Robert Spencer : Pamela Geller was on The Joe Hoft Show on the Real Talk Network on Thursday to discuss current events and the current social and political landscape. Pamela
has been fighting the radical left and brutal Islamist threat for over
two decades. She was famously targeted by jihadists who issued a fatwa
for her death numerous times over the years.
During Thursday’s
interview she shared the horrific experience on how two Islamists
attempted an attack on her free speech event in Texas in 2015. These
radical Islamists traveled from Arizona to Texas to kill Pamela. They
were shot dead before they could kill others.
Pamela then survived
another jihadist plot on her life. This time an ISIS devotee planned
to kill her at her home. He was caught on his way to her residence.
She testified at his trial where he was sentenced to 28 years in prison
for the attempt on her life.
In 2018 Pamela’s daughters were
doxxed by a writer at the Daily Beast. The writer Taylor Lorenz doxed
her lovely and successful young daughters. This was only a couple of
years after Pamela was nearly killed in Texas. Lorenz was rewarded
following her disgusting hit piece on Geller’s daughters with a position
at The New York Times.
Lorenz is now at the Washington Post. She continues to dox individuals she does not agree with, often targeting their family members and minors.
Pamela
discussed this situation and what it was like as a parent to have her
children put in mortal danger by Taylor Lorenz and the liberal media.
This was after Pamela was put on a list of targets by ISIS.
If
you can’t share a piece of artwork or you can’t share a cartoon then
anything is verboten. Yes, I’ve known Jim, it’s got to be going on 20
years and we’ve always shared the vision that our age was witnessing the
ultimate climax of the long process of destruction at the end of the
road by really, the global left.
Yes, I focused on jihad,
because that was what I saw as the imminent threat to our freedom. I
felt without freedom of speech, everything else is irrelevant…
…Without
freedom in elections, all of this is just chatter. It’s flapping
tongues. Why that is not the preeminent issue for every Republican
Congressman, Senator, etc. Everyone who has not made this the priority
is part of the problem.
Next Pamela talked about Taylor Lorenz “who attempted to destroy another effective Twitter account, another effective voice.”
Her
first casualty, as you know, were my children. When they were
unsuccessful in taking me down no matter how they targeted me, no matter
what they did, no matter what they said, they went for my kids who were
completely apolitical… I was living under a very serious fatwa, which
is an Islamic death ruling under Sharia, under Islamic law. We had a
joint terrorism task force in my house, almost every day for a while.
It was a very terrifying situation and she [Lorenz] outed them.
Pamela
then talked about the takeover of our institutions and how the monsters
claim they are the victims. The rest of the interview was amazing.
