Her admirers say she is 'the Joan of Arc of the counter-jihad movement,' 'one of the top world experts in radical Islam, sharia, and Islamic supremacism,' and 'a wonderful fighter for liberty.'
Now, in Fatwa: Hunted in America, Pamela Geller tells her own story of how she became one of the world's foremost activists for the freedom of speech, individual rights, and equality of rights for all.
With the slicing wit and piercing insight that have characterized all her work, Pamela Geller here recounts her unlikely journey from New York City career girl to indomitably fearless human rights activist, reviled by the enemies of freedom the world over.
'I assumed my freedom,' she writes. 'Never for one moment did I think that it could be taken from me. But all that changed on one day.'
That day was September 11, 2001, when on a beautiful, bright blue sunny morning, the global jihad struck in America with terrifying and murderous force. The United States of America and the free world as a whole would never be the same again.
Neither would Pamela Geller. In this book, Geller tells the whole extraordinary story of how she began chronicling her take on news events at her groundbreaking website Atlas Shrugs, then moved into activism, at first on behalf of Muslim girls who were being brutalized and victimized at home for not following the misogynistic rules of Islamic law, and then to stand against the advance of jihad and sharia on numerous fronts -- above all for the freedom of speech, which is increasingly embattled in this age of jihad.
It's all here: Geller recounts the battle to defeat the sinister Ground Zero mosque project; the ISIS attack at Geller's Mohammed Art Exhibit and Cartoon Contest in Garland, Texas; the fatwa issued to her and plot to behead her; and much more including the relentless vilification from a mainstream media hell-bent on defaming and destroying everyone who stands for freedom against jihad terror and sharia oppression.
Pamela Geller writes: 'Any lover of freedom would have been tarred the same way I was, and many have been. I am but a proxy in this terrible, long war. What has happened to me is what happens, in small and large ways, to every American who stands for freedom.'
Yet, as shown in this book, she has prevailed. Without Pamela Geller, there would be a 16-story mega-mosque at Ground Zero today. Without Pamela Geller, untold numbers of young women who are living free today instead would have been victims of honor killings. Without Pamela Geller, countless numbers of indefatigable fighters for freedom would have been cowed and intimidated into silence by an increasingly violent and authoritarian left-wing agenda.
If this book is proof of anything, it's that one person can make a difference. And what a remarkable difference Pamela Geller has made. At last, in Fatwa: Hunted In America, she tells her story.

From the Author
Geller details that her book is about "what happens to someone who tries to stand in defense of freedom in 21st century America."
"This is the book of a New York City career girl who loved her music and her fashion, and she became the country's leading racist, Islamophobic, anti-Muslim bigot. Or as the uber-left hate machine, the Southern Poverty Law Center, likes to call me, 'the anti-Muslim movement's most visible and flamboyant figurehead," Geller said. "I am but a proxy in this war, what happens to me happens to every American, in small and large ways, who happens to stand in defense of freedom."
In FATWA: Hunted in America, Geller recounts the battle to defeat the sinister Ground Zero mosque project; the ISIS attack at Geller's Mohammed Art Exhibit and Cartoon Contest in Garland, Texas; the fatwa issued to her and plot to behead her; and much more including the relentless vilification from a mainstream media hell-bent on defaming and destroying everyone who stands for freedom against jihad terror and sharia oppression.
"It's my story, but it's every story," Geller concludes. "Any lover of freedom would have been tarred the same way I was, and many have been. I am but a proxy in this terrible long war: what has happened to me is what happens, in small and large ways, to every American who stands for freedom."
Yet - as shown in this book - she has prevailed. Without Pamela Geller, there would be a 16-story mega-mosque at Ground Zero today.

From the Back Cover
"When Pamela Geller talks about Islam, she does it with both barrels. For sparing us the platitudes when confronting this direct and present danger, she is reviled by society's bien pensant. In this book, she recounts her adventures in "hate speech," or as we used to call it, "telling the truth." It is both an enlightening and gripping tale."
-- Ann Coulter, Bestselling Author
"This is a riveting tale of a "controversial" woman. She believes in "controversial" principles such as free speech, and holds "controversial" positions such as the right of Muslim girls in the developed world to enjoy the freedoms of all other western women without being honor-killed, beheaded or otherwise murdered. She is so "controversial" that, when Islamic fanatics tried to kill her in the first ISIS attack on American soil, this country's appalling and stupid media blamed her for being so "controversial" as to drive people to open fire on her. In a saner, healthier world, she would not be "controversial" at all, but would be recognized as the brave - indeed, fearless - woman she is. This is her story, and splendidly told."
-- Mark Steyn, Bestselling Author
"Over the years, many have made their disagreement with Pamela Geller clear. Islamists fear her; adherents of identity politics loathe her. Threatened with death by ISIS, denounced as a "hater" and "Islamophobic" by others, she is fearless. Even her detractors must concede that Pamela Geller has grit, is passionate and determined. She is a formidable adversary of all those seeking to further the cause of Shariah.
In her book Fatwa, Pamela Geller discusses her upbringing, her family, the ideals that drive her, and chronicles her numerous battles with Shariah law and its defenders. Read this book to see an advocate of freedom in action, defending the right to dissent from orthodoxy, as well as the principles that are at stake in defending the free society."
--Ayaan Hirsi Ali
"How did a nice Jewish girl from Long Island become the Joan of Arc of the counterjihad movement? In this remarkably absorbing page-turner of a book, Pamela Geller tells her story - a story of courage in the face not only of the jihadist enemy but of a veritable army of apologists, appeasers, pacifists, whitewashers, self-styled "bridge-builders," and assorted cowards, careerists, and sellouts. Armed only with the truth and a passionate love of American liberty, Geller has survived their smears and kept hope alive. It's an inspiring story that I hope will encourage other freedom-lovers to stand up and be counted before it's too late."
--- Bruce Bawer, author of The Victims' Revolution: The Rise of Identity Studies and the Closing of the Liberal Mind.
A courageous book by a courageous woman. This is not just one individual's adventures in defense of freedom - this is a guide for anyone and everyone who is ready to stand for the truth in these days of universal lies. Political correctness is intellectual dishonesty and Pamela Geller isn't afraid to tell it like it is.
---Tomi Lahren, Fox News Contributor and television host
"Pamela Geller's fascinating book is the vivid chronicle of a courageous woman who fought vigilantly and with fierceness, confronting dangers, threats and vile defamation, to preserve the American soul of freedom and democratic liberties. A most actual record of our perilous time."
---- Bat Ye'or, Historian, author of Eurabia: The Euro-Arab Axis, and of Europe, Globalization and the Coming Universal Caliphate
"Pamela Geller is a towering hero of freedom. If free people survive into the next generation, which is by no means assured, Pamela Geller will be celebrated as one of those who stood against the tide of Leftism and Islamic supremacism when it was at its apogee. No proper history of the freedom of the human spirit in our darkening age can be written without including her."
-- Robert Spencer, director of Jihad Watch and author of the New York Times bestsellers The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades) and The Truth About Muhammad."
"Free-speech advocates who don't make waves are not doing their jobs. Pamela Geller writes a guidebook here for Paladins of the First Amendment."
---Ambassador John Bolton

About the author

Pamela Geller is the founder, editor and publisher of The Geller Report and President of the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI) and Stop Islamization of America (SIOA). She is the author of Fatwa: Hunted in America (foreword by Geert Wilders) (Dangerous Books), The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration's War on America (foreword by Ambassador John Bolton) (Simon & Schuster) and Stop the Islamization of America: A Practical Guide to the Resistance (WND Books). She is also a regular columnist for numerous publications.
Geller's activism on behalf of human rights has won international notice. She is a foremost defender of the freedom of speech against attempts to force the West to accept Sharia blasphemy laws, and against Sharia self-censorship by Western media outlets. Her First Amendment lawsuits filed nationwide have rolled back attempts to limit Americans' free speech rights and limit speech to only one political perspective, and exposed attempts to make an end-run around the First Amendment by illegitimately restricting access to public fora. Her free speech event in Garland, Texas led to the capture or killing of several murderous jihadists, smoking out terror cells, leading to an increase in the threat level to BRAVO and to the consequent arrests of jihadists in several states.
Pamela Geller has been the subject of a profile on 60 Minutes, and of cover stories in the Sunday New York Times Metro section and the UK's Independent. The Times also published an in-depth interview with her. She has made appearances on NBC Nightly News, ABC, CNN, AP, Reuters, the Sean Hannity Show, the Bill O’Reilly Show, Red Eye, Geraldo, the Mike Huckabee show, and other shows on the Fox News channel. She has been featured in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, the Village Voice, the Daily Mail and the Telegraph.
Geller’s articles and op-eds have been published in Time Magazine, the Guardian, Commentary Magazine, Fox News, The Washington Times, Breitbart News, The Hill, Human Events, The American Thinker, Newsmax, Pajamas Media, Israel National News, World Net Daily, FrontPage magazine, New Media Journal, and Canada Free Press, among other publications.
Geller has also led awareness campaigns in U.S., Europe, and Israel on behalf of the victims and potential victims of honor killing, for the human rights of apostates from Islam, for the freedom of speech, and more. She has placed ads nationwide on buses, taxicabs, billboards, and in subway stations, calling attention to the plight of victims of Sharia and countering the deceptive and misleading ad campaigns of the Hamas-tied Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and other Islamic supremacist groups.
In May 2013, she was awarded the Guardian of Freedom award by the Nassau County Federation of Republican Women. The Queens Village Republican Club, the oldest Republican club in America, honored Pamela Geller as the “American Patriot of the Year” in February 2013. That same month, the Creative Zionist Coalition gave her the Queen Esther Award for Jewish Heroism. Pamela Geller also received the Annie Taylor Award for Courage in 2010 from the David Horowitz Freedom Center. In October 2011, the United States Marine Corps presented her with the flag flown on September 11, 2011 over Camp Leatherneck, "amid the battlefields of Afghanistan during decisive operations against enemy forces in Helmand Province."
Geller is a frequent guest on talk radio and has regular segments on two radio shows, The Jaz McKay Show and Jamie Allman In the Morning. Geller has been a featured speaker at the David Horowitz Freedom Center's Restoration Weekend and at numerous Tea Party and pro-freedom events across the nation.
Pamela Geller has broken numerous important stories -- notably the questionable and illegal foreign sources of some of the financing of the Obama campaign , the anti-Semitic posts on Obama's website, Obama's political organizing in public school classrooms, ACORN's destruction of Republican voter registrations, and many more, but perhaps she is best known for her leadership of the nationwide campaign against the Ground Zero mosque and her groundbreaking ad campaigns challenging jihad and sharia in the marketplace of ideas.
Pamela Geller began her publishing career at The New York Daily News and subsequently took over operation of The New York Observer as Associate Publisher.

This book chronicles Pamela's search for answers midst all the spin and deception this topic entails. With a forward by Dutch politician Geert Wilders one can see immediately that she has connections with some of the most influential voices in the field of critical thinking. Most in the west will find it a concerted effort to make sense of Muslim theology but Geller was quick to find other experts in the field such as Robert Spencer who were able to help her connect the dots. While Muslim history has been whitewashed and at times glorified Pamela soon found that shining the light of truth on the subject makes one a target of not only ridicule by leftist liberals but of jihadis who are willing to carry out the FATWA, or murder of those critical of the Muslim religion. Both jihad and fatwa are terms of war. When an influential Muslim Imam or Sheikh proclaims a “fatwa” against someone that means they are to be silenced by whatever means Allah's little helper may find suitable.
Those of us old enough to remember 9/11 was followed by Muslims attempting to build a mosque overlooking the site of what was once the twin towers. Following the pattern of history they had chosen the name “Cordoba” which smacked of the invasion and occupation of Spain from year 711 until they were driven out in 1492. Geller was quick to connect the dots. When Muslims invade a country it has been a common practice to build a large mosque or convert prior religious sites or churches as a statement of superiority as they did in Jerusalem and Constantinople. Pamela was one of those voices sounding the alarm at ground zero. Of course with this comes accusations of racism, hatred and intolerance.
In January of 2015 in the wake of the massacre of the Muhammad cartoonists of Charlie Hebdo in Paris Pamela Geller organized a draw Muhammad contest in Garland, Texas to let the world know that we are not going to bow to the pressure of Muslim thugs who threaten our free speech and freedom of expression. When two Muslim jihadis showed up at the art contest with guns loaded for infidels the seriousness of the ordeal became obvious. They wounded one security officer before being killed. About a month later Boston police had to kill a Muslim man who was planning to assassinate Geller. Get the picture? This is war!
Leading up to all of this Geller was able to make the connection that the OIC (The Organization of Islamic Cooperation) is a group of fifty-seven Muslim nations whose main focus is to neutralize criticism of Islam on the global stage. They happen to be the loudest voice at the United Nations and are quick to target anyone who makes fun of the prophet Muhammad in a cartoon. The OIC is the Muslim effort to resurrect the world Caliphate which collapsed when the Ottoman Empire died after the first world war. Their reach is far and wide and connected to many Muslim groups in the west such as CAIR, the Council on American Relations. Criticize Islam publicly in American and you will get CAIR's attention immediately.
What started as a simple blog called Atlas Shrugs from which Geller would comment on jihad activity in the news grew into a global platform for those sharing information about Muslim history and ideology and how to combat it. When the practice of honor killings of young women in Canada and America began to show up in the news Geller and her connections began speaking out. While the Muslim world turns a blind eye to fathers who murder their daughters for not wearing the hijab or leaving the faith Geller and her friends plotted an effort to give honor to those poor girls and provide an underground means of escape. Read about the battle for a headstone.
Pamela's experience should be a lesson to us all. Knowledge is power but knowledge is nothing if it remains hidden. While lapdog liberals in the media and Muslims have attacked her character, she has learned to not be intimidated. Because of being outspoken about Islam she has been added to the list of those forbidden entry to Britain and labeled “The Most Dangerous Woman in America”. And while education is supposed to be the motive of Colleges and Universities she has found that educating people about Islam is not at the top of the list. The reason is many have been bought by powerful oil rich countries. Free speech is a dangerous thing for Islam. When she began the effort of running ads exposing the evils of Islam on public transit buses in several American cities she found herself fighting it out in court. The San Francisco Municipal Transportation forbid free speech on their buses in 2017. Advertising “political” and “cause-related” issues are now rejected in New York; Washington D.C.; Boston; Miami; and Chicago.
My suggestion for anyone concerned about American values or our Judaeo/Christian heritage is to read Fatwa and get the facts straight about who our real enemy is. Islam is not your friend. https://youtu.be/QvFux5KpeTk
Pamela Geller begins by describing her carefree life in New York City before 9/11. She never considered the possibility of losing her freedom in such a wonderful country as America..."No country was better to its Jews."
(I had the same feelings of freedom but it took me many more years to truly awaken.)
For Pamela it pretty much changed overnight.
In her first chapter she speaks about her early life—"I loved Brooklyn. I would sneak out, take the car and go to jazz clubs and discos...late at night,"—but she soon started a website "Atlas Shrugs" (later became the Geller Report) and so began the ugly, vile, attacks from the left.
So quickly.
Chapter 3 talks about the Muslim girls who just wanted the freedom to do what they wanted. Heartbreaking to read..."honor killed" by their family, their father, their brother. Aqsa Parves was murdered for refusing to wear the hijab. When Aqsa continued to refuse, her father and brother decided to kill her. The brother asked an American friend to get him a gun.
The friend didn't, so Aqsa's brother simply strangled her.
Aqsa's entire story is told, and there are other named American Muslim girl victims.
Every year thousands of women and girls are honor-killed, most by Muslims.
Chapter 4 talks of the Ground Zero mosque. Imagine, a 16-story monstrosity going up at Ground Zero. The reason: the presence of a mosque asserts a triumphal victory. There are thousands of "triumphal" mosques all over the Islamic world. Pamela led the charge that stopped the Ground Zero mosque. "President Obama, Mayor Bloomberg, legions of craven politicians and a sharia-compliant, jackbooted media," were very upset.
Chapter 5 examines our meat supply. For years Butterball served halal turkey until 2012 when Pamela brought it to national attention.
It gets worse.
Meat and poultry are being slaughtered under halah rules but only a small portion is labeled "halal," meaning we likely unknowingly are bowing to Islam.
Much of Pamela's book is related to her ad-wars. Whenever Jew-hatred, Islamophobia, honor killing, or other hate-filled ads would appear on the sides of buses or billboards, she would develop a rebuttal ad, but the odds were against her. Rather than publish hers the media would simply change the rules, like "no more political ads." Many times she fought these "people" in court and often won to get her ad published.
But if the rules were changed then the jihadis didn't get their ad either.
In Chapter 6 (about halfway through) she describes her visits with Zuhdi Jasser (a suit-wearing jihadi if I ever saw one.) The man is a professional doctor, specializing internal medicine. Is he a "moderate?" In my mind (like the leader of Turkey) no such thing as a "moderate" Muslim. I think Zuhdi Jasser is the type who will lie and lie with a straight face in order to further the goal of Islam.
(To moderate a bit, I do feel sorry for the Muslim people. To leave Islam they face apostasy [death] so it's easier for them to do what their leadership tells them and stay with Islam, meaning a billion and a half people are living in 7th Century ideological slavery.)
It seems 9/11 was not the beginning but just another step in the silent takedown of America. It started in the 1960s "...with the success of the violent Berkley student rebellion in 1964..." The left began stepping in and taking over. (I didn't notice. I was naive, busy in the navy, with no thought of rebelling against the American leftist powers-that-be.)
Ross, North Dakota (my state) 1929, saw the first mosque built in nearly the center of North America. Was that the plan right then, a good place to spread the Islamic tentacles? The Muslim Brotherhood was founded in Egypt in 1928; the first Bro-hood organization was the MSAs (Muslim Student Associations) founded in the early 1960s. The first MSA appeared at the U of Illinois and spread quickly through American colleges (highschools too) which produced professionals ready to step into all American culture from academia to politics, education, religion, and on and on.
Way before 9/11 very likely the Bro-hood worked with the hijackers and had a plan to control the narrative right from the start, like when President Bush nearly immediately referred to Islam as a "...religion of peace."
What rings and rings and rings in Pamela's book—to me, at least—is, don't offend or anger Muslims because innocent people could get hurt (and DO, regularly) just stay quiet and you'll be okay—what BS!
Often/usually the media (what Pamela refers to as the enemedia and their lapdogs) not only doesn't tell the whole story, sometimes outright lies, and gives voice to pro-sharia and pro-jihad and to hell with the victim. Sometimes her descriptions make me bust right out laughing, like referring to the New York Daily News as "deranged" "left wing." I especially like "deranged."
To end this review I will quote Pamela:
"This is ultimately not about me; it is about whether America will stand for freedom or surrender.
"I don't want to die, but I will not live as a slave."
****
Pamela Geller, live forever.
Top reviews from other countries
Islamists can tell their followers to kill infidels (that is, anyone who isn't Muslim) and that is supported. If anyone speaks against it, they're branded as racist or fascist.
For genuine students of history, this account is eerily reminiscent of 1930s Germany, when the Nazi program was made plain to anyone with the wit to understand, and yet was not believed.
Read "Fatwa" and believe.
