Pamela and Robert were both very well aware, even before they started raising funds for this project, that the family might object to the marker, and ask for it to be removed.

From her blog post dated December 10, 2008:

UPDATE: From the Toronto Sun: “For $580, the cemetery can put a flat marker there — with her name, date of birth and death, and at least people can find her if they want to come to pay their respects. A cemetery employee said there is no problem if others want to place a flat memorial there but it would be removed if the family were to demand that.”

We are doing this!

Geller and Spencer pressed ahead together with this project to pick a fight, and make an example out of this family.

She raised nearly seven times more than was necessary for a basic marker, and when the family predictably refused to allow her headstone to be put on the daughters’ grave, Pamelas’ public reaction was equally predictable. From her blog entry dated Jan. 22, 2009:

Robert Spencer and I have pursued the headstone marker furiously. We approved the headstone back on December 23rd (here), The bottom line is that the family (her alleged murderers) has to “sign off” on it. We are still waiting for them to look at the headstone. Clearly they are the obstacle

She and Spencer are busy trying to ram their project down the families’ throat here, while trying at the same time to circumvent their wishes and have the marker placed in a spot nearby that they have no control over. Absolutely pathetic.

She brags about the following exchange with the hapless cemetary personel:

Here is the last exchange with the cemetery:

Hi Pamela,

I just had a conversation with my boss and the conclusion is that the only option to memorialize Aqsa is the marker for her grave. We do not have a Memorial tree option and the land on Section 17 does not allow for a bench as you need a large open space for it and the section does not have that space.

Thanks,
Philip

Philip, The family is not going to memorialize this girl. She has shamed the family. Sharia law will not allow this girl a headstone. Am I to understand that if the family does not sign off on the headstone that the cemetery in this free, western nation will submit to the barbarity of a misogynist barbaric code and allow this girl to rot in an unmarked grave?

Yours in liberty,
Pamela Geller

UPDATE: I think it speaks volumes to how far down the rabbit hole the West has gone that the family that murdered her in the name of Islam, can stop a marker or headstone in the name of Islam.

Bottom line:
She knew all along what was going to happen here.

This was done for publicity, and for publicities’ sake alone.
