We gave up reading Pam Geller’s Atlas Shrugged blog years ago. It’s just not our style. But she’s been relentless on exposing the threat of radical Islam for years. So too Robert Spencer and Gert Wilders.

In the wake of the Charlie Hebdo massacre in Paris, these three hosted a “Draw Mohammed” contest, and yesterday were holding the awards ceremony in a Dallas suburb, not coincidentally at the same event center where earlier in the year local Muslims had held a controversial event.

Near the end of the program, two gunmen rolled up, and opened fire, wounding one security guard. Officers of the Garland Independent School District returned fire, killing both Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi.

Of course, all the usual suspects of the intellectually and morally bankrupt left (and a disgustingly large number on the right) immediately blamed Geller.

Geller argues that radical Islam is a threat, that there are people out there that will seize any provocation, or none, to kill you.

And for that, she’s labeled as a hate monger.
Here’s the winning cartoon:

That’s incredibly mild compared to the political cartoons every conservative in America has to tolerate.

And this, this is just dripping with hatred. I clearly can see how this justifies murder.

 

Here’s all the entries.

As usual, CDR Salamander does a much better job of saying what it is I’m trying to say.

We live in a free (mostly), pluralistic society, where freedom of speech is a right recognized by the Constitution, and for most of our history, deeply embedded in our culture. Increasingly in recent years, however, elements of our society have more and more sought to impose restrictions on speech.  So-called Social Justice Warrior wish to ban any speech that doesn’t meticulously meet their ever shifting standards. As a rule of thumb, if it was said by a white heterosexual male, it should be banned. Feminists on campus wish to ban any speech that doesn’t explicitly endorse their agenda. And of course, some members of the so-called Religion of Peace wish to hold a veto on any expression you may have in regards their religion.

Be damned to them all.

I’m generally an inoffensive guy. I don’t go out of my way to offend or outrage others, and I strive mightily not to take offense or be outraged by others, particularly when someone might be unwittingly offensive. I try to use my manners.

But there is increasingly an element of extremism creeping into society, amplified far  beyond their numbers by social media. And no, it isn’t the political right.

And so, I’m increasingly finding myself in agreement with WeirdDave writing at the Mothership.

Eff Off.

“I’m a dragon-kin, I demand that you respect my draconic traditions!”

No, you’re not. Eff off.

“Oh, your belly dancing is cultural appropriation !”

Eff off.

“That’s your white privilege talking!”

Eff off, I have the same privilege as you do, I’m a free American.

“You’re fat shaming!”

Eff off and eat a salad once in a while.

“I can’t stand these micro aggression from you”

How about a macro aggression? Eff off.

You’re offended? Eff off. It’s your problem, not mine.

You don’t like Geller and friends hosting a contest to draw Mohammed?

Eff off and die.

Of course, I have my own favorite drawing from the contest.
