Oh, this is rich.
Is it really a parody?
Or did they just follow around a random Media Matters reader for a couple of hours?
Bingo!
Shiz libs say: hat tip Breitbart via Shawn
Wow! Ornette Coleman! I love him! And such a song -- this is the song that made his reputation, along with the entire album on which it appeared, The Shape of Jazz to Come in 1959.
I'm partial, however, to the breathtaking Ornette On Tenor. (Tenor saxophone, that is. He usually plays alto sax, a white plastic one, as in this video.)
Lonely Woman On An Open Thread
The great Ornette Coleman playing his classic "Lonely Woman" at the Theatre Antique de Vienne in 2008. Forget about the jihad and all the rest of it, grab someone you love, and get out and enjoy your life. Go.
tellthetruth:
Why don't you tell the truth? "Kuffar" means those who cover the truth, i.e., unbelievers. See, for example, Qur'an 5:17 and 5:72, which label Christians "kafara," that is, unbelievers, for believing in the divinity of Christ.
Groomed for Sex Then Thrown Into Canal and Killed: Life Sentence for Muslim Who Honor Murdered Non-Muslim Girl for 'Shaming' Muslim Family
He pleaded guilty and got a life sentence, but he could get out in 17 1/2 years. Shameful. The sexploitation of non-Muslim girls by Muslim men is epidemic in the UK. It will only grow more common unless authorities act decisively against it. Codeword alert -- as in most coverage of Muslims, jiha...

I think there is a difference between those we would consider "Islamist" and those we think of as, you put it, "Islamic." The Islamic Muslims do recognize that there should be a separation between Mosque and state. Mustafa Kemal Atatürk is, I believe, a good example.
Mustafa Kemal Ataturk is hardly a representative example of an "Islamic Muslim," which is as redundant a term as you could get. Ataturk established secular Turkey by essentially going to war with Islam and restricting its political aspects, most notably by abolishing the caliphate. For his pains he is widely regarded in the Islamic world as an enemy of Islam. At no point in his career did he in any way suggest that what he was doing was any form of Islam. On the contrary, he was explicit about restricting Islam in Turkey.
Islamic vs. Islamist: An Artificial Distinction
Essentially, what does it mean to say that someone or something is "Islamist" as opposed to "Islamic"? Nothing, really, except that the person speaking doesn't want to offend Islam by speaking unwelcome truths about the political nature of the religion. Robert has this: Islam and Islamists Jihad...
Palin for President -- the next best thing to a Geller candidacy!
Love huh!
All free people should stand with Israel thanks to Robert Israel is on the front line of the global jihad. All lovers of freedom must stand with her. Run, Sarah, run!
Looks as if Charles Johnson sent over every one of his remaining cult members to spread their vile hatred on this site.
The intellectual vacuity and bankruptcy, and the naked and unhinged hatred, of CJ and his minions is on abundant display here. There is no mention of treason in the post. There is only the assertion that Obama was reluctant to hit OBL. There is nothing unbelievable about that at all -- witness his widely-reported aborting of a bombing mission on OBL's compound in March. Also, years ago, it was reported that Bill Clinton, in a vastly different context, declined to give an order to take out bin Laden. So why should Obama's hesitation in this instance be unbelievable? It isn't.
CJ's cult members are here first misstating what Pamela Geller wrote, and then smearing her with their misstatements. It is typical of the dirty tactics of the Left, and evidence yet again that they're simply incapable of having a rational discussion.
Skulking Towards bin Laden: Obama Overridden by Military and Intel Officials in Takeout of OBL?
As Obama continues to politicize and mine the takedown of Osama Bin Laden and the outrageous "Islamic burial" that followed, new details emerge of his reluctance and refusal to sign off on the mission. It is the height of hypocrisy and crass opportunism to draw out the release of the death photo...
This whole story is exceedingly strange. Why release it now? If there was nothing on it, then why the long wait? It reminds me of what Pamela wrote in the summer of 2009: "I suspect that the administration has a hot little document that will wash away Obama’s sins and make the concern about this issue look silly....In what could be considered a psyop on the American people, the birth certificate issue is being used to smear the Republicans in general as 'birthers,' conspiracy nuts who have given themselves over to right-wing nuttery."
That's from her article "Obama Birth Certificate Issue Causing Needless Distractions," here: http://www.newsmax.com/PamelaGeller/obama-certificate-kenya/2009/08/04/id/332088
Maybe she called it way back then.
Obama Gaslights the American People
I will be on Eric Bolling's show on FOX Business tonight to discuss the release of Obama's birth certificate. Why is Obama gaslighting the American people? Why is he toying with, gaming the American people? I broke the story of the altered COLB back in June and July of 2008 -- the COLB he posted...
"Someonesane"? Heh
Anyway...it is so elementary that it ought not to need to be said, but here goes anyway. At 37:50 Pamela spoke of the superiority of Western civilization. At 1:01:47 she spoke about the "fantasy" that one race was superior to another.
A civilization is not a race, and a race is not a civilization. Indeed, as another commenter points out, one of the things that makes Western civilization superior is that is eschews racism, unlike, say, Islamic civilization, which exalts Arabs above others (just ask the Darfuris if you don't believe me).
Do you know the difference between a civilization and a race?
Obviously you don't. But don't expect others to be fooled by the smugness and arrogance you use to hide your abject ignorance and determination to impugn someone who is more of a freedom fighter than you clearly will ever be.
Cordially

Pamela Geller at NYU
I spoke yesterday afternoon to a class on NYU on the Ground Zero mosque. Daisy Khan and/or Imam Rauf were supposed to debate me -- but canceled out. I suspect they abhor a level playing field when it comes to debate, preferring instead to proselytize. I would relish the opportunity to "...
You really showed them up on this one, Pamela. You're a magnificent battler, and the sinister Rehab and the ridiculous Beckel were exposed to the world as precisely what they are. You are the very, very best at this, and I am very proud to work with you. Kudos! Excelsior!
FOX Business: Hate Sponsor CAIR on Steroids, Waterboy Bob Beckel Squeal and the Ground Zero Mosque
I have been doing a lot of media, and Atlas readers are well aware of the campaign of destruction of freedom defenders by the leftist/Islamic machine. Tonight's Ground Zero mosque segment on Eric Bolling's Money Rocks perfectly illustrates this, and the perverse marriage of the left and...
David Paine:
You said this: "We are NOT opposing the rally itself. In fact many of the individuals who signed this letter ABSOLUTELY OPPOSE the location of the mosque, including me."
Then why did you appear on Olbermann, who supports the mosque and wants to smear Pamela Geller and all those who oppose it?
Do you -- a public relations man -- really not realize that by appearing on Olbermann's show you played into the hands of those who support the mosque, which you say you oppose?
Do you really expect us to believe that you didn't know what you were doing?
He's Not Even A 911 family Member
Fraud alert The vampires are out in full force. Last night, Keith Ubertool Olbermann earned his propaganda paycheck by lying, deceiving and giving opportunists and charlatans the opportunity to exploit the horrible 911 attacks for their own personal gain. David Paine went on Keith Olbe...
Pamela:
Thank you for your clear-sighted stand on this. So few in today's public discourse challenge the very idea of an "occupation" that began in 1967 and, if ended, will bring peace to the restive Middle East. No one stops to ask why the "Palestinians" did not rail against "occupation" between 1948 and 1967, during which time Gaza was occupied by Egypt and Judea and Samaria by Jordan.
In this, once again, you are leading the way and standing for truths that are otherwise largely obscured, and I am proud to stand with you.
Israel In Obama's Crosshairs: Imposing a death sentence "that ends the occupation which began in 1967"
"The purpose of these talks is clear. These will be direct negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians. These negotiations are intended to resolve all final status issues. The goal is a settlement, negotiated between the parties, that ends the occupation which began in 1967 and results in the...
A Love Supreme is a 4-part suite. Part I is Acknowledgment. That's what you posted last time. Then comes this, Part II, Resolution. Then follows Part III, Pursuance, and Part IV, Psalm.
It is a magnificent hymn, lovely in its intensity, and the four parts represent stages of the spiritual life. They also represent stages of the beginning phase of any love relationship, sacred or secular.
John Coltrane, we miss you.
A Resolute Open Thread
Week before last back I gave you part I of A Love Supreme (is there any other kind?) and now Resolution (part II) Coltrane.....................
Great post, Pamela. Keep shining the light of truth on them!
Taking on the Haters: Mahdi Bray, supporter of Hamas and Hizb'Allah, and his sidekick Ibrahim Ramey
I’m always surprised that tiny, bigoted minds get to claim so much territory in the American public discourse, but there I was, on an early morning CNN program on July 14th, in a “debate” with Ibrahim Ramey of the notorious Muslim American Society. (Click here for the Atlas post and video.)...

It does nothing for your credibility that you continue charging here that Pamela has made some kind of error, when nowhere in her post above does she ever identify any EDL members as UAF.
EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS: UAF Fascists Disrupt Caged EDL Anti-Islamisation Protest in Dudley, Nine Arrested UPDATE: EDL Member stabbed, Another attacked by Muslim with Broken Bottle
The EDL is being smeared like the tea party activists in the States. The media is corrupt. UPDATE: Here's an on-scene report from UK David:The EDL were driven into a huge metal cage with high fences all around and kept tightly packed in for over two hours. They were told by Police officers ...
Green Infidel:
"Yeah, looks like Pamela might have mistaken the EDL members for being UAF."
I don't see where you're getting this. Nowhere in her post does Pamela mistake any EDL members for being UAF.
The only thing I can figure that you could be talking about is her caption on the last photo above -- Muslims getting searched for weapons. That one was captioned by the BBC earlier today as "Asians" (UK mediaspeak for Muslims) being searched. Now the BBC seems to have taken it down. But that is the source for Pamela's caption.
It doesn't look as if she has confused the EDL with UAF anywhere.

Wow! Steve Lacy, the world's premier soprano saxophonist, at Atlas! And such a beautiful song! Lacy's improvised introduction is just stunning.
Halal ........ Pork on an Open Thread
Goodbye pork pie hat - Gil Evans & Steve Lacy (this one's for the Don) Such a lovely lovely thing, a tribute to Lester Young written by Charles Mingus.
Pamela:
Terrific piece. The juxtaposition of Obama's apocalyptic global warming rhetoric with the city in lockdown for a jihad plot is so astonishing that if a movie script about a weak and compromised president contained something like this, it would be rejected as too improbable.
Thanks for your investigative discoveries, your insights, and your courage to speak the truth.
Pamela Geller, American Thinker: The Toothless Visas Viper

Pamela
I have been following your banner search closely and while I loved the last one (such a magnificent picture of you), this is the best one yet by far. It captures the spirit of Atlas -- unconquerable, unbowed, extraordinarily courageous, holding to beauty and truth with joy and ease. In other words, it captures the spirit of Pamela Geller.
A Banner that Reflects My Sense of Life
A big long kiss to Big Fur Hat, illustrator extraordinaire, for executing my vision in my new banner. I am thrilled. I may tweak here and there, but my vision is captured. He was so on board with what I was trying to do and patient. If I showed you the various incarnations of this personal state...
Pamela, brava! The new banner is a real winner. It's superbly designed, and features a fantastic photo of you -- one that ably captures your indomitable spirit and joie de vivre even in the face of all the evils of the world today, as well as your perceptiveness and keen eye in calling those evils by their right names when most analysts are cowering and dissembling.
Excelsior!
Glam Banner
As I explained earlier, I am working on internal housekeeping chores here in the guts of the Atlassphere - I think the right sidebar issue has been corrected and is no longer running below post entries in Safari and on on Macs. If you are still experiencing this, please advise me in the comments...
Hey, nice work, Pamela!
The site looks clean and sharp. Bright and breezy.
The best part, as always, remains your clarity of vision and courage to uphold what is right.
Excelsior!
Housekeeping
I have been tweaking the site a bit. Cleaning it up, writing CSS code - so happy I figured that out. Now my main column isn't fluid, it's tight and I love it. I also was tweaking the art a bit and asked Stogie over at Saberpoint to help me with the new banner. Stogie has been the man I go to eve...

So now we serve at the pleasure of Islamic jihad. More! Faster! Faster, dogs! I can hear them now ... What's interesting is that this poll is being disseminated inside government agencies at all levels as the holy grail. Who gives a fig what jihad wants? Polls, no less. Did FDR conduct Nazi pol...
