Pamela Geller, who devotes her life to arguing that the religion of Islam is the greatest national security threat to the U.S. and the West, continues to cut a swath inside the Jewish community. Last month a Great Neck, Long Island, synagogue invited her to talk about the Islamization of America then backed out under protest; but a Chabad House promptly hosted Geller before a packed crowd, and after that the “good rabbi” (as Geller put it) of Congregation Beth-El in Edison, N.J., also hosted her.

These follies did not dissuade the Toronto Jewish community from enacting a similar drama. JTA:

A suburban Toronto synagogue canceled a speaking engagement by Pamela Geller, a vocal critic of radical Islam. Geller was due to speak May 13 at a Chabad synagogue in Thornhill, north of Toronto, but the synagogue’s rabbi, Mendel Kaplan, backed out following a visit by the hate crimes unit of local police.

But it looks like she found a place— a Zionist Centre:

Pamela Geller, a controversial speaker best known for protesting a planned mosque near Ground Zero in New York and plastering that city’s subway system with anti-jihad ads, will speak May 13 at the Toronto Zionist Centre, a pro-Israel rental space. Geller, who is being brought in to speak by the hard-line Jewish Defence League (JDL), was originally supposed to lecture at the Chabad Flamingo Synagogue in Thornhill, Ont., but York Regional Police threatened its rabbi with his removal as a police chaplain if he let the event happen.

The Jewish Defence League of Canada, which is committed to “restoring the pride and integrity of the Jewish people,” is hosting Geller. It has 30 security staff on hand to handle possible disruption, something they’re practiced in; though it reports that the event is sold out.

Mark Steyn at National Review Online is concerned that the Jewish community is not wrapping its arms around Geller.
