Charles Jacobs, President of Americans for Peace and Tolerance, calls Pamela Geller a Jewish heroine.

I ’ve been thinking about writing this piece for months. I’m not happy with myself for putting it off. When you know you’ll get blasted for doing something that’s right, not everyone rushes immediately to do the right thing. I’m not proud for hesitating.

An AP article about  Jerusalem mufti Mohammed Hussein, states, "Hussein has been known as a relative moderate."
 
A Daily Telegraph article describes the man who was called a "relative moderate" by AP.
 
Sheikh Hussein later caused controversy by defending suicide bombings "as long as it plays a role in the resistance".
...He also drew criticism in 2011 for reciting an infamous hadith in which the Prophet Mohammad is quoted as having urged his followers to kill Jews.
Memri.org has a clip of the recital of the hadith by the mufti.
