WE DID IT.

Excelsior! Upwards of Eight Thousand Protest 911 Ground Zero Mega Mosque on D Day June 2010

Historic 9/11 Stop the Mosque at Ground Zero Rally September 11

Massive Media Distortion of Massive Rally in New York City

When you showed up at my AFDI/SIOA rally by the tens of thousands, you changed the paradigm. You changed the course of human events. Nothing will be the same. And we will not stop. They will not build that triumphal mosque on top of our dead.

Ground Zero mosque most closely followed topic of 2010 in US, poll says

WASHINGTON – The city’s Ground Zero mosque controversy topped the list of news stories in 2010 that were most closely followed by American adults, according to a Rasmussen Reports survey released today.

 View the full article from the New York Post.

It is all about YOU and the victims and the American patriots. We made that story happen. The subdued media would sooner cut its own throat than speak with candor or criticism about Islam, or report on jihad.

We made that story. And that's important, because we will take the country back without the media and inspite of the smear campaigns, disinformation and propaganda against those of us leading the fight.

Listen to me. The media has lost all credibility. They are done.

The Ground Zero Mosque: The Second Wave of the 911 Attacks

R.S.V.P GROUNDZEROMOSQUE@AOL.COM

If radical Rauf is speaking on his propaganda tour in your town, neighborhood or university, let us know. We'll be there to expose him and tell the truth.

Pamela Geller — Blogger, Provocateur, Lightning Rod - NYTimes.com

Tens of thousands descended upon Ground Zero to remember those we lost nine years ago, and to save the American principles of freedom that the sharia tramples.

Crickets were chirping in taqiyya media newsrooms nationwide (although they were all at our protest). There had been no coverage.

We organized a rally of remembrance that dwarfed the opposition. If the America haters had 4,000, we had ten times more. The media is playing the dueling rallies; it was no such thing.

Free people came from all over the country and all over the world to stand in solidarity with the 911 families and to declare our iron determination that no victory mosque will be built on their graves. The crowd was young and old, black and white ........ politics of all stripes. The crowd was beautiful. The crowd was proud and good and decent America. All the speakers were excellent. Rousing.

But the highlights included Geert Wilders, who was greeted as the great hero that he is, and spoke about how a sharia mosque at Ground Zero would be the death New York's proud tradition of Dutch tolerance.

Ambassador John Bolton spoke bluntly and unequivocally via video link about the affront to American values that this mosque would constitute. 

Other powerful voices included Joseph Nassralla, who was the unwilling media darling of our June 6th rally, when a misunderstanding was blown out of proportion by the mainstream media as a racist incident. Joseph Nassralla was the Arab who was supposedly in a confrontation at that rally. At this rally we were proud to feature him, and he was so passionate and rousing in his love for America and fierce denunciation of the thousand-year-old Islamic oppression of the Coptic Christians in Egypt that the crowd went wild as Joseph led them in cheers of Gd Bless America!

But his warning was clear. The Ground Zero mosque would be the beginning of the end, and Egypt shows where the presence of Islam leads in a free nation.

Steve Malzberg and Mike Gallagher were greeted by huge cheers. It was an historic day in American history. Here is the first of El Marco's peerless coverage. More pictures and video will be going up continuously. So check back. And El Marco  and Pamela Hall will have the definitive post tomorrow (hopefully).

 

“Did New York deserve this? Did America deserve this? Did the West deserve this? What, my friends, would you say to people who argue that New York, that America, that the West had itself to blame for those horrible sounds?

There are people in this city who argue this. And they are angry because we are gathered here today to commemorate, to make a stand, to draw the line. My friends, I have come from the other side of the Atlantic to share your grief for those who died here nine years ago. I have not forgotten how I felt that day.”

Other speakers included 9/11 family members, first responders, and refugees from Islamic regimes.

There were also video addresses by former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton and media-man Andrew Breitbart.

Pamela Geller, author and blogger at Atlas Shrugs, organized the rally together with Robert Spencer, author and blogger at Jihad Watch.

In the crowd there were families of those murdered at 9/11, military veterans, New Yorkers, and people who had travelled from around the country and from abroad to be here today. Three Marine Corps veterans listen intently to war hero Ilario Pantano, candidate for U.S. Congress.

 

UPDATE: Ilario Pantano was fierce. The old guard is done. It is politicians with political courage who will speak for the people. And they are few. Pantano is one of them. If you don't know him, go here. If you want to contribute to his campaign (and you should), go here. If you live in North Carolina, volunteer. Do it.

In the crowd there were families of those murdered on 9/11, military veterans, New Yorkers, and people who had travelled from around the country and from abroad to be here today. Above, three U.S. Marine Corps veterans listened intently to Ilario Pantano, candidate for U.S. Congress.

 

“… Why On 9/11 it wasn’t New York that was attacked, it was America that was attacked. It was freedom that was attacked. And we can’t forget not only what happened, not only the murderous intent that killed 3,000 Americans. We can’t forget for a moment that that they wanted to kill 50,000 Americans, or maybe 100,000 Americans. … We can’t forget that since those attacks, hundreds of thousands of men and women around the world have been killed by jihadists, in the name of radical Islam. From Egypt to Bali, from Baghdad to Kabul, no one can forget there was a car bomb here in Times Square six months ago. Folks, if  you think this is over, it’s just beginning.

… So what’s my opinion about a mosque at ground zero? NO MOSQUE HERE. …”

Pantano tied in Iran’s actions against Israel with the Gaza Flotilla, and pointed out Imam Rauf’s involvement with the Gaza Flotilla, and questioned where the money from the mosque is coming from.

 The People's Cube wants to know, Are you an islamophobe?

 A really great piece over at Modern Conservative, solid reporting: The Great Media Blackout -- props to Jennifer Booth

I’m disturbed, but not surprised at the media blackout for the protest held at the proposed site for the mosque at Ground Zero. I was there, and I stood right behind the platform where the media personnel gathered. Several of them took my picture, while wearing my Infidel shirt. I even said to a few of them, “Give us a good story, please.” They answered me and said they would. They knew my meaning- please don’t skew us, don’t portray us as haters. Be honest. And with the coverage, the amount of people there, the sheer diversity of the crowd: people from England, Australia, Egypt, Iran, Uganda, etc. were in attendance or speaking, I am just dumbfounded that not only did we receive a complete blackout, but in the media reports I have been able to find, they covered a different rally, and called those people us. That’s right, you did not misread. A completely different rally filled with Christian themes and anti-abortion agendas were portrayed as the people who attended the rally which Pamela Geller organized. Just lies.

Therefore, if it’s up to the attendees to document it, to be fair and give ANY kind of accuracy and decent coverage, then so be it. It certainly won’t be the first time it was left up to bloggers to be citizen journalists. Ask those who got Dan Rather fired, or ask Matt Drudge. Below is my account, which I started writing yesterday, September 11, 2010.

UPDATE: Heard this from Judy. Same experience as Zhanna. So this was a pattern ........

I came to the rally and was directed by POLICE to the pro-mosque rally instead. I was not the only one. I knew who our crowd was. I was with a group from TX, a couple from FL (who had an Allen West for congress tshirt, a couple from PA and Coretta).

I also met a group of Russians. We were told that your rally should start soon and to just stay there. It was already after 3. We turned around and found you.

At your rally there were plenty of pro mosque agitators. They were arguing and screaming. One had to be dragged away. it was difficult to hear the speakers. I always arrive early and like to listen to what is being said. I was dressed in my army medical corps gear as I work on a base once a month. That uniform did not garner any respect from the other side. But plenty from the great Americans at your rally NY1 claims the pro-mosque rally had 1500. Yours had 2000. Maybe they should go back to school and learn math.

UPDATE: Comment section remark on the "dueling rallies" fiction:

The NY Post article claims pro-mosque protesters numbered 3000, Anti-mosque protesters 500, but in the NYPost video covering the event the reporter states that anti-mosque protesters vastly outnumbered mosque supporters. Let's call it "Dueling  NY Post Mosque Reportage".

Pam, I remember you and Robert standing on the corner of that park across from Ground Zero at about 11:30 am before the start of the June rally, wondering if a few hundred people would show up and be enough to fill that pen the NYPD had set up for us.

AND LOOK WHAT HAPPENED!

We overflowed the pen and then the park and then the street. And in September we came back and overflowed 3 blocks, and the MSlimeM can try to ignore it or deny it or decry it all they want but WE WON. Thanks to you and Robert and FAFDI/SIOA we won, and we will do it again next year. (At the rate things are going we may have to do it in front of the old St. Vincent's building up on 7th Ave., mmmmwhhhaaaaaaaahhhhhh...! So much for the "Ground Zero Rabat".)

[lou]

Pam the link under "full article" goes to a dead page: 404 page not found etc. on the NY Times site.

[Patti]

Since April of this year, I have linked more that two hundred thousand people to articles on Atlas's coverage of the mosque on a daily basis,, I sent the rally photos out to those same people who shared them as well.

[Zilla]

The link to the NY Post article leads to an error message saying it doesn't exist And when I used google to find the article, links shown in the SEARCH also come up dead! Has the NY Post cowardly scrubbed the story already? Or maybe we crashed the servers?

[Zilla]

Weasel Zippers has the Rasmussen story that should be at the now non-existent Post link. Even the NY Post's OWN search feature comes up with the same dead link to the story!
Here's Weasel Zippers' coverage:

Outstanding, Pamela. No WONDER the Kos Kidz' eyes are bleeding.

[When*Pigs*Fly]

Congratulations and enjoy the celebrations but remember the fight has just begun, there's a long way to go yet.

[AuntieMadder]

Kids always act up when they realize someone else is getting some of their attention. They should be sent to the corner for a time out and to think about how they should be polite and allow the adults to speak among each other and not interrupt them.

[AuntieMadder]

I can't say with even slight honesty that I linked that story to 200,000 people, not even using Ohblowme jobs created math. But I did my best to help make sure more Texans learned of it because the local news stations, from what I was told, hadn't been reporting on it. On the night of Sept 11, I tuned in to find out if they'd report on the rally. They made brief mention of it and focused, instead, on the Imams' pro-mosque candlelight vigil/rally thing (of the night before, Sept 10, maybe?). Anyway, my friends and family were better informed of the situation and the rally because I'd "hooked them up" with Atlas Shrugs' reports on it. And I shared links in discussion threads at other blog sites, but who knows how many or if any bothered to click on them. We can lead a horse to a blog site but we can't make him read.

[Brandy]

What a beautiful day it was. Bright, sunny, warm. Same as it was on 9/11/01 only this day didn't end in tragedy but was a huge wake up call to those who thought they could kill thousands and then build on the ashes of those who died a terrible death there.

People from all parts of this country made it to the rallies. They probably canceled vacation plans to be there, spent money they didn't have or sacrificed in some way to have their voices heard.

Isn't it the oddest thing that the media treat Rauf as some sort of celebrity? Has anyone in the media asked him about his ties to the Flotilla or about he and Al-Gamal's finances? How about his apartments and the way he treats his tenants? Anyone? Nah...

When Pigs Fly, yes there is a long way to go and as Pamela always says, "America. Fight for her!" That puts it all in perspective.

And thanks Pamela for the mention about the photos. It was my pleasure.

[Steve]

THANK YOU for posting this! I love your blog!!

Everytime I see a picture of the victory mosque it makes me so angry. Look at it...it's not just the falling pentagans, the falling crosses, and the falling Star of David....it's also that it looks like the World Trade Center buildings AND they have designed it so there is a dark area in two places...in the exact spots where the planes hit....muslims are sure an evil lot.

[dcat]

HOO RAH Pamela!

[Chervil]

Happy New Year Pamela, Robert et al. NY Post article has been hidden it seems. Wonder why that could be? Perhaps someone 'higher' up (lower down?) has been yelping about it.

[a]

did you see rauf on 60 minutes? cold blooded eyes. and he said he wanted to be the first to die if there's another 9-11. a shahid desire! and gamal...the way he said his faith is not responsible for 9-11. oh really? then why the hell were they hollering alla fubar?

these two are slimeballs. rauf has the nerve to tell 9-11 families that he knows what's best for america?
sounds like that islamic supremacist creeping in. and i mean creeping, like vermin.

these mofos don't give a rats ass about america. they only want to jihad and make america islamic. too bad they didn't show or let pamela talk about that.

pamela is right: if they really cared about tolerance and brotherhood they'd move the damn mosque. no respect for the fact that the landing gear are in the building...or that vaporized remains are all over that area.

it's disgusting how these gutterslime try to paint themselves. you can use all kinds of paint..but the stench is loud and clear. HELL NO MOSQUE AT GROUND ZERO!!!!!

[a]

yep, the design speaks volumes of their evil intent.
just can't hide the slime

[tommy mc donnell]

the muslim colonists are at war with the american people. unfortunately it seems so are the american politicans.

[Mathews]

Truth will prevail and triumphal at the end.

[Grimcargo]

For sure the NYT are cowards but there might be something else at play here and it starts with a G.
Pamela you sure have showed up the sneaky snakes interweaved in the mosque chaos. All you have to do is listen to these lying snakes to see their hearts. You have made a difference. You are a Patriot and God bless you and keep you. (when I hear that call to prayer all it reminds me of is pure evil and it surely is.)

[Brandy]

The NY Post has an article about hate crimes. Seems the most targeted is Musl...no, no, no, Jews. Let's see how much play that will get in the MSM. If it were Muslims it would be front and center of every newspaper.
