Photos attached from anti-Islam demo in Mineola, Sunday, April 14, 1 PM
The demonstration held in front of the Nassau County Human Rights Commission offices in Mineola on Sunday afternoon, April 14, 1 P.M., was organized by Pamela Geller, following her stirring morning talk at the Chabad of Great Neck with Rabbi Geisinsky. Recognizing that Habib Ahmed, the "Human Rights" Commissioner had unjustly caused the cancellation of Geller's talk at the Great Neck Synagogue, Pamela called for the demonstration in front of his offices to stress that free speech in America will not be intimidated or stifled because of Islamic threats. Pamela Geller spoke to the crowd of over 100, carrying flags and signs, and introduced Robert Spencer, Director of Jihad Watch, known as a foremost spokesman and author against radical Islam. Ashraf Ramelah, President of the Voice of the Copts, followed, emphasizing the horrific situation of the Copts of Egypt. Helen Freedman, Executive Director of Americans for a Safe Israel/AFSI, completed the trio of scheduled speakers. She spoke about the failure of American leadership to identify jihad terror for what it is.
