Excerpt:
A Long Island synagogue has canceled a controversial speech by conservative firebrand Pamela Geller.
Geller was set to speak Sunday at the Great Neck Synagogue. She had been invited by the men's club at the synagogue to give a speech on Sharia, the religious and moral code of Islam.
She has gained notoriety for her anti-Islam messages, notably including several series of ads that have appeared in the New York City subway and Metro North transit systems.
