(RNS) By some accounts, the heated opposition to the so-called Ground Zero mosque has been drummed up by a telegenic blogger with a strong New York accent and even stronger opinions.
Pamela Geller, a Long Island native who writes the blog “Atlas Shrugs,” said she was the “quintessential New York City career girl,” before the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
Since then, she has co-founded groups dedicated to fighting the “Islamization” of America, sponsored anti-Muslim ads in several cities, and, more recently, become a near daily presence on television news programs.
“I have nothing against Muslims. I love people,” she said. “But I am opposed to ideology that inspires violence.”
I stumbled on an article about this creature only yesterday! It seems she often decorates her blog with a pic of herself in "her burka". It is a picture of her in a swimming pool, wearing a rather modest bikini. The irony of her conforming to societal mores on covering the body, while criticising others for precisely the same action obviously passed her by.
`Queen of Muslim bashers’ at center of N.Y. mosque debate
I had heard about the Long Island hag who started this whole thing and here's an excellent right up about her.
Thankfully, it seems her 15-minutes are almost up. I love her quote at the end:
I'm not even sure Buddhism gets a pass on that one, honey.
What an ignorant c-word.
........"with a strong New York accent"
First you call her a hag. Then an ignorant c-word. What an unbiased post. Just exactly what has she done to earn that kind of irrational wrath?
You criticize her because she spews insults at Muslims, yet you throw insults at her. How do you not see the humor in this?Opened her stupid pie-hole spewing lies and half-truths all over her stupid blog.
She's a bigoted Long Island twit.
She's pissed on the constitution and ginned up a controversy bases on falsehoods.

And presumably, you by using such language, hope to pursuade by reason of your argument, that your opinion should hold sway over anyone else's?
When you hear some of the vile crap that comes out of her mouth... I don't know how else to react.
IMO - She represents a very ugly and backwards version of America.
Her blog is the moral equivalent of the Nazi articles, pamphlets and films that spoke to the Germans about the "Jewish Question". She spreads hate and intolerance with misinformation and falsehoods. Her message and those that follow her are of great concern to me. She has been successful in corrupting our National Character.
If my language and imagery offends, I apologize, but my initial gut reaction to her is revulsion.
While I understand the raw sensitivity regarding ground zero -- the values and principles in our Constitution represent the truest and best American ideals.
The message we should be sending to the Muslim world is one of forgiveness. That is powerful thing. To say to the Islamic extremists, "Not only can you not destroy our cities, not break our spirit, you will NEVER corrupt our values. WE REFUSE TO BECOME LIKE YOU! We will not let you turn us into vile hateful monsters.
But with this ugly, vulgar woman and her blog, they can grin and see one tiny victory in corrupting us.
The Cultural Center needs to go up and be embraced and visited by the 9/11 victims' families. Think of what a powerful message that would be to the Muslim world. That is how we win.
You're right, people like her bring out the worst in me. And to the extent the muslim world sees her as a representation of American values, she has done great damage to our National image.

I see many others who have in the past and now in the present have or are damaging America to a far worse degree than this lady.
Great, start a thread about them. This thread already has a topic.
And precisely what does that remark have to do with the price of figs?
Why not have intollerant Muslim Imam's, like Rauf, Al'Majid (New Orleans), Al'Roudmush (Miami) and a host of HAMAS/HEZBOLLAH-supporting Imam's go to Chelsea and step foot inside a gay bar?
Would that not show ISLAM'S TOLERANCE to homosexuality?
I would take them to "G-Spot", and other clubs in New York. They could see the d---k dancers, drag queens and "other unclean"
in our community.
It is pretty clear to me what Sharia Law means, what Islam's intentions are, and like Adolf Hitler's murder of gays and lesbians during WWII, I am under no illusions of what these people will do if they gain power in the United States.[/COLOR]
Muslims will never have the type of power in the U.S. that you're talking about
Says who?
You?
Liberals are the Modern Day Kapos of extreme Islamofascism.
