The anti-mosque movement’s leader is a Zionist ally of white supremacist networks.

Evidence

Stop Islamization of America, whose name is based on the notion that Muslims are conspiring to take over the United States, called a protest for May 29 against what Geller called the “911 Monster Mosque.” Geller is a fan of far-right Dutch politician Geert Wilders (the feeling is mutual, given his glowing blurb for the book she coauthored on the Obama presidency) and an admirer of open fascists and street gangs such as the English Defense League that routinely attack Muslims and immigrants. She once claimed that Black South Africans are launching a “genocide” against whites. A staunch Zionist, she wrote a column in an Israeli newspaper in which she referred to the term “Palestinian” as “fallacious” and exhorted Israelis to “stand loud and proud. Give up nothing. Turn over not a pebble. For every rocket fired, drop a MOAB. Take back Gaza. Secure Judea and Samaria.” — Deepa Kumar, Islamophobia and the Politics of Empire, 515

Categorization

• XREF: Directly links Islamophobia to Zionism — Geller’s Palestinian-denial writings tie the Cordoba House campaign to the state of Israel, the reader’s central question about imperial projects and Palestine.
• FICTION: The collision of a swimming-pool community center, a MOAB-exhorting blogger, and Ground Zero could anchor a narrative about manufactured outrage.
