If you missed my interview with Raheem Kassam on Breitbart radio today:
Geller: Rep. Correa’s Hijab Statue of Liberty Painting Is Offensive to Every Immigrant Fleeing Sharia Oppression
Pamela Geller, editor-in-chief of The Geller Report and president of the American Freedom Defense Initiative spoke with Breitbart News Daily SiriusXM host Raheem Kassam on Wednesday regarding Rep. J. Luis Correa’s (D-CA) painting of the Statue of Liberty wearing a hijab, which he has displayed in his California office.
Geller said, “The art implies that we’re all subjugated, and we are not, and that we all accept it, and we are not. It’s offensive to every freedom-loving American and immigrant, by the way, who is yearning to be free, who escaped the most brutal and extreme ideology on the face of the earth, the sharia.”
Story continues below advertisementGeller also pointed out that she used a similar image on the cover of a book as a warning, not a sign of acceptance, and that Raheem Kassam’s new book, No Go Zones: How Sharia Law Is Coming to a Neighborhood Near You, also uses a similar image on the cover.
“This congressman,” said Geller, “the message is that he’s standing in support of oppression, gender apartheid, female genital mutilation, and honor killing because that’s what that cloth coffin is. It’s a garment of oppression.”

One should’t give knives to madmen, they might use them to cut someone’s throat.
I love me some Pamela Geller.
Ms. Geller’s objections overlook the historic remarks of former President Obama in Cairo on June 4, 2009. Noting that “we meet at a time of tension between the United States and Muslims around the world,” America’s Nobel Laureate graciously affirmed “that Islam has always been a part of America’s story.”
The brilliance of this speech resonates to this day and informs the issues raised by Ms. Geller with respect to the hijab-clad Statue of Liberty. Indeed, in the following eloquent passage the President spoke of all who have come to our shores .
“Much has been made of the fact that an African-American with the name Barack Hussein Obama could be elected President,” observed this transformational young leader. “But my personal story is not so unique. The dream of opportunity for all people has not come true for everyone in America, but its promise exists for all who come to our shores – that includes nearly seven million American Muslims in our country today who enjoy incomes and education that are higher than average.”
President Obama continued as follows: “That is why the U.S. government has gone to court to protect the right of women and girls to wear the hijab, and to punish those who would deny it.”
The Congressman’s painting honors the poignant dream of President Obama.
Very funny, Moshe. lol
o’bimbo is the biggest liar and fool the American’s ever got suckered into electing, twice. Looking at the stupidity that goes on among democrats, not everyone has learned the lessons that were available.
He’s being sarcastic, of course 🙂
Notice the over-the-top praise of o’bimbo, characteristic of his style 🙂
But he, like the semi-regular commenter lately reincarnated as Trump Can’t Islam, is perhaps a little too subtle for this site’s audience.
You are a total idiot and should keep quiet while playing with your allah dildo. Have some more Kool Aid.
At first I thought you were being sarcastic, but no…you truly believe what you wrote and for that I feel sorry for you. You really need to go back to the cave you dragged yourself out of. The only thing historic about Obama is that he was the first President to side with Muslim countries (Islam) over Americans
I wouldn’t give too much credence to Obama’s Cairo
speech if I were you. He lied during it as he always
does. He said near the very end of it that Islam shares
with other religions “Do unto others as you would have
them do unto you”. Which is known as the Golden
Rule.
You can search Islam high and wide – explore the
Koran, the Sira and every Hadith ever written and you
will not find that concept. What you will find instead is
an ideology calling for the subjugation of half the human race (women) and the call to convert to Islam with
dhimmitude for Christians and Jews and death for the
other non-Muslims if they do not.
And THAT is what a hijab clad caricature of the Statue
of Liberty represents.
Boy, are you brainwashed. If you were writing a comment in 1940 you would be gushing over a statue and speech supporting Nazis strutting their stuff in SS uniforms.
“…right of women and girls to wear the hijab”
Right? There is no such right. They are FORCED to wear it, admittedly or not, on the pain of death (in case they will try not to), as they are subject for tribal sanctions including death (“honor killing”) if they’ll refuse. That’s not “right” but PERVERSION of all rights.
apparently you are a childish little troll that loves to stir up real patriots with your senseless juvenile prater.
Nothing new here.
Its sharia/Islam drip by drip . In America we have Islamonazi demanding we stop honoring American soldiers during Memorial day and instead honor Jihadis killed by American Soldiers just the way Palestine govt does to its jihadis !
Hard to believe ? check http://bit.ly/2qvcHov
And why are such scumbags who cannot even respect our soldiers deported after rescinding their citizenship rights & for supporting jihadi terrorists ?
Pamela,
do not expect idiot Correa to understand
he’s a democrat
No intelligence is required to be a democrat.
Intelligence is not desired by any democrat.
Remember what scum we’re dealing with.

Correa is another Demoncrapper that hates America.

Seems to me that stupidity is gradually increasing worldwide. More attacks in Paris and probably in London by the religion of pieces.
That picture is absolutely cringeworthy. It looks like a hooker who got beat up by her pimp.
Now we know where his allegiance is and it isn’t to the United States of America.
And if the Staue was portrayed wearing a yarmulke, there would be howls of protest about the separation of church and state.
