Mr. Habeeb Ahmed

By Pamela Geller:

I am set to speak at the Great Neck Synagogue in Great Neck, N.Y., on April 14. But last week, investigative journalist Tom Trento uncovered emails that reveal a coordinated leftist/Muslim campaign to intimidate synagogue officials into canceling my talk.

Within an hour after learning that I was set to speak, Habeeb U. Ahmed of the Islamic Center of Long Island and Commissioner of the Nassau County Human Rights Commission, wrote to a group of area leftist leaders: “Dear Friends, We need to stop her from coming to Great Neck. … Do we do a petition on the stationary of council of churches, The Interfaith Alliance and The Holocaust Center?? Her views are well known. She is the personification of an Islamophobe!!!”

The subsequent email exchange shows how the leftist/Muslim machine operates against freedom fighters. The leftist and Muslim anti-free speech thugs deploy their forces carefully, mirroring Sun Tzu and Muhammad in exploiting the arts of war. They opted, instead of going with a public petition, to go right to the top, target the leadership and apply enormous pressure at the most senior level.

In this case, they set their sights not only on the Great Neck Synagogue, but even on the Chief Rabbi of New York. In the email exchange, Claire Deroche, social justice coordinator of The Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Shelter Rock in Manhasset, N.Y., wrote to the group: “The group I was speaking with last night who gave me this information suggested contacting other rabbis in the area who would then contact the Great Neck Synagogue. They also talked about contacting the chief rabbi of the big synagogue in Manhattan and asking him to contact Great Neck Synagogue.”

Their attempt to get Jews to come out against me was understandable – it’s a strategy that has succeeded well in the past. Part of their strategy is to divide and conquer. They have been wildly successful in splitting American Jews and weakening the forces opposing the jihad against the Jews. You never see Muslims protesting Islamic supremacists such as Imam Faisal Rauf or Reza Aslan. But there are always plenty of Jews protesting against defenders of Israel. I have never seen Muslims at pro-Israel rallies. I have seen plenty of Jews at anti-Israel rallies.

Their email campaign shows how this is done – how they use devious tactics to destroy people who speak out against the jihad and Islamic supremacism, mobilize lynch mobs of leftist activists and bully those who support freedom fighters until they cave.

Discussion of Effort to Impose Islamic Blasphemy Law on Writer/Activist Pamela Geller Andrew Bostom, March 23, 2013

Yesterday I was interviewed by Tom Trento who uncovered an e-mail string which revealed the effort of mainstream Sharia supremacist Muslims on Long Island, New York, and their dull-witted non-Muslim abettors, to impose Islamic blasphemy law on writer activist Pamela Geller.

Invoking the bogus issue of “Islamophobia”—an Orwellian effort to turn on its head the sacralized Islamic doctrine of instilling fear in the non-Muslim infidel for the purposes of Islamization—the e-mail string unmasks what in reality is yet another campaign to crush Western free speech, in accord with Islamic blasphemy law.

I love Andrew Bostom! His vocabulary is delightfully challenging and I frequently have to look up at least one word when reading his articles. So I was amused when in this interview Tom Trento remarks (2:43 on the video) on Andrew’s use of the word “spatchcock” to describe Imam Rauf’s portrayal of Islamic Law to deceive. In effect, Rauf ignores the “backbone” or true meaning of individual liberty from our Bill of Rights by trying to say that it conforms to Sharia Law. This is a part of the stealthy redefining of our sacred terms that Stephen Coughlin talks about in explaining the Saul Alinsky underpinnings of Interfaith Dialogue.

No, Andrew didn’t make the word up! For the record, here is the wikipedia defintion: 

A spatchcock, otherwise known as “spattlecock”, is poultry or game that has been prepared for roasting or grilling by removing the backbone and sternum of the bird and flattening it out before cooking.^[1] The preparation of a bird in such a manner for cooking may also be known as butterflying the bird. The term “spatchcock” is used when the backbone is removed, whether or not the sternum is removed. Removing the sternum allows the bird to be flattened more fully.

“Spatchcock” is also the traditional word for a juvenile chicken (in French, a “poussin”). Poussins or Spatchcocks were generally butterflied in preparation for faster cooking, hence in modern English the word has come to refer to both the bird and the manner in which it was traditionally prepared.
