Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller, arguably the two most visible spokespeople of the anti-Muslim group "Stop Islamization of America," are both very vocal supporters of the British organization called the English Defense League -- an offshoot of the neo-Nazi British National Party, composed in large part of skinheads, white supremacists, ...

The developer behind the Park51 project launched a fundraising effort today, and announced that they will not accept money from Iran, Hamas, or any "organizations that have un-American values."

LGF reader Winny Spencer pointed out this campaign advertisement for far right Swedish party Sverigedemokraterna (Sweden Democrats), an organization with neo-Nazi roots.

I missed this segment of Rachel Maddow's show a couple of days ago, but it's worth watching because she digs (a little more than most mainstream news shows) into the people and organizations driving the recent outbreak of anti-Muslim hysteria. Video

One of the speakers at Glenn Beck's rally this weekend is hackneyed macho rock star Ted Nugent, who told Seattle radio host Dori Monson recently that Barack Obama is a seekrit Moslem jihad agent who somehow managed to sneak into the White House and is now going to destroy America ...

I'm sure this has absolutely nothing to do with the non-stop anti-Muslim hate speech pouring out of Fox News, right wing websites, talk radio and shrieking harpy Pamela Geller: Drunken man urinates on mosque floor. A drunk barged into a Queens mosque last night and shouted anti-Muslim slurs as he ...

Michael Enright, the 21-year old accused of stabbing a Muslim cabdriver in a hate crime, kept a journal filled with anti-Muslim writings: Muslim cab driver Ahmed Sharif, victim in bloody attack, saw 'so much hate' in face of assailant.

The following incoherent (possibly drunken) rant is copied and pasted directly from Pamela Geller's website: Set Up to Lynch Ground Zero Opposition: Muslim Cab Slasher Worked for Cordoba/Park 51 - Atlas Shrugs. How deranged is the left? The slasher of Muslims works for the Cordoba/Park 51. This is what is ...

Big LGF kudos to New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. He sounds like a real leader in this speech to New York's annual Ramadan dinner at Gracie Mansion: Bloomberg Launches Another Impassioned Defense Of Cordoba House. If we say that a mosque and community center should not be built near the ...

Hate monger and anti-mosque queen bee Pamela Geller often promotes an extreme right wing British group called the English Defense League (an offshoot of the neo-Nazi British National Party), praising them as "peaceful patriots" trying to peacefully defend their peaceful culture from the invasion of the Moslem horde. When the EDL ...

There's quite a bit of talk lately about the fact that Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal is a major shareholder in Fox News, and a business partner of Rupert Murdoch. Some have questioned whether it really matters, though, if the Prince hasn't tried to influence Fox's news coverage. Well, in 2005, ...

At the New Republic, Todd Gitlin reviews The Subversive Theology Of Imam Rauf. No wonder the Bush State Department made similar use of him to win hearts and minds. He’s promoting the American social and political system. He believes that “democracy and liberty, in a peculiarly American way, provide a ...

Here are some very interesting comments from Reza Aslan on NPR's "All Things Considered." Reza has correctly identified one of the key points about the forces behind the recent rise of anti-Muslim sentiment: the fact that Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer's "Stop Islamization of America" is a US franchise of ...

On the fourth day after Newt Gingrich bailed out and said he never agreed to attend, Pamela Geller's American branch of the European "Stop Islamization" hate franchise is still falsely advertising Gingrich as a speaker at her anti-Muslim rally on September 11: Stop Islamization of America. When will they stop using ...

The Washington Post has an article today on the outbreak of paranoia and anti-Muslim bad craziness on the hallowed ground of Murfreesboro, Tennessee: Far from Ground Zero, other plans for mosques run into vehement opposition. In Tennessee, three plans for new Islamic centers in the Nashville area -- one of ...

Wow. This is where we're going, folks. Pamela Geller should be proud of her work. [Video] A man walks through the crowd at the Ground Zero protest and is mistaken as a Muslim. The crowd turns on him and confronts him. The man in the blue hard hat calls him a ...

At the New York Times, Anne Barnard has an excellent profile of the man who's been relentlessly, dishonestly demonized by Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer, and the Fox News Bigot Brigade: Feisal Abdul Rauf’s Balancing Act in Mosque Furor. Not everyone in the Cairo lecture hall last February was buying the ...

Pamela Geller's American branch of the European "Stop Islamization" hate franchise is still falsely advertising Newt Gingrich as a speaker at her anti-Muslim rally on September 11: Stop Islamization of America. Three days and counting since Gingrich bailed out of Geller's prejudice party. When will they stop using Gingrich's name without ...

Since Newt Gingrich announced very clearly yesterday that he isn't going to be a guest of honor at the Bigot Brigade's anti-Muslim rally on September 11, either in person or on video, shouldn't Pamela Geller remove his name from the promotional articles still posted prominently on the SIOA front page? ...

Fundamentalist wacko Franklin Graham says President Obama is infected with the seed of Islam. "I think the president's problem is that he was born a Muslim, his father was a Muslim. The seed of Islam is passed through the father like the seed of Judaism is passed through the mother. ...

One of the most visible right wing politicians in the parade of bigotry surrounding the Cordoba House project is perennial opportunist Newt Gingrich. He's compared the developers to Nazis, and spouts rhetoric virtually indistinguishable from the anti-Muslim rants of deranged lunatic Pamela Geller. Correction: now he spouts that kind of sick ...
