Pamela Geller 'Sharia' Event In Great Neck Spurs Activists On Both Sides
Shortly after it was announced that Pamela Geller, an outspoken critic of radical Islam, would be appearing at Great Neck Synagogue April 14 to discuss the Imposition of Sharia in America, an e-mail and phone campaign sought to get the talk canceled.
In response, a counter protest was launched to support her appearance and that of Greg Buckley, Sr., whose 21-year-old son, Lance Cpl. Greg Buckley of Oceanside, L.I., was killed last August by a policeman in Afghanistan.
The event, according to one e-mail, was planned to enable Buckley to tell of his sons murder and to shine the spotlight on the plight of our brave young soldiers and military families and their demand for respect and justice from our government, which has so far been denied.
But those questioning the event have focused on Gellers appearance.
She is very much anti-Syrian and anti-Muslim and has said she would use our holy book, the Koran, as a door stopper, said Habeeb Ahmed, who is one of 14 Nassau County Human Rights Commissioners and the first vice president of the Islamic Center of Long Island.
