Proof The Bible Is True

“This is a clear case of censorship based on their views being “upsetting” to certain people. This is a big step toward the loss of free speech in Britain.”  Admin

A British court has affirmed a governmental decision to ban American conservative and pro-Israel activists Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller from visiting the United Kingdom.

The two wrote that the decision reflects the nation’s “descent into authoritarianism” and a “suicidal path of appeasement of Islamic jihadists and supremacists.”

Spencer, who directs Jihad Watch, and Geller, who blogs at Atlas Shrugs, both advocate for Israel and American support for Israel. They write regularly on Islamic terrorism and had been invited to speak at a freedom protest in the U.K.

However, the British government, utilizing a letter from an unidentified official in its Foreign and Commonwealth Office that cited the pair’s “pro-Israeli views,” banned them even before they had decided whether to attend the event.

The British government had been advised by an investigator assigned to the case that, among other things, “Pamela Geller’s outspoken support for Israel may also attract pro-Palestinian groups to attend, further complicating the policing operation on the ground and making it harder to keep opposing groups apart.”

In an article Thursday co-authored by Geller and Spencer, they said the British Court of Appeal has affirmed their ban.
