Founder of the American Freedom Defense Initiative and all-person Islam-hater Pamela Geller seems—dare we say it—pretty pleased that two lunatics came to the AFDI’s “Draw Muhammad” cartoon exhibition and shot a security guard before being killed by police. In interviews and on her blog, Geller says the violence proves that Islam is “savagery” and “thuggery.”
After more than a decade of promoting the most vitriolic anti-Islam sentiment possible, the attack in Garland is, as the New York Times points out, the first time Geller’s group has faced a violent response. She’s milking it for everything it’s worth, appearing this morning on Fox News with Sean Hannity and Brandon Darby, the FBI informant turned managing editor of Breitbart Texas.
Geller accused the left of ignoring “the ideology behind” the shooting, by which she means Islam. She also called herself, essentially, the only true champion of free speech, vowing, “I will hold a thousand exhibits in solidarity with the Charlie Hebdo editorial staff.”
Geller added, “We are not going to abridge our freedoms so as not to offend savages.”
