Pamela Geller, blogger with Tea Party ties, launches ad crusade against 'Islamization of America'
<snip>



"A bikini-wearing blogger with Tea Party ties has placed ads on city buses aimed at outraging Muslims.

"Fatwa on your head? Is your community or family threatening you? Leaving Islam?" read the ads bought by rabble-rouser Pamela Geller and the New York-based Stop the Islamization of America.

They also direct Muslims to a Web site urging them to leave the "falsity of Islam."

Geller, 51, a leader in the fight against the proposed Ground Zero mosque, said she was "thrilled" that the ads were up - and doesn't care if they offend Muslims.

"Will it bother Islamic supremacists? Yes," she said.

Geller said she spent $10,000 - money raised by readers of her Atlas Shrugs blog - for 40 ads appearing on the sides of buses citywide for a month."

3. Anybody who's a fan of Ayn Rand has NO moral standing whatsoever to call anybody else a fanatic.
Even if they are.

10. While I am no fan of the right wing, she has a small point
Europe is having a huge problem with increasingly aggressive Islamic movements whose stated goals are destroying European liberalism in favor of Sharia law. The more Europe accommodates, the worse it gets. America should learn a lesson in this regard.

In this case the enemy (Islam) of my enemy (Christian religious right) is NOT my friend. They are equally dangerous, and should both be opposed at all stops. There should be NO concern about offending either one of them.
