ban Pamela Geller and Robert spencer from France

these 2 should not be aollwed in France

Pamela Geller is the epically insane writer who blogs atAtlas Shrugs (named after Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged). She is well-known for her ridiculous vlogs, her hatred of anyone looking like a Muslim, her occasional ability to post screed so incoherent that it makes you wonder if she's got what might be politely termed a "problem her hate for muslim has caused other things like Anders Breivik

In 2007, Geller published a letter from an anonymous Atlas Shrugs reader in Norway, who ranted about Muslims and claimed that "we" were "stockpiling and caching weapons, ammunition and equipment". Geller published the letter anonymously on account of potential prosecution by Norwegian authorities — here was someone saying they were stockpiling weapons! — and seemed very encouraging of his fight against the Muslim hordes. It has been suggested that this letter was from Norwegian domestic terrorist Anders Behring Breivik, who appears to have been influenced by Geller's regular Islamophobic hyperbole.

It's unclear if the letter was actually from Breivik himself. There are a few parallels, but some inconsistencies. The writer of the letter appears to had been a fundamentalist Christian, stating "I believe we are the very last generation on earth before the return of God", "I will stay and fight (...) for the God-fearing people", "God is with you too" amongst other religious rhetoric. However Breivik, despite initial reports suggesting he was a fundamentalist appears to be a "cultural" Christian and his only link with religion is the maintenance of Christian heritage in Europe, rather than the establishment of a theocracy. However, some evidence from Breivik's online presence prior to his attack suggests that he was a fan of Geller, having recommended posts on Geller's blog.

Like other right-wingers who inspired Breivik, Geller has since backpedalled at the speed of light and edited the above e-mail to remove the sentence about stockpiling weapons. Whether the person behind the email was Breivik, someone else, or perhaps just made up from Geller's imagination (stranger things have happened) is immaterial, however, as what is known is that "anti-jihadist" rhetoric from the likes of Pamela Geller formed a major part of the influences behind Breivik's ideas, eventually leading him on a murderous rampage.

Robert spencer

Anti-Muslim Polemicist:

Spencer’s polemical attack is based on his personal study of Islam since he has no formal training in Islamic studies. Spencer employs a number of arguments and tactics in his polemics: projecting the actions of an individual as an inherent trait of the entire group, taking the most extreme opinions and interpretations of Islam and asserting them as correct, normative and mainstream, conflating culture with religion, guilt by association, regurgitating Orientalist ideas, and weaponizing, revisiting and at times forging history to suit his arguments. He consistently forwards conspiracy theories about “Stealth Jihad,” “Eurabia,” genocide in Bosnia never occurring or being exaggerated, eminent “Islamization of America,” and the infiltration of Congress by “Muslim spy interns.”

Robert Spencer is in fact an anti-Muslim polemicist and advocate. He cloaks himself in the presentation of a “scholar” in order to sell his otherwise laughable “scholarship” to the clueless and the gullible. And doesn't speak arabic
