Geller: The Country that Gave the World the Magna Carta is Dead

Pamela Geller on Trump Visit to the U.K.

Geller faced a similar prohibition, and for much the same reason. It seems that any criticism of Islam, or support for Israel, is cause for sanctions and denunciation and must be silenced.

The British government banned me [Geller] from entering the country for standing up against jihad terror. To ban Trump for calling for a temporary moratorium on Muslim immigration would just be more of the same. The British government, egged on by the left, seems determined to silence any and every voice against jihad terror and Islamization. The consequences for Britain will be catastrophic.

According to documents released in our lawsuit against the British government under the Duty of Candor, my support for Israel was also cited as grounds for the ban. An official in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office wrote that the dossier that the government had assembled as the case for banning me was “particularly citing pro-Israeli views.” If supporting Israel can get you banned from Britain, opposing the unrestricted entry of Muslims (including jihad terrorists) into the U.S. certainly can.

By the time my ban was officially announced, however, the Home Office had scrubbed the material about it being because I was pro-Israel. The British government explicitly stated that I was banned because my presence was “not conducive to the public good” and that I represented a “threat to security of our society.” What were the criteria? CNN “journalist” Mona Eltahawy was soon afterward scheduled to speak in the UK at a women’s conference sponsored by two sharia-compliant media orgs, Reuters and the New York Times. Yet Mona Eltahawy was arrested after attacking a complete stranger in the New York subway and defacing our American Freedom Defense Initiative pro-Israel ad. Is that acceptable behavior and conducive to the public good? The British government apparently thinks so. They also let a notorious Muslim Brotherhood leader take refuge in London, and readily admit preachers of jihad terror.

The Home Office also cited security concerns – that is, if I were admitted, Muslims might riot, and rather than keep the Muslims rioting, they banned me. As Laura Rosen Cohen says, “security concerns” are the new “shut up.” My real crime was my principled dedication to freedom. I am a human rights activist dedicated to freedom of speech, freedom of conscience and individual rights for all before the law. I fiercely oppose violence and the persecution and oppression of minorities under supremacist law. I deplore violence and work for the preservation of freedom of speech to avoid violent conflict. I have never been convicted of any crime. I have never been arrested. I became a writer and activist in the wake of 9/11. For this, I am banned from Britain. I shed no tears. I am banned from Mecca, too.

The boot-licking that is going on by Western nations towards Islam is beyond shocking, and it cannot be justified. The vast majority of terrorist acts in the world today are committed by organizations that cite the Qu’ran as their authority and Islam as their foundation.

The West must finally understand that it is at war with factions that seek our domination or destruction, and the well-spring is the Qu’ran and the religion that pursues worldwide domination. Why, then, are political leaders seeking to silence those who object to this attack, and inviting its adherents into our countries?

We are at war.

The tenets espoused by Islam are completely at odds with our Constitution and the British Magna Carta.

It we do not recognize that reality, we are doomed from the outset.
