Pamela Geller says she doesn't regret organizing the Prophet Muhammad cartoon contest that ended in gunfire last weekend.
In fact, she plans to host more events just like it. Next time, though, she'll be wearing a bulletproof vest.
Geller has always hired armed security personnel to protect the scores of controversial events she has spearheaded across the U.S. in recent years to decry what she calls Islamic extremism. But the furor over Sunday's shooting in Garland, Texas, has led to a specific threat against Geller.
It was posted on a website related to the Islamic State group. The New York Police Department is taking it seriously. Now she doesn't travel anywhere without protection. (***)
