “O Muslim, there is a Jew hiding behind me, come and kill him.”</p>
<p>The SIOE demonstration was against the building of a mosque there, and the larger issues of the advance of Sharia and Islamization in the United Kingdom. SIOE pointed out the words of the Prime Minister of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan: “The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets and Muslims our soldiers…”</p>
<p>Political parties, racist chanting, banners and placards, and totalitarian symbols such as Nazi swastikas, communist hammer and sickles, and the Islamic star and crescent were banned. The initial announcement of the demonstration asked those attending to bring one thousand Israeli flags, and said: “SIOE supports Israel’s right to defend itself against Islamist attempts to annihilate Jews.”<em> </em>The<em> </em>SIOE called on Jews living in London or within traveling distance of London to attend the demonstration, saying that:</p>
<blockquote><p>“vile anti-Semitism is being preached in mosques across the world and almost certainly the one in your neighbourhood….Non-Jews are demonstrating on 13th December against the anti-Semitism being taught in mosques which goes unchallenged by politicians, the media and so-called ‘moderate’ Muslims. Jews cannot, in all conscience, leave it to non-Jews to protest on the behalf of Jews who are once again the world’s whipping boy.”</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>FP:</strong> And so Jews came out in full force?</p>
<p><strong>Geller:</strong> No Jamie, they did not. The Community Security Trust (CST), a leading Jewish group in Britain, urged the Jewish community there not to support the demonstration. The CST said in a statement that it “has drawn attention to the Islamaphobic comments on SIOE’s website, and compared the group to the English Defence League, and the BNP’s Nick Griffin, who have attempted to gain support from Jews through pro-Israel and anti-Muslim statements…. A demonstration against Harrow mosque under the banner ‘Stop the Islamization of Europe,’ is as stupid and offensive as a demonstration against Harrow synagogue, under the banner ‘Stop the Zionization of Europe.’”</p>
<p>Once again leftist Jews were lying and deceiving to advance the aims of the enemies of Jews and Jewish life. Stephen Gash of SIOE responded: “I have stood several times in elections against the BNP and what they stand for. Equating synagogues to mosques is reprehensible in my view. When terrorists leave synagogues to blow up planes and tube trains then we at SIOE might reconsider our position. Until that happens we will continue to support Israel and the right of Jews to exist and to defend themselves.”</p>
<p>Rabbis attacked the SIOE campaign also. They said that SIOE’s “only purpose” was “to spread hatred and fear,” and wrote: “We share the desire of the Muslim community of Harrow to respect our mutual traditions, to learn from each other’s cultures and ways of life, and to live together in peace.” Even the Rabbis abandon Israel when the going gets rough. These morally ill rabbis have lost their basic instinct of self-preservation.</p>
<p><em>The Jewish Chronicle</em> even went so far as to gloat when attendance was small. Did the <em>Chronicle</em> ask why so few people attended this demonstration in a town where the majority does not want this mosque? The majority knows what’s happening in their country and fear it. But the <em>Chronicle </em>did not restate the obvious – that people did not attend out of fear.</p>
<p>Did the <em>Jewish Chronicle</em> cover the Death to the Jews protests back in January? Does the <em>Jewish Chronicle</em> cover the ongoing jihad against the Jews? We know the answer.</p>
<p><strong>FP:</strong> How do we interpret this phenomenon?</p>
<p><strong>Geller: </strong>Much like the Jewish councils of World War II Germany that helped assist in what would become the extermination of the Jews, we are witnessing Jewish groups like the CST aiding and abetting Islamic jihad and Islamic anti-Semitism.<strong> </strong>I see the Muslim community doing nothing to expunge their own texts and their own teachings of the virulent Jew hatred that fills the Koran and Hadith.</p>
<p>Jewish history is littered with these <a href="../2009/12/04/collaborators-in-the-war-against-the-jews-richard-a-falk-by-steven-plaut/">collaborators</a>. And we see them everywhere in our current environment. The failure of many Jews to stand up and fight this century’s Philistines after thousands of years of persecution is difficult to swallow. Can one deny that there is some kind of death wish present here?</p>
<p>And what I would like to ask is: when has the Muslim community ever stood against anti-Jewish protesters? Where were Muslims during the “Death to Jews” marches across the UK during the defensive war in Gaza? Where are the Muslim groups and Jewish groups demanding that Jew hatred be expunged from the Koran and Islamic teachings?</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>What are your thoughts on this international cultural acceptance of Islamic anti-Semitism and simultaneous demonization of Israel?</p>
<p><strong>Geller:</strong> The demonization of Israel is Jew hatred. On many levels, what is happening today is more dangerous than Nazism in the sense that Nazism was perpetrated covertly.  What we are witnessing today is done overtly: anti-Zionism is a modern variation on an age-old hatred. The Nazis hid the extermination. Work camps were death camps but no one knew what was really going on behind those walls until the Nazis were defeated. Today the haters take to the streets and engage in death to Jews, death to Israel demonstrations across Europe and America. They dance and pass out sweets in the Muslim street when Jews are murdered. What’s so disturbing is that it is being done now under the aegis of the UN.</p>
<p>Caroline Glick said: “They [the UN] have been attacking us for more than 30 years. They express their hatred for us with their ‘solidarity’ with the Palestinian people. That, together with their declaration that Zionism is racism, shows that they have done everything they could to fight against us.” She said that the UN’s anti-Israel stance “is anti-Semitism for the modern age. The attempt to dismiss our legitimate rights is a type of anti-Semitism, and I see no difference between the anti-Semitism of today and that of the past.”</p>
<p>Glick recommended that Israel take “dramatic” action against anti-Semitism at the UN:</p>
<p>“We must attack the hypocrisy of the UN and the international community.”</p>
<p>This of course is not new. But America sanctioning such an abomination is new. The most troubling aspect of this was Obama joining the United Nations human rights council – which teems with the world’s worst human rights violators and Israel bashers.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>Your interpretation of the mindset of the Jewish collaborators?</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Geller: </strong>They are like the Jewish councils of World War II Germany that helped assist in what would become the extermination of the Jews. But that is not fair to the Kapos. The Kapos had no choice, as morally repugnant as they were. These Jews, the Rabbis and Jewish lay leadership, are fighting the last war. Yet that war is over. All their handwringing over Nazis. That war is over. This enemy is here and, as I said earlier, much more dangerous on several realms.  And this anti-Semitism is global, and still they do not see. The Koran’s hatred of the Jews is clear, and still they refuse to see. The vicious hatred of the Jews across the Muslim world, and still these Jews we are discussing refuse to see.</p>
<p>They tear into SIOE and counter jihad efforts, but never do they call the Muslims to task for their Jew-hating rhetoric, their death-to-the-Jews marches, their vile Jew-hating teachings, their relentless campaign against Israel, the Muslim Jew-hatred that is infecting Europe so much that Jews are fleeing in historic numbers.</p>
<p>These Jews think if they go along, if they get along, their enemies will spare them. Despite reality, they believe they can appeal to the enemy’s humanity, despite the lack of evidence of any such quality. These Jews avoid reality &#8212; at the risk of the most dire  consequences.</p>

<p><strong>FP:</strong> Pamela Geller, welcome back to Frontpage Interview.</p>
<p>Tell us about how the The Rifqa Rally went and where the case stands now.</p>
<p><strong>Geller: </strong>The Rifqa Rally on November 16 in Columbus, Ohio, was an enormous success. Freedom lovers traveled from far and wide to stand up for Rifqa&#8217;s religious freedom and human rights &#8212; from Wisconsin, Toronto, California, Dearbornistan (so they said), Michigan, New York, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Texas, Missouri, Louisiana <em>and it was good. </em></p>
<p>Police said about 250 people were there. The Sudanese ex-slave Simon Deng spoke out powerfully about Sharia law, showing how what he suffered under Islamic law (as he was taken into slavery in the Sudan) was the same force that threatens Rifqa&#8217;s life and religious freedom in Ohio today. Nonie Darwish, the courageous ex-Muslim and expert on Sharia, spoke about how Islamic law does call for the death of the apostate, and how Ohio authorities should be protecting Rifqa, not throwing her to the Islamic wolves. James Lafferty of the Anti-Sharia Coalition gave the crowd some tips on what we can do to fight for Rifqa and for freedom. Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch, who helped me organize the Rally, also spoke, along with Rifqa&#8217;s friend Jamal Jivanjee, a Christian pastor in Columbus and himself also an ex-Muslim.</p>
<p>The crowd came away energized and excited, determined not to let Sharia prevail in the U.S., and to stand up against the Islamic machine that is compelling Ohio authorities to implement (unwittingly) Sharia laws about isolating the female apostate.</p>
<p><strong>FP:</strong> What is happening to Rifqa right now?</p>
<p><strong>Geller:</strong> The vise is tightening further on her. The authorities, at the command of the Barys&#8217; lawyer Omar, continue to isolate her. She has been in Ohio for well over a month and still there is no &#8220;approved visitation&#8221; list. How can this be? How can it be that friends who request a visit, and whom Rifqa requests to visit, are repeatedly told &#8220;there is no approved visitation list&#8221;? Is it not the very mission by objective of children&#8217;s services to protect the health and welfare of a child? Why has Rifqa been denied &#8220;pastoral guidance&#8221;? Convicts, murderers, rapists, and pedophiles have access to &#8220;pastoral guidance&#8221;. Is that how powerful and influential Islamic jihad has become in the state of Ohio &#8212; that one young girl is starved of spiritual nourishmen<em>t so as not to insult Islam?</em> Has everyone gone mad?</p>
<p>No phone. No net. No religious succor.</p>
<p>This is why I so fiercely fought her return to Ohio. Columbus is home to one of the largest Somali Muslim populations in the United States, 70,000 and growing. This is the group, Somali Muslims, that has been at the epicenter of myriad busts for jihad in recent weeks (and one coming soon). Is she safe in a devout Muslim community?</p>
<p>The office of Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland (recipient of boucoup Islamo-bucks) issued a statement back on September 14th, on why Rifqa Bary should be returned to Ohio.</p>
<p>&#8220;Child welfare agencies and authorities in Ohio and Franklin County are fully capable of providing for the security and well-being of Ohio&#8217;s children,&#8221; the statement said. &#8220;The governor believes this is a family matter and therefore would most appropriately be handled here in Ohio with the assistance of the child welfare and foster care system.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We have no reason to believe that she would be unsafe in Ohio,&#8221; his statement said.</p>
<p><strong>FP:</strong> It appears that the authorities are actually forcing Rifqa to live under Sharia law right now. Yes?</p>
<p><strong>Geller: </strong>Yes.<strong> </strong>One can see the stark difference in how Florida and Ohio are handling Rifqa. This speaks to my fear of Rifqa’s being returned to Ohio. There is a level of corruption and Islamic influence all the way up to Governor Strickland’s office that is deeply troubling. Strickland is on their payroll. And so now Rifqa Bary’s civil rights are being violated by the state of Ohio. She is being for all intents and purposes held prisoner, deprived of access to a phone, to the Internet, and to public school. And why is all this being done? What crime has she committed? The Ohio authorities may not realize what they are doing, but they are holding Rifqa under house arrest in accord with Sharia law, which stipulates that female apostates are to be imprisoned until they recant. Ohio is effectively practicing Sharia law.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>Where are all the feminists in America coming to the defense of this young Muslim girl?</p>
<p><strong>Geller: </strong>Where indeed? Whenever feminist groups are asked to comment on an honor killing or gender apartheid, they always defer and suggest that the media speak to the Muslim groups. How courageous. It is despicable that feminist groups and child welfare groups are nowhere to be seen. Feminist groups are either afraid of the Islamic supremacists who are trying to deny Rifqa her religious freedom and human rights, hate Christianity for its position on abortion, or they hate America so much that they will be silent when women are being oppressed by a force that also hates America.</p>
<p>The barbaric oppression of women under Sharia has never mattered to American feminists. Hillary Clinton has never said a word about it. Gloria Steinem hasn’t touched the subject. Code Pink has never come out against the barbarians. But they will go to Israel and protest freely their against the Jewish people right to self defense. Morally ill.</p>
<p>If she was a pregnant girl who had run away from a devout Christian home because she wanted an abortion, she would never be returned to home. The left would make her iconic like Roe in Rove v Wade.</p>
<p><strong>FP:</strong> What is the meaning of all these events?</p>
<p><strong>Geller: </strong>Everyone is watching to see what happens to Rifqa. She has become a test case for everyone. The Muslims, the Islamic supremacists, want to prove that a young girl cannot break free, cannot break out of their web, even in America. More importantly, it is a case being watched by every subjugated Muslim dying to break free of the shackles of Islam. If Rifqa can do it and is protected, so can they. This is why it is so critical that she be broken by the Islamic machine.</p>
<p>It’s a test case for free people, and for America also. Will American courts knuckle under to Islamic intimidation and implement Sharia provisions for the isolation of female apostates? Will we stand up and defend religious freedom? Do Muslim girls in the same situation as Rifqa have any hope? Rifqa’s case will show the answer.</p>
<p><strong>FP:</strong> So what’s coming up and what can we do?</p>
<p><strong>Geller:</strong> Well, first Jamie, I’m asking everyone at Frontpage and all of Frontpage readers to please send <a title="http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2009/11/merry-christmas-rifqa.html" href="http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2009/11/merry-christmas-rifqa.html" target="_blank">Rifqa a Christmas card.</a> Let her know you stand with her.  Send it to:</p>
<p>Rifqa Bary<br />
c/o Angela Lloyd<br />
255C Drinko Hall<br />
55 West 12th Avenue<br />
Columbus, OH 43201</p>
<p>There is a dependency hearing on December 22 in Columbus. I know it&#8217;s awfully close to Christmas. I know people will be busy. My kids are in from school too. But we are going to hold another rally.</p>
<p>So join me and other freedom fighters at the <a title="http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/1222-christmas-rally-for-rifqa-on-the-day-of-her-dependancy-hearing.html" href="http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/1222-christmas-rally-for-rifqa-on-the-day-of-her-dependancy-hearing.html" target="_blank">Christmas rally for Rifqa the day of her dependency hearing December 22</a> in Columbus Ohio. Be there. She could be sent back to her devout Muslim home on the 22nd and that extremist Noor Mosque.</p>
<p>How frightening it all must be for her.</p>
<p><strong>FP:</strong> Thank you Pamela Geller.</p>
