Pamela Geller notes absence of outrage about motives of Boston jihadists
In light of the jihad bombings in Boston, and the media whitewash about their real cause that has followed this week, the question is: Has America lost her soul?
The country that was established on the premise of individual rights and freedoms has, in recent years, abandoned the morality that bound us together as a nation. We have lost our reverence for life and liberty. Our armed forces best illustrate this moral code with their honor code of no man left behind. We go to extraordinary lengths to bring back our fallen, never leaving a man (or woman) on the battlefield – so enshrined in our DNA is the exaltation of humanity.
And yet we see a disturbing trend: America did not rally, protest or demand answers when the Obama administration classified the Fort Hood jihad massacre not as terrorism, but as “workplace violence.” No one – not any politician or mainstream media figure of significance – called Obama on his cover-up of the jihad motive in the slaughter of our unarmed soldiers in Texas.
And the same nonchalance was exhibited in the wake of the jihad massacres of Ambassador Chris Stevens and other Americans in Benghazi on Sept. 11, 2012. Our ambassador and attaches were slaughtered in cold blood in Benghazi, and Obama and several administration officials blamed the First Amendment, saying that it had all happened because of a video about Muhammad. And yet there was still no outcry. Two soldiers held off a jihadi army for over seven hours while calling and begging for help, for cover, and no one came. That was unforgivable. Did America demand answers?
Worse still, the nation re-elected this deceiver.
There was also the sharp spike in “green-on-blue” attacks – murders of American and allied troops by our Afghan “partners.” Soldiers we train are turning on our boys, the same people who are training them, and killing them in cold blood. And still no outcry.
But this? This is a defining moment. Will America turn a blind eye to the motive in the Boston bombing? Mothers, babies and families were targeted for slaughter and mutilation on the streets of a happy, glorious event on Patriots Day. Will the people rise up and demand that Obama address the jihad threat? Will there be any call on Obama to return the now-banned word “jihad” and honest discussion of Islam to counter-terror training materials? Will the American people demand the document regarding the Saudi national al-Harbi, who was questioned and then hastily exonerated over the Boston jihad bombings, and then set for quick deportation – a deportation that was allegedly tied to the Boston bombings?
Or have we lost our soul as a people united in a shared value system that places the lives of Americans above all else?
The fact that the FBI was warned about the jihadi Tamerlan Tsarnaev and did nothing is a reflection of the Obama scrub of counter-terror training materials. They had him, they talked to him – and what did they do? Nothing.
Why wouldn’t they surveil him? Because Muslim Brotherhood groups in the U.S. like the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) and so many others have embedded operatives in positions of power and used their lapdogs in the mainstream media to bully our law enforcement agencies into dropping such programs. The Associated Press won a Pulitzer Prize for exposing these surveillance programs several years ago. Can we withdraw that award on the blood and flesh of the 200 victims of the Boston jihad?
These same Muslim Brotherhood groups – CAIR and ISNA, as well as the Muslim American Society, the Muslim Students Association and others – have warned the Muslim community not to talk to law enforcement, and clearly they haven’t. When the authorities circulated photos of the Tsarnaev brothers, no one who knew them in the Muslim communities in Massachusetts came forward to identify them. That is deeply troubling.
Worse still, so many jihad plots have been thwarted by an FBI operative who infiltrated a cell or befriended a jihadist with murderous plans, and in these cases, Muslim Brotherhood groups agitate for the freedom of the jihad plotters, saying that they were “entrapped.”
Well, the FBI didn’t infiltrate this Boston jihad cell – and we have CAIR et al. to thank for that.
Will Americans just go along like sheep to slaughter, or will they rage against the machine? The time is now. Our history and, more importantly, our future demand it.

I personally trust the Obama government to direct the country on the course that makes America successful and a great country. We don’t know the information Obama has when he makes decisions about how we should proceed. What I do mind is the press picking up on every minute detail and trying to make a big deal out of it, thanks to 24 hour news.
America’s lack of outrage over the Boston bombers? Not at all! But maybe we have evolved to put that outrage into good deeds and determination to find the perpetrators and punish them. That we did. There are two kinds of Muslims, peaceful Muslims and politicized Muslims. In Minneapolis Jews, Christians and Muslims have joined up to help our communities, and they are successful.
It occurred to me there may never be peace between Jews and the Palestone Muslims. One culture celebrates murderers, the other jails them. The last thing the world needs is more Muslim terrorists released on the streets. It may be that future generations of Palestones will be smarter than the ones present today–I hope so. I don’t see Israel releasing Palestone prisoners under any condition, until they have served their sentences. I want to see Abbas and Mr. Netanyahu in face to face peace negotiations. Then we’ll see how Abbas handles himself when he knows he can’t get away with the crap he feeds the West.
On immigration and Mexicans, this has been going on for so long it handles itself. Mexicans have no problem being loyal to the U.S. They have been good citizens and their numbers are growing. Yet they will always be of Mexican ethnicity. There’s no problem here. It’s interesting that Mexicans, who mostly are Catholics, pray to Mother Mary because they say they get more results than when they pray to Jesus. Pope John Paul had a statue of Mary, I think it is called the Fatima, installed in the Vatican, and he also prayed to her.
I don’t think America is failing Like Jews, we have a creative power that is astounding.

@ Joe Gold:
Try telling your nonsense to the family of 8-year-old Martin Richard. It doesn’t matter what Biden called them, or what you call them; the Tsarnaev boys are murderers, pure and simple, inspired by the ideology of a 7th Century religious cult; that rewards wife-beating, honor killings, and murder, to advance itself. Obama himself isn’t a Jihadi, but he’s something worse–a Jihad enabler. Excuse me…Boston didn’t happen in the mind of Pamela Geller. Neither did 9/11 or the Ft. Hood massacre. Wake up–before Boston becomes the “new normal.” Because its only a short step from there–to frequent Islamic attacks on our institutions and infrastructure.

Let me tell you, this Rabbi knows what he is talking about.
The Decline and Fall of the American Empire
Wake up Americans I want my country back and I hope you all do likewise.
@ Laura:
Its depends on what area of the USA . Notice with what dignity the people of the Mid-west handle their flooding and how Texan han their recent trajady.
@ Joe Gold:
You are blissfully ignorant.
I don’t think the American people have lost their souls. But our government and media apologists for islam are another matter.
Joe Gold Said:
Were there “knock-off Victumns”?
Obama IS a secret Jihadi and its not much of a secret for anyone with eyes to see. And although sharia has not taken over the USA yet, it certainly is heading in that direction and with frighteningly little resistance.
@ Joe Gold:
If anything Geller is too restricted and too PC. It’s not radical Islam, it’s Islam. There is Islam in all it many faces and there is Islam that is not practiced by apostates. Most Muslims do not consider those so called ‘apostate moderates’, real Muslims. They are targeted as apostate traitors no less than any infidel in some cases even more so.
What does the amt of makeup Geller uses have do with anything?
“In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person’s becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American…There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag… We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language… and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”
Theodore Roosevelt, 1919
The left would call this policy Anti American and Pierre Trudeau destroyed this concept when his Lib party imposed multiculturalism in Canada which is baby stepping urban Canada to Eurabia and when Justin takes over daddy’s job, we will be cruising to Eurabia.
The Third Jihad – Radical Islam’s Vision for America
Fox News:The Threat of Radical Islam (Pt. 1 of 6)
E.D Hill was fired from Fox after this special and when fox was offered “By the same producers” to broadcast “The second part “The Third Jihad” above, they refused the film.
The Boston Bombers were more like Leopold and Loeb than real muhjadeen. The 19 year old knew nothing about Islam. He smoked dope and chased girls. He was in it for the kicks. VP Biden today called them “knockoff jihadis” because that’s what they were. Geller lays on the makeup a little too thick on her face and on her “Evil Islam” loonytoon theories. In her mind Obama is a secret jihadi himself and sharia law has taken over Hawaii, Michigan, and California.
