Hutton Hotel Cancels Preserving Freedom Conference in Nashville, Caves to Islamic Supremacist Demands UPDATED: SCROLL!

Egypt, Libya, Tunisia now ...... Nashville. 

The Hutton Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee is now sharia-compliant.

Steve Eckley, Senior Vice-President of Hutton Hotel, has caved to Islamic supremacist demands and cancelled our entire Preserving Freedom Conference scheduled for November 11th in Nashville. Eckley notified us that they will not honor our contract. Steve said that if we showed up we would not be let in. He said he has been getting threatening letters and calls. We are currently awaiting the written notification of the cancellation.

Steve Eckley's phone number is 720 318 4238. He said he would not let us in the hotel if we showed up.  He was so ugly and hostile, it was shocking.

I was a scheduled keynote speaker, along with Robert Spencer, Wafa Sultan, Mark Durie, William Murray, Father Keith Roderick, and a host of voices for freedom.

This is the second time in no less than a week that a major hotel has capitulated to intimidation and demands to enforce the blasphemy laws under the sharia here in America. Opposing the most radical and extreme ideology on the face of the earth is now forbidden in the war of ideas.

Just last week the Hyatt Place in Sugarland canceled a tea party event where I was scheduled to speak. They have since apologized, but that is hardly enough. Free speech, the cornerstone of our constitutional republic, is in serious jeopardy. Under the Shariah, criticism of Islam is blasphemy (punishable by death in Muslim countries living under the Shariah). This is the death of free speech in the continuing Islamization of America. This is yet another shattering demonstration of why I wrote my book Stop the Islamization of America: A Practical Guide to the Resistance.

The silencing of free speech is key to the islamization of America.

Americans must boycott these cowardly enterprises and raise their voices in protest.

Nashville is a gateway city for refugee resettlement -- whole Muslim communities are resettled in "gateway" cities like Lewiston, Maine; Shelbyville, Tennessee; St. Cloud, Minnesota; Clarkston, Georgia; and Jamestown, North Dakota. Nashville has one of the country's highest Muslim populations.

I strongly urge all Atlas readers contact the Hutton Hotel and voice your concern with the abridgment of our cherished and hard-fought freedoms. This continuing restriction of free speech is a key front in the war on the truth. Your future, your children's future and that of our country is at stake. I cannot impress this upon you enough.

Get this out to your lists, your friends, and all the freedom lovers that you know.

This cannot stand. Start calling. Now.

UPDATE: The cretins at Hutton Hotel are referring callers to their PR firm. Don't accept that. Politely insist upon speaking with hotel senior management. The attempt to blow you off to their spinmeisters at their highly paid PR firm is not going to cut it.

Check this out -- here's the latest info from Steve Gill:

Mr. Eckley told me that they cancelled the event because of "risk to their property and staff" and numerous threatening calls they received. I asked him where the threats were coming from and he refused to answer that. He indicated he did not contact the FBI or Homeland Security or local police, because he cancelled the event and there was no need to do so. I asked him if the hotel gets a bomb threat over a particular event to they simply cancel the event and fail to contact police in that case, too? He then hung up stating I was "so right wing" he didn't want to talk any longer. The hotel has referred any contacts to their pr agency.

UPDATE:  Amerimar Enterprises owns the Hutton Hotel along with 15 other properties.
Senior Management. Philadelphia-based Amerimar is a veteran real-estate operator with 14 hotels that include a Westin, Sheraton and a Marriott.

I just called the hotel and was transferred to the manager. I asked the manager if it was true that Hutton Hotel had canceled the Preserving Freedom Conference. He would not answer the question but, rather, referred me to an email address of the "corporate office." Before the call ended, I told the manager that a cancellation of this conference represented an assault on constitutionally-protected free speech and, as a result, I would never do business with them.

Email address = michael@mfcpr.com

Pamela,

I'm sorry to hear that you will have to reschedule your Two Minutes Hate. I guess Nashville isn't quite far enough south.

[Jamadagnii]

Apparently the Hutton Hotel is a tony property belonging to Amerimar Enterprises, http://www.amerimar.com/overview.php while mfcpr is their pr company.

If this cancellation was made on the corporate level I don't think that the PR firm should have the final authority, as if this is simply a public relations issue. Steve Eckley works for Amerimar as Senior VP of Hotels, so I'm contacting Amerimar corporate: Gerald Marshall, President & CEO along with Mr. Eckley. amerimar-webmaster@amerimar.com

In any case, I don't think the hotel manager should be making decisions involving the abridgment of freedom of speech.

[Barbara Wall]

As you requested....I sent an email to support your outrage.

[Tom Billesley]

Hutton Hotel or Amerimar should make public these threatening letters.

[Mackie]

Steve Eckley claims to have received threatening letters and calls. If that is the case, the letters and calls (if recorded) should be turned over to the authorities immediately.

I can only speak for California law but any threat sent through the mail or through an electronic device is defined as a felony. Here is that law as written in Calif. under penal code 422 below:

http://codes.lp.findlaw.com/cacode/PEN/3/1/11.5/s422

[scrubjay]

There are two issues:
1) breach of contract
2)the threatening letters and calls.

Mark Levin has referred to "tortious interference" when anyone threatens him. You could begin a legal action and get discovery. Ask him what to do.

from Wikipedia:
"Tortious interference, also known as intentional interference with contractual relations, in the common law of tort, occurs when a person intentionally damages the plaintiff's contractual or other business relationships. This tort is broadly divided into two categories, one specific to contractual relationships (irrespective of whether they involve business), and the other specific to business relationships or activities (irrespective of whether they involve a contract)."

Re: BREAKING: HUTTON HOTEL CANCELS PRESERVING FREEDOM CONFERENCE IN NASHVILLE, CAVES TO ISLAMIC SUPREMACIST DEMANDS

It has to be kept in mind that "ideas and opinions" (what is typically defined as "free (political) speech") is being defined by some Muslims and others as "hate." Criticism of Islam is defined by a few self-centered power-seekers who pretend they represent a disinterested principal as "hate." They actually represent their own power interests using Islam to rationalize that.

Muslims who would silence free political speech must surely have contempt for the fools at the Hyatt who do not understand what the 1st Amendment is about. There is no incitement here(calls for violence etc.)-but what does that matter at the Orwellian-Hyatt, ruled and intimidated by the "thought police"?

The more things change, the more they remain the same?....

D. Sanchez: There is a critical need for morons such as yourself to go get their sorry asses shot off in Muslim hellholes from Tunisia to Syria. I suggest you take your enthusiasm for the Religion of Peace Through Submission to where it will do the most good by ridding the US of your presence. Sorry if that sounds harsh.

Eckley exposed his hand with the "so right wing" crack. He is not a victim of threats or intimidation by Islamic thugs. He is a beta dog rolling over and showing his naked belly to the Muslim alphas. He wags his tail at them and snarls at us. He deserves to be swatted on the nose with a rolled-up newspaper. No, that is not a threat. I do not, thank the gods, live anywhere near Nashville.

Of course Hutton Hotels/Amerimar should make public the threatening messages that led to their cancelling this event. They will not because they figure that will buy them more trouble from their muslim masters. They should not only be raked over the coals via email and phone but vigorously picketed and protested in whatever ways will call the most public attention to their cowardice and dhimmitude.

I'm scheduled to attend a 2-day training next weekend for citizens on how to oppose the encroachment of sharia law. It is being held at a Hilton. I hold my breath every morning when I open my email, hoping not to see a cancellation notice. The most alarming facet of this is that it is playing into the hands of the muslim-loving fascists Obama and Holder in their efforts to impose censorship via re-defining opposition to Islam as "racism" and prohibiting it under "hate" laws. Continuing to resist under those conditions would be a whole other sort of scenario.

OT: New TLC Muslim Pity Party Whitewash Show.

I saw the commercial for the first time today on Investigation Discovery. The link to the synopsis video is here:

http://tlc.discovery.com/videos/all-american-muslim-welcome-to-dearborn.html

Basically it looks like another one of those shows trying to highlight how hard it is to be muslim in America. The commercial showed flashes of "Muslim Go Home" spray painted on a house, and a story of some muslima getting uppity with someone on a plane because she was on her way to a meeting to "educate people like her."
I haven't seen it posted anywhere else, so I thought you might want to check it out.

From the Associated Press:

"NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A Nashville hotel has canceled a conference by the Sharia Awareness Action Network, saying it was concerned the speakers include "extremists" with a history of contentious events.

The "Preserving Freedom Conference" had been scheduled for Nov. 11 at the Hutton Hotel near downtown. The hotel in a statement Monday said it has to be "mindful of the safety, security and peace of mind of its guests."

The hotel cited reports by the Anti-Defamation League and Southern Poverty Law Center about speakers Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer of the group Stop Islamization of America, adding that they have "a history of controversy and contention surrounding their appearances."

A post on Geller's website said the hotel had "caved to Islamic supremacist demands" and urged supporters to call the hotel's management to complain."

Hutton Hotel is playing the game of appeasement,and look what appeasement did in 1939,it started WWII,So I would like to point out to any of their terrified management who may be watching these columns,that Appeasement is like a man feeding a voracious Crocodile in the vain hope that it will eat him last of all.
Not to reveal the threats Publically is to condone Islamic bullying and interference,their attitude is unconstitutional and un-American,their appeasement will gain them nothing,giving in to Islam means that they are OWNED by Islam !

[Shlomo's Gonna Rock!]

I emailed the Hutton and expressed my complete outrage that Julie Mcoy's little buddy "Fred" couldn't speak. I'm very keen on 70's nostalgia. Then I told them I would book all my meetings there...every year, for the next 10 years.

Pam..., normal people, we're just not that in to you. And, to your fans...I'm pretty sure Mossad is busy, so save your fantasies. Plus, I'm one of the 1%...we can pull a lot of strings. :-)

[Victor Bagnato]

I made the calls to both numbers expressing my dismay at the loss of freedom and saddened by the caving in to intimidation. I also mentioned the discriminatory practice by Mr Eckley of saying he would bar the entrance of people. This is blatant discrimination...Being rejected for your beliefs. which are not racist but defending the very thing they just did.. Gave into intimidation at the loss of free speech. I believe the hotel should be sued for discrimination. This is the only language these people understand anymore/

[Victor Bagnato]

Whats amazing is the leftist spineless intellects think appeasing this religion is they way to normalization and being accepted by them..fools, the only thing they are interested in is total global domination and everyone in reach submitting to their god allah.

[sheik yer'mami]

"The hotel cited reports by the Anti-Defamation League and Southern Poverty Law Center "-

There you go. The usual suspects, Soros funded. They don't even need CAIR anymore....

[herdzcatz]

Wow, Shlomo, you're definitely into yourself and all your nostalgic 1% normalcy. Ain't gonna be no mo loveboat OR your precious 70's "western infidel behavior" on the tube pretty soon if Pamela and those like her are silenced, and that's the truth!

[TellyStern]

D. Sanchez, dude, you so obviously did not read 1984 or you would have made that ridiculous comparison.

Not to mention the obvious, it's the left-islamo alliance that uses newspeak, attempts to enforce thought crimes, etc. Is there any significant right-wing group doing that sort of thing (besides the Islamos who are as far right as it gets but lefties are fools so what difference does it make)?

Go back to your bong, dude.

[TellyStern]

typo: should be "or you would not have made that ridiculous comparison. I must have gotten a cyber contact buzz from D. Sanchez. He is that stoned.

[Betty]

who are you gonna call when all hell breaks loose? Pam and Robert and others like them. but it will be to late then. God gave you people to teach you about this cult and you don't want to hear it. you will before it is over. and that is a promise. but it will be to late for you and your family's. WAKE UP people. CULT, CULT, CULT GET IT

[cooldude9366]

Hey Shlomo. Name and address please. The 99%ers will be on your doorstep this afternoon. Oh wait....you're a useful idiot. Never mind.

[deathtononbelievers]

this hotel is afraid, not only of the islamist terrorism, but also of our federal govt who controls the irs. they are frightened of a visit from the tax man, where the US constitution does not exist. the irs says you are guilty, you are guilty, penalties and interest on your arrears begin immeadiately. standing up to these terrorist can result in the demise, throught the tax man, of your corporation. the power to tax, is the power to destroy.
dont ever give up, the entrenched elite, along with these islamist terrorist will not be defeated overnight. we must never give up the fight to reclaim our country and constitution. keep telling the truth.

His email address is gmarshall@amerimar.com.
He's a University of Texas grad so I told him that I was ashamed that a fellow UT alumni would have capitulated to Islam and hoped that he was proud his hotels were now Sharia compliant.

[Sovereign4Ever]

I sent an email moments ago & said the following:

SHAME ON YOU!!! What part of Islam, the Quran, the Haddith, taqiyya, & SHARIA LAW do you not understand??? When Sharia Law TRUMPS Constitutional Law & the USA falls to Islam, it'll be dhimmis LIKE YOU! that'll be to blame!!! Thomas Jefferson understood the threat...why don't YOU??? DO YOUR HOMEWORK & WAKE UP b4 it's too late!!!

[BM]

So this is what it's like on the fringe, where logic ceases to exist and simplistic, unsubstantiated claims about complex issues are taken as truth. What a bunch of fucking idiots you all are.

[Hannah Szenes]

Emailed this -

Re: your cancellation of the Preserving Freedom Conference - Bow down and lick the boots of your new masters! In your cancellation, you yield to the enemies of your country! Pay the jizya with willing submission and feel yourselves subdued. I, for one, will NEVER, EVER stay at any of the hotels that your company owns!!

[Peyton Wood]

Sent the following email myself -

Steve,

What types of "...threatening letters and calls" are you receiving that would cause you to pull a legally binding contract to use your facilities for the Preserving Freedom Conference you had booked at your hotel for November 11, 2011? What are you afraid of?

Is this not America, where the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees the Right to Freedom of Speech? Are you and your corporation allowing those who threaten you, if you allow this conference to take place as contracted, to dictate what is and what isn't FREEDOM OF SPEECH? Are you saying, by negating a legally binding contract and telling those who would show up for the conference, that one faction who's voice is currently louder than those of the PFC organizers has more a a right to be offended than the PFC attendees do to exercise their First Amendment right?

Steve, while I'm not a constituional scholar, like the idiot who currently usurps the Peoples' House in Washington D.C. claims to be, I do know for a fact that of the two groups you have involved in this situation, only one, those who would attend the Preserving Freedom Conference, has a constitutionally protected right, and that is the right to FREEDOM OF SPEECH. Again, Steve, this right is guaranteed by the First Amendment to the United States Constiution, which was signed off on by the State of Tennessee, when it was ratified. Those who oppose this organization, what they stand for and the speech they so freely exercise DO NOT HAVE A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT NOT TO BE OFFENDED!

You and your corporation sicken me, trying to be politically correct! Well, allow me to tell you something Mr. PC, I will never set foot in any property owned by your corporation, nor will I do any business with any parent company until you and your's recognize the rights of free Americans and stop molly-coddling those who don't have rights to object.

I would be more than appreciative to have get a personal response from you, your corporate lawyers or anyone else who has the balls, and intellect, to argue the constitutionality, and not just the dollars and cents, of your short-sighted decision. Care to respond?

I have contacted the Hutton Hotel and told them that thay will be my first choice of accomodations the next time I'm in Nashville.

They are a private enterprise, not a public space, and they have the right to deny the use of their premises to any group as they see fit. Hell, if they turned away an Islamic group, you'd be cheering for them and supporting their rights. And they are under no obligation to respond to the harrassment of your minions. You appear to have a very basic misunderstanding of your First Amendment Rights, I suggest you remedy that.

[J Willman]

None of this surprises me in the least. The rights of free born American's are trampled daily these days, all in the name of political correctness. I'd like to know just who determines what's correct? I will say this and it's meant just the way it sounds...When anyone, ANYONE threatens me and mine with a muslim ideaology,or treads on my rights as an American, well be prepared for what's going to come and may your "God" be with you and good luck with all those virgins brother because you'll be meeting him soon. If these idiots keep judging true Americans by the foolish polititions they see on T.V. then they're in for a rude awakening...people will die when they try to dismantle this country from within or from outside! WE THE PEOPLE will see to it, to hell with those that don't like this country...just LEAVE or be removed! God bless America!

[David N Jones]

When we get Sharia Law, I hope it is modified from the law in Saudi Arabia. For example I hope that we at least let women drive to pick up the kids and be good soccer moms.

[AH]

"Freedom of speech means freedom from interference, suppression or punitive action by the government—and nothing else. A 'right' does not include the material implementation of that right by other men; it includes only the freedom to earn that implementation by one’s own effort. Private citizens cannot use physical force or coercion; they cannot censor or suppress anyone’s views or publications. Only the government can do so. And censorship is a concept that pertains only to governmental action."

[Joy]

Dhimmi Fiona is another useful idiot, thinking our protesting the fascistic pisslam and its abhorrent Sharia law is a waste of time. The parallels to Nazi Germany in the 30s - with pisslam, the imams and the brain-dead followers of the death cult re-enacting the role of the brown shirts and the other apparchiks of that deadly time in Europe. Their pea-size brains simply cannot grasp what's coming. They are still dancing on the decks of the Titanic, and I don't want to be there when the good ship USS Titantic its that effin' iceberg!!

[Fiona Baxter]

Joy (how ironic), I have never bowed to sharia law or, for that matter, biblical law. I am subject to the United States of America and the US Constitution. There is no creep of islamic law in the US except where sharia is congruent with so-called christian views that are being forced on American citizens. Be afraid of extremists of all religions infringing on your rights. Islam is not the enemy, bigotry is.

[Trancoso]

Joy, lmove you're comment! We truly are on the titanic and have no idea what is coming ...
