Five years ago this week, our free speech event in Garland, Texas was attacked by an Islamic cell. Muslims, who traveled from Arizona, opened fire on our art exhibit because it was in violation of blasphemy laws under the sharia. Scroll here.
This film tells the story.

Human rights advocacy group the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI) today announced the release on Amazon of Can’t We Talk About This? The Islamic Jihad Against Free Speech, a shocking new film detailing the concerted effort by international organizations to compel the U.S. and other Western countries to curtail the freedom of speech and criminalize criticism of Islam.
Featuring exclusive new interviews with Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Geert Wilders, Mark Steyn, Douglas Murray, Ezra Levant, Lars Vilks, Robert Spencer, Garland Muhammad cartoon contest winner Bosch Fawstin, and many other heroes of freedom, including AFDI President Pamela Geller, this web series will be the first ever to expose the war on free speech. It is certain to shock the American public and awaken many. These interviews reveal events at Garland and its aftermath that have never before been made public, and demonstrate how far advanced the war on free speech really is.
AFDI President Pamela Geller said in a statement: “In this film, we’re setting the record straight about our Garland free speech event, at which we were not only targeted by Islamic jihadis but apparently by the FBI as well. But we’re doing much more as well: we’re telling the whole, as-yet-untold truth about the war on free speech.”
Geller added: “Hollywood will never tell this story. The media will never tell this story. Our public schools and universities will never teach our children what happened. The truth must be told.”
Can’t We Talk About This? is a follow-up to AFDI’s acclaimed 2011 documentary, The Ground Zero Mosque: The Second Wave of the 9/11 Attacks. This much-needed new web series gives viewers the inside story of what happened in Garland and why, and lays out the full and appalling details of the all-out assault on the freedom of speech that is taking place today – and why this may be the most crucial battleground today in the war for the survival of the United States of America as a free republic.
The web series also features seldom-seen news footage and revealing details not only of the Garland event and the jihad killers who wanted to wage jihad there, but also of the many other battlegrounds in the war for free speech that led up to the Garland attack, including the death fatwa issued in 1989 by the Islamic Republic of Iran against Salman Rushdie for his supposed blasphemy in The Satanic Verses; the assassination of Theo Van Gogh by a Muslim on an Amsterdam street in November 2004 for his alleged blasphemy; the Dutch newspaper Jyllands Posten’s cartoons of Muhammad, published in September 2005, which touched off international riots and killings by Muslims – and most disturbing of all, calls in the West for restrictions on the freedom of speech; the Organization of Islamic Cooperation’s years-long struggle at the UN to compel the West to criminalize “incitement to religious hatred” (a euphemism for criticism of Islam); and the U.S. under Obama signing on to UNCHR Resolution 16/18, which calls on member states to work to restrict incitement to religious hatred.
Can’t We Talk About This? covers lesser-known skirmishes in the war against free speech as well, such as Seattle cartoonist Molly Norris’ “Everybody Draw Muhammad Day” in 2010, after which Norris was forced to go into hiding and change her identity after threats. And it traces what immediately led up to the Garland event – most notably, the January 2015 massacre of Muhammad cartoonists at the offices of the Charlie Hebdo satirical magazine in Paris and the subsequent “Stand with the Prophet” event in Garland, at which Muslim groups gathered in the wake of that massacre not to defend free speech, but to complain about “Islamophobia,” while AFDI members and supporters protested outside.
Geller explained: “We’ll set out the media firestorm that followed the Garland event, as well as the attempts to kill me, and explain why the event’s detractors were all missing the point: the freedom of speech doesn’t apply only if you like the message; it applies to everyone. And if it is gone, so is a free society.”
Can’t We Talk About This? tells the whole horrifying story of how advanced the Islamic war on free speech is, and how close leftist and Islamic authoritarians are to final victory and the death of the freedom of speech and free society.

Your advocacy for free speech would be a lot more credible if you didn’t support the anti-BDS laws.

If BDS stops me from getting stuff from other country such as israel, and thus VIOLATING MY FREEDOM, then I will support anti-BDS laws.

The BDS movement is allah about the destruction of Israel as a viable state Adolph, or is it Abdullah? What the BDS movement really needs is an enema of exposure to discover who and what is funding it.

The BDS movement is not about the destruction of Israel. It’s about trying to get Israel to follow international law and cease human rights’ violations. Similarly I would support a boycott of Saudi Arabia and North Korea if such movements existed.

I agree that you can be anti-BDS and pro-free speech. But if you support the anti-BDS laws, which forbid contracts between BDS supporters and the government, then you are anti-free speech. If you support those laws, then you believe the government can punish you for your speech, a clear violation of the 1st amendment. That’s why these laws are being challenged all over the country, and usually it is recognized that they are unconstitutional.

What do you mean the contracts between BDS supporters and the government?
What is in there?
If it’s to force people from all over the country to not use products from certain country, then no wonder it is forbidden, BECAUSE FORCING PEOPLE TO NOT USE PRODUCTS FROM CERTAIN COUNTRY IS NOT TRUE FREE SPEECH, IT’S FASCISM.
Don’t you dare to lecture me about free speech. Your speech and idea are not as free as the name implies.

This is a very poorly written Wikipedia article. The law says that an individual cannot receive state money for the purpose of the boycott. Many states, such as Texas do millions of dollars in business with Israel. It is not reasonable to ask the state to finance an activity that would undermine its own economy.

You fagcist is a coward who only talks about anti-BDS laws is clear violation bla bla etc etc, but you’re not being honest on what is in the contracts between BDS supporters and government. I bet you’re just no balls pu5sy who likes hiding under your mommy’s dress.

contracts between BDS supporters and the government
Something tells me that
Prohibiting country and its people from using products from certain country is OKAY for these BDS supporters, but
Prohibiting BDS supporters from imposing boycott rules on products from certain country is NOT OKAY for these BDS supporters
BDS supporters don’t have credibility to lecture us about free speech and human’s right.

No sir, you are mistaken. The anti-BDS laws apply to companies. I know there have been some poor legal decisions made but you can read the simple laws for yourself. https://reason.com/2019/02/18/everything-you-wanted-to-know-about-anti/

Yeah right, you all hateful hypocrites want to make this stupid BDS as a national movement, because the individual right to boycott products from israel is not enough for you to bring down jewish country. You want to force all people around you to stop using products from israel. What a shame your beloved congresswoman who also supports BDS was using israeli’s product Wix.com, and only God knows how many of you hateful hypocrites have been using israeli’s products.
So f**k off, hypocrites loser, I spit on your stupid movement.

I don’t care if you’re against it. But the point of free speech is that you support it for people with which you disagree. Just admit you don’t support free speech.

WTF are you talking about?
I don’t support the movement that requires us to boycott some things, will you support the movement that requires nothing to boycott?
I don’t even care if you want to boycott the things you don’t like, just don’t force me to boycott the things you don’t like.
This is the true free speech. If you tell me and force me to support movement that you are in, then it’s not the true free speech, it’s what they call FASCISM.

That’s not at all what the BDS movement is. I actually do not support the BDS movement in its entirety, but I recognize that the anti-BDS laws are a clear violation of the 1st Amendment. There should be no government repercussions on an individual who supports a boycott of a country.

I think you missed the point entirely. No one is talking about terrorism. We’re talking about the government cracking down on individuals for supporting a nonviolent protest (the anti-BDS laws).

Civilization will survive quite well in a world which includes Israel. Civilization will die in a world run by the 7th century hate cult of Islam which masquerades as a religion all while telling us for over 1400 years that we MUST: “Convert or Die”.

Is Molly Norris even still alive? Or has some “loyal” muslum in US law enforcement already dropped the dime on her? No one would ever know if she had been killed because she’s living under a new identity, she would just be another statistic.
