Pamela Geller

Who is Pamela Geller?

Pamela Geller is an American blogger, author, political activist, and commentator. She is known primarily for her criticism of Islamism and opposition to Islamic activities and causes, such as the proposed construction of an Islamic community center near the former site of the World Trade Center. She says her blogging and campaigns in the United States are against what she terms "creeping Sharia" in the country. She is described as a critic of radical Islam and self-described as opposing political Islam. Her viewpoints are described as anti-Islamic or Islamophobic.

Together with Robert Spencer, she co-founded the Freedom Defense Initiative and Stop Islamization of America. These organizations were labeled hate groups by UK government officials, who barred Geller's entry into the UK in 2013. She and Spencer co-authored the book The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration's War on America in 2010.
