Obama is still whining. The mainstream media is still whining. Even Larry King is whining.
It was political satire in the richest American tradition--a centuries-old practice in this country. But Barack Obama stated on Larry King last night that it was 'unAmerican.'
Thus, The New Yorker cover continues to make headlines.
The thing that is so funny is that although the cover was meant to lampoon a few on the extreme right who have charged that Barack is a Muslim and Michelle is a terrorist, Obama stated on King's show that 'it is a slap in the face to moderate American Muslims.'
Pray tell, how?
Obviously, the man knows nothing about political satire, although the Left has called him 'one of the smartest men in the world.'
And as for Larry King, he just sits there and allows Barack to show his vast ignorance without challenge.

Muslims Against Sharia Slam Flight 93 Memorial
A group of moderate Muslims called 'Muslims Against Sharia' is bringing out the heavy artillery to blast those who are planning the United Flight 93 Memorial in Pennsylvania.
Incensed by the fact that Islamic symbols are being used in the memorial, Muslims Against Sharia says that a group of extremists have hijacked the building process in order to pay homage to terrorists.
And what is the basis for these claims? The Islamic symbols are being used in spite of the fact that there were NO Muslims on United Flight 93 except for the Jihadist terrorists who hijacked and were responsible for bringing down the plane.
Thus, why would Islamic symbols be a part of that memorial unless the group pushing for their inclusion were attempting to pay homage to the terrorists who died as a result of their own detestable activity?
Muslims Against Sharia is at the forefront of the fight to keep the Islamic symbols OUT of the Flight 93 Memorial. A special event has been organized at the memorial site to protest the inclusion of Muslim symbols.
The innocent victims who died in that crash deserve better. Why would ANYONE want to glorify their murderers?
In addition, moderate Muslims want no part of a memorial that glorifies those within Islam who murder, maim, and butcher.
The protest event will take place on August 2, 2008, in Somerset, Pennsylvania.

PAMELA GELLER RESPONDS TO ATTACKS
Almost from its inception, The Liberty Sphere blog has consistently linked to news alerts concerning the Jihad and the War on Terror, as provided by Pamela Geller at Atlas Shrugs--one of the top blogs in the nation.
Atlas Shrugs has been an invaluable source of information concerning the fight for the survival of the West. And Geller has proven herself to be a valiant and courageous soldier in this fight.
As with all who are willing to put their very lives on the line for the cause of truth, justice, and liberty, Geller has not been without her share of detractors and critics, which unfortunately include those who see her as such a threat to their subversive and dangerous agenda that they resort to personal attacks, smears, lawsuits, and even death threats.
This is to be expected given that the Jihadists and their sympathizers do not wish for the truth to be told and would love to see the public kept in the dark. An uninformed public is a sitting duck for the attacks of those who wish to destroy not only the fabric of freedom but the very existence of our country and way of life.
Thus, one thing should be made crystal clear--Pamela Geller is not a 'terrorist' simply because she fights terrorism with a passion that scares the true terrorists. She does not run a 'hate site' simply because she blogs about the twisted, insidious, and deadly world-view of Islamic extremists.
Some of those who make such charges brought their blather to this very blog in the comments section of an earlier post. Pamela Geller was kind and gracious enough to come here and give a direct response.
That response was important enough that I thought it merited a whole post unto itself.
Here is what Geller had to say about her beliefs, her goals, her objectives, and her heart:
This is precisely the way I have experienced Pamela Geller and Atlas Shrugs ever since I stumbled upon the blog about a year and a half ago. This is why there is a permanent link to the blog on the left sidebar. And this is why I was honored to have Pamela Geller come here to make a straightforward, clear statement of what motivates her to engage in this battle.
Make no mistake about it, Islamofascisim is a major threat to the freedom of speech, freedom of the Press, freedom of religion, and every other liberty associated with free societies. This is why Canada and much of Europe has succumbed to the dire and ominous moves to place restrictions on freedom of speech.
In nearly every instance, Islamofascism is the shadow-force behind the scenes that drives these restrictions on human liberty. Extremists under the guise of being 'moderate Muslims,' for example, were behind the trial of Mark Steyn and Mclean's Magazine in British Columbia.
For sure, there are many moderate Muslims in the world. But simply because someone says they are moderate does not necessarily make them moderate.
Atlas Shrugs exists to help us make the distinction.

Everything posted here is wrong. Utterly inaccurate. But hey am not surprised - its the leftist Islamic alliance propagating their memes.Muslims Against Sharia asked me to join them and to chair a committee who's objective is to make honor killing a capital crime. I was unaware of their group but thought what they wanted to do was admirable and important. Islam must be reformed from within. I love everyone that fights on the side of truth, justice and the American way. I fight the jihad and consider myself most fortunate to count amongst my friends Wafa Sultan, Ibn Warraq, Andrew Bostom, Youssef Ibrahim, Walid Phares, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Dr. Patrick Sookhdeo, Sam Solomon. I am against the coming holocaust against the Jews. I am against FGM, honor killings and the sub class citizenship of women in Islamic countries. I fight the jihad - that is my fight.To address your charges of racism and islamophobia is a canard. I can't prove a negative. It is obvious you do not read my blog or understand why I do what I do. I fight for the individual and the basic tenets of western civilization. You can avoid evil but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding evil.I and the folks that work with me intend to save America. You're either with us or against.

Obama's 'Stop the Smears' Website Angers Muslims
A group of moderate Muslims is calling for Barack Obama to remove negative references to the term 'Muslim' on his new website called 'Stop the Smears.' The candidate had started the website as part of his Internet rapid response effort to stop the so-called 'smears' and rumors about him that have been circulating around the Internet and the electorate.
The problem is that one of the main 'smears' listed on the site is the rumor/falsehood that 'Obama is a Muslim.' And herein is the root of the moderate Muslims' discontent.
It isn't that it is not true that many in the electorate believe Barack Obama to be a Muslim but that the website refers to that rumor/belief as a 'smear,' the connotation being that to be called a Muslim is tantamount to being libeled or defamed.
Thus, the moderate Muslim group, which calls itself 'Muslims Against Sharia,' is demanding that Obama remove from his website the inference that to be called a Muslim is a 'smear.'
This seems to be a reasonable request.
As the group states, most terrorists are Muslims but most Muslims are not terrorists. Most Muslims do not belong to the extremist Jihadist movement--the 'Islamofascist' segment-- within Islam. Terrorists come from this minority segment in the Muslim religion.
But for Obama to depict being falsely described as a Muslim as a 'smear' seems to indicate that the candidate has trouble differentiating between moderate Muslims and terrorists. If this is not the case, then the candidate has made a glaring error that portrays a shocking lack of forethought for someone who would be President.

PBS Doesn't Want You To See This Film!
Washington, DC (TLS). The Public Broadcasting Network has planned a mammoth series of films entitled, 'America At a Crossroads,' to be aired on Sunday evenings. The eleven-part series will focus on some of the most critical issues facing America today.
One segment, however, has been pulled by the network. It is the segment that deals with radical Islam.
PBS does not want you to see this film. Executives at the government-run network insist that the reason for pulling the segment is that it was 'disjointed,' 'sloppy,' and 'lacking in a distinctive plot.'
Media watchers, however, say that there is another reason.
PBS is apparently caving to the massive Muslim propaganda machine, headed by organizations such as CAIR, that clearly does not want American citizens exposed to the facts that differentiate extremist Muslims from those moderates who practice the Muslim religion but who are pro-Democracy and anti-Jihad.
PBS thus far denies such charges, but the denials have a hollow ring to them given the fact that CAIR and other front organizations for radical Islam have pressured everyone else in the media.
It is very hard to believe that PBS has escaped such pressure.
But instead of forging ahead with their rational approach to the subject, PBS decided to can it.
