On her blog, Atlas Shrugs, she daily reports on crimes allegedly committed by Muslims \u2013 and only Muslims \u2013 wherever in the world they might be, painting a picture for her largely white and scared suburban audience of a world where swarthy Others are hell bent on the global imposition of Sharia law. Fathers, watch your daughters: Muhammed\u2019s coming to town and he wants her to wear a burka.<\/p>\n<p>The odd, weird, curious thing about Pamela\u2019s Islamophobia, though, is that while she\u2019ll own it in front of a bunch of flag-waving Tea Partiers protesting a mosque, she\u2019ll back away from it in front of a crowd of young Hollywood liberals. Indeed, the way she spoke during her appearance on BrandX, you\u2019d almost think she didn\u2019t want to turn the Middle East to glass.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Oh Pam!
