If circumstances don't permit Miss Geller appearing on our radio program, she'll get as many billets here at Political Pistachio as she wants:
Anti-jihadist activist and blogger Pamela Geller said Friday that "of course" she is afraid for her life, but she's more afraid of not speaking out against radicalism.
"I am more afraid of doing nothing and allowing the infringement of our freedom," Geller told Fox News' America's Newsroom program. "This has to stop. I call on all of us Americans to stand up."
Geller said she has further plans for events such as the one in Texas.
"I am not a Muslim," Geller said. "People need to learn about the jihad doctrine, not shut people up talking about it ... The Koran says 'slay the non-believers wherever you find them.' By shutting them up and disarming the American people at what is now the greatest threat to national security is a recipe for disaster."
But blaming her for such events is like "blaming the rape victim for her too-short skirt," said Geller in response to her critics.
"Why doesn't the left expect Muslims to behave just the ways Catholics, Jews, and Christians do when their religion is mocked?" she said. "They give a special class or status to Muslims, expecting them to act like savages. I don't. Who self-promotes to get themselves killed?"
But she said that her work is "smeared and libeled," but "we do it because what is at stake is our freedom."
