'What happened to the give me liberty or give me death America?' Organizer of Muhammad cartoon contest addresses death threats and real fear

Pamela Geller has received many death threats as she continues to fight against jihadists.

During CNN's Jake Tapper's interview with the American Freedom Defense Initiative president, Pamela Geller, Tapper asked if her ongoing activism is "worth dying for." This question came in light of the death threats and actual violence sparked from Geller's Muhammad cartoon contest, including the plot to behead her from a Boston terrorist.

MUNTINLUPA, PHILIPPINES (Catholic Online) -  "What happened to the give me liberty or give me death America?" she replied back to the host of "The Lead," provoking thought from viewers. "The Founding Fathers were pursuing this very dream, and through blood and toil and intellectual wrestling, and a revolution - we got to this enlightenment, this period of enlightenment."

She refuses to surrender the beliefs and ideals the Founding Fathers spearheaded for the country, adding that we cannot "allow jihadists to dictate what the parameters of our speech is," according to the Breitbart. Geller explained that Americans shouldn't resort to the submission the terrorists demand.

In previous reports, Geller talked about the death threats she has been receiving over her continuous activism. During her interview, she explained that there is fear as she does things people want to kill her for.

With receiving threats over email last month after a cartoon contest was held, attacked by two extremists in Texas, and conversations plotting to kill her picked up by the FBI, Geller admitted to fearing for her life, contrary to some opinions that she doesn't.

"I would be silly to say that there isn't - it's not fearful. [But] it's scarier to do nothing, because complying with the Shariah leads to more demands for Shariah compliance," she told Tapper. However, not everyone's happy with her appearance on the show.
