人兽性交

The new book by America鈥檚 most prominent anti-Muslim agitator hasn鈥檛 even been released yet, but the distorted worldview it undoubtedly represents is already apparent.

From its very first sentence, the press release for 鈥檚 book, Stop the Islamization of America: A Practical Guide to the Resistance, smacks of the hyperbole and shrillness for which Geller is renowned as she valiantly repels a dastardly Muslim conspiracy to take over America 鈥� a plot that doesn鈥檛 exist and wouldn鈥檛 work if it did. 鈥淓very day in America, Islamic supremacists are growing more aggressive, demanding ever more accommodation of Islamic principles and practices that contradict American freedoms,鈥� the release, carried on PRNewswire, begins.

Are 鈥淚slamic supremacists鈥� really growing more aggressive? That depends on who falls under that term, and that鈥檚 never clear with Geller, who firmly believes that any devout, practicing Muslim is, by definition, radical. It鈥檚 true that Muslim extremists who sympathize with Al Qaeda-like ideology (the upcoming issue of the 人兽性交鈥檚 Intelligence Report will profile 10 of them) are ramping up their efforts to radicalize Muslims in the United States and recruit them to join jihad. But there is scant evidence the American Muslim community as a whole is becoming 鈥渕ore aggressive.鈥�

The second half of that opening sentence provides a clue to Geller鈥檚 mode of analysis. She and other typically regard any social gesture towards Muslims 鈥� such as providing airport footbaths for Muslim taxi drivers preparing for midday prayers 鈥� as part of the ominous forward 鈥渃reep鈥� of Islamic Shariah law that will eventually topple the Constitution and subjugate all non-Muslims.

Next comes the inevitable comparison of Islam to Nazism: 鈥淛ust as Patton needed a strategy to defeat Hitler, so now free citizens need a strategy to defend the rights and freedoms guaranteed to us by the U.S. Constitution but denied by Islamic law.鈥� Of course, nowhere in America is Islamic law contravening or even nudging the Constitution. American legal tradition allows U.S. courts to consider foreign, international or religious law to resolve certain disputes over contracts arranged outside U.S. legal jurisdiction 鈥� but basically, unless you signed a business deal in Riyadh or got married in Tehran, it鈥檚 highly unlikely you鈥檇 ever even hear the word Shariah in a U.S. courtroom.

The press release describes Geller as the 鈥渘ational leader of the fight against the Ground Zero-mega mosque and of numerous other initiatives to defend freedom against the encroachment of Islamic law.鈥�

The Park51 project in Manhattan, of course, is a perfectly legal effort to build a community center and house of worship. How can exercising one鈥檚 freedom be considered a threat to freedom? This depiction of Geller鈥檚 role in the controversy, incidentally, represents a subtle revision of history. She originally opposed the project as insensitive to the memory of 9/11 because of its proximity to the World Trade Center site, not because it represented some sort of encroachment on liberty. (Geller also adamantly of the Park51 opposition in an October 2010 New York Times interview. Now, evidently, it鈥檚 part of her r茅sum茅.)

The release declares that 鈥渢he mainstream media propaganda machine stigmatizes all resistance to Islamization as leading to violence.鈥� Could this be a reference to Anders Breivik, whose murderous attack in Norway on July 22 was driven by anti-Muslim paranoia fed by the writings of Geller and SIOA partner ? Geller thus dons the victim鈥檚 cloak: She and her allies aren鈥檛 ; they are heroic 鈥渃ounter-jihadists鈥� protecting the fair West from the dark, invading Muslim hordes.

The press release by Geller鈥檚 organization, Stop Islamization of America (SIOA), says Geller鈥檚 book will show how 鈥渢he Justice Department is fighting for Shariah in the U.S.鈥� (Why would it do that?); how 鈥減ublic officials 鈥� are kowtowing to Islamic supremacists' demands to curtail free speech about Islam鈥� (Why would officials allow that?); and how the Egypt-based Muslim Brotherhood has 鈥渋nfiltrated鈥� institutions like the Department of Justice, an operation apparently only Geller and her tight band of zealots know about.

The book is scheduled for release September 6. Can鈥檛 wait, can you?
