Pam Geller, The Face Of Park51 Opposition, Now Downplaying Serbian War Crimes

As if her back catalog of tasteless Nazi references and smears of Muslims weren't enough, Pam Geller has further distanced herself from reality: She has written a blog post minimizing the severity of Serbian war crimes.
In a post on her blog, Geller wrote of the recent capture of Ratko Mladic, the Serbian general accused of presiding over the slaughter of thousands of Muslims at Srebrenica:
Instead of admitting their terrible mistake, the dhimmi Western powers are digging in their heels and further prosecuting the Serbs in their sisyphean and thankless efforts to stop Islamic imperialism.
Look, there are no heroes in the Bosnian conflict, but the Muslim atrocities were far worse. The Serbs dared to fight. That's what this is all about. As Gorin so succinctly put it, "They are guilty of ..... daring to answer war with war." The question is, why would the Western powers send in troops and pave the way for a militant Islamic state in the heart of Europe? The catastrophic consequences have not yet manifested themselves, but they will impact the geopolitical landscape in what promises to be a bloody 21st century.
Geller then quoted at length from a post by blogger Julia Gorin. From that post:
Whatever proof will be shown of executions by Mladic's forces of Muslim POWs (and there were a few hundred -- though not 8000), it's important to understand the main reason he has been sought with such universal zeal, as was Karadzic and the abducted-by-night Milosevic, not to mention all the lesser-known Serbs currently serving multi-decade terms. The crime they are all morally charged with -- above and beyond anything legal or technical -- is daring to fight back when Muslims attacked. They are guilty of being Serbian officials during war. Of daring to answer war with war.
[...]
As if Mladic did anything approaching the crimes that the 'legitimate' rulers of Kosovo committed against non-Albanians and Albanians alike -- and by their own hand. As if 1500 Muslim soldiers -- not “8000″ -- dying from a combination of combat, landmines, infighting and -- yes -- criminal execution of POWs compares to kidnapping and torturing civilians and selling their organs, to name just one slice of what these apparently more 'kosher' butchers are guilty of.
This is the sort of content Geller promotes: Those 8,000 dead Muslim men and boys? Eh, not that many. Sure, the Serbs killed a few people, but the Muslim forces were WAY worse.
This is the same Pam Geller who was once treated by legitimate news outlets as the go-to voice for criticism of Park51, a planned Muslim cultural center blocks from Ground Zero in New York.
When Geller isn't writing offensive screeds like this one, she's defending herself against well-founded allegations of propagating falsehoods. For example, see Geller's response to a profile of her on 60 Minutes. In an appearance on Fox Business' Follow the Money, Geller called the characterization “part of the Islamic supremacist agenda.”
