Pamela Geller named Woman of the Year

Pamela Geller named Woman of the Year:

"Backing down is not in Pamela Geller’s lexicon.

In May 2015, Geller hosted an art exhibit and drawing contest featuring images of the Muslim prophet Muhammad. Her aim was to stand up for free speech by showing that Muslims could not intimidate non-Muslim Americans into following Shariah blasphemy laws, which prohibit any depictions of Muhammad.

Two gunmen showed up at the Garland, Texas, event and started shooting, injuring a security officer before being killed by police.

Frightened into silence? Not Geller."
