UPDATE: Pamela Geller has additional information:
UPDATE: On July 8, Colorado Governor John W. Hickenlooper issued an executive order that actually did
lift the statewide fireworks ban: “I hereby rescind Executive Order D 2012-015. This
Executive Order rescinds the state-wide ban on open burning, including
campfires, warming fires, charcoal grill fires, fused explosives, and
FIREWORKS.” See it here. He had issued the ban in an earlier executive
order on June 14. This meant that Coloradans could not shoot off
fireworks on July 4, but Muslims could at the end of Ramadan. And why
did the police officers below not know that the ban had been lifted? Was
it their malfeasance, or was the lifting of the ban not publicized for
some reason, except to special groups?

A statewide ban on fireworks is not a statewide ban on fireworks when Muslims are setting them off. To enforce the ban would be “Islamophobic,” doncha know.
“Sharia in Colorado: Special accommodations for a special class, Muslims,” from Pamela Geller at Atlas Shrugs, August 21:
Once again we see special rules for Muslims in accordance with
the sharia and Islamic supremacism. Anywhere American law and Islamic law
conflict, it is American law that has to give way. Check this out from Atlas reader Chris:Very few are talking about it here in Denver Colorado. American citizens were banned from celebrating our national birthday the Fourth of July. Fireworks were and are still banned unless it was to celebrate the end of Ramadan. I have asked several police officers what the huge fireworks show was and they replied that it was the local Islamic center celebrating. I then asked if the statewide ban on fireworks was still in effect and they said yes. So logically I asked did they have a permit for such a large display. The answer was no and that the police were not to respond to calls about it.
