This is right up there with blaming Bank of America for the deaths of robbers who tried to rob it and shoot customers. If the bank hadn't concentrated all that money in one building, the robbers who shot up the place would still be alive.
It's hard to even imagine people being so warped that they blame Geller for jihadis getting the proper results of their acts of attempted murder.
Except in todays bizarro world, inhabited by bizarro liberals who do exactly that.

AP Headline Blames Pamela Geller For Deaths of Two Men Who Tried to Kill Her

Last night, the Associated Press tweeted an article about Pamela Geller, organizer of the Garland, TX "Draw Muhammad" contest that nearly resulted in her death, with a rather, shall-we-say, victim-blaming headline.

Pamela Geller says she has no regrets about Prophet Muhammad cartoon contest that ended in 2 deaths:

This is a rather unusual description of what actually happened at the event. Two armed men attempted to attack Geller and the other attendees of the event, but they were shot dead by armed guards before they could, you know, murder people. Shucks.
The exhibit didn't "result in deaths." These were not accidental shootings or deaths caused by some sort of tragedy. Nobody goes to an art exhibit expecting to be shot. The people who were killed were jihadis intent on carrying out a fatwa on Geller. Geller should not have to say she "regrets" anything--the rational or expected response to a controversial exhibit is not the attempted mass murder of everyone in attendance.
The AP's attempt to clarify the tweet blaming someone who was almost murdered for nearly being murdered was...just as bad.
