Pam Geller claims Obama is taxing non-Muslims

Geller, paraphrased: "The only good Muslim is a dead one!"

Geller: Obama Imposing Islamic Jizya Tax On Non-Muslim Americans

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Monday, 12/15/2014 4:20 pm

Anti-Muslim blogger Pamela Geller said last week that the Obama administration’s actions on behalf of civil rights for Muslim Americans amount to the imposition of the jizya, a tax on non-Muslims. In an interview with Rick Wiles of “TruNews,” Geller fumed about a New Jersey town’s $7.75 million settlement with an Islamic group that sued after the township denied its request to build a mosque, a decision that a judge ruled [PDF] was made in part as a result of “anti-Muslim prejudice.”​ While the Brennan Center for Justice and the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund represented the Islamic center in the lawsuit, Geller blamed the Department of Justice, which according to one of the center’s attorneys had opened an investigation into the case. “That’s the jizya, that’s the poll tax we see all through Islamic history imposed upon Christians and Jews living under Islamic law,” she said of the settlement, accusing the Department of Justice of becoming the “de facto legal arm of many of these Muslim Brotherhood groups in the country.” Later in the broadcast, Geller claimed that there is “no question” that America has been “overthrown” by progressives who hate all things good, ushering in “terrible” and “catastrophic” consequences for the country.

in the WH to make sure he goes down in history as terrible and assuring no more minority presidents.

They hate based solely on color and names, they are very very ugly people.

And they are everywhere

I think our offices are within blocks of each other and I never miss the opportunity to give her a dirty look or call her a racist fear merchant in passing.

subway ads, as well as the video that spawned the Benghazi crisis.

The guy that produced the video had just gotten out of prison and miraculously was able to recruit actors, gather a crew, pay for the equipment and script writers, and re-writers, get logistics done for locations and all otsher things that go into video production.

He was also able to get it distributed through out the Middle East — all within a couple of months of getting out of prison all by himself, allegedly.

He was swiftly back in prison by the way after the deed was done.

Right. Give me a break.

How come that woman isn't indicted or something?

I would have thought. Seems an accurate paraphrase to me. She said the 'small town' was up against the Department of Justice in this case, so she's saying the DoJ imposed that 'tax' on the town.
