St. Peter’s Church, “the Jazz Church,” regularly holds Jazz Vespers, and was even the site of the funeral of the towering jazz saxophonist John Coltrane (at the funeral other jazz giants, Albert Ayler and Ornette Coleman, performed). In stark contradiction (although they wouldn’t think so) to its celebration of America’s greatest indigenous art form, it is also, unfortunately, an epicenter of Leftist agitprop: this event for Lynne Stewart is being announced at the hard-Left Popular Resistance site. These America-hating Leftists are excited to honor Lynne Stewart, who was recently freed from prison early after serving part of a ten-year sentence for passing messages to and from the supporters of her client, the Blind Sheikh, Omar Abdel Rahman.
Sheikh Omar, aka The Blind Sheikh, is currently serving a life sentence in prison in North Carolina for his role in plotting the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, as well as for planning to bomb other New York City landmarks, including the Lincoln and Holland Tunnels. He had piously hoped to murder 100,000 people in the Tunnel bombings and 250,000 in the World Trade Center attack. Earlier, in Egypt, he had been charged, although not convicted, of issuing a fatwa calling for the murder of Anwar Sadat for making peace with Israel.
Apparently all that is just fine with the good people (who are convinced of their moral superiority) at Popular Resistance and the Jazz Church. Apparently Jazz Church officials don’t think they would have been among those the Blind Sheikh would have murdered had his plots been successful.
If Lynne Stewart had been in prison for passing notes to and from the maker of the Muhammad video that Obama Administration officials falsely blamed for the Benghazi jihad attacks, do you think the Jazz Church would be feting her? I don’t either.

(619 Lexington Ave @ 54th St)Event Website: http://blackagendareport.com/content/feb-14-2014-evening-song-celebration-lynne-stewart
Come to an evening of music, song and sharing love for recently released People’s Lawyer Lynne Stewart. Because of a determined people’s movement, Lynne is finally home with her family. But she has urgent medical needs and costs. Lynne’s Stage 4 breast cancer spread a year ago to both lungs, back, bones, and lymph nodes. Now 74, she has lost weight and has trouble breathing; doctors estimate her lifespan at 12 months. Lynne will soon begin treatment requiring her to pay deductibles and co-payments. To boost the odds, she’ll use a special diet, vitamins, and other healing methods – some costly and none covered by insurance.

Lynne’s spirit is indomitable – help her fight to survive!
“I fought lions, I fought tigers, and I’m not going to let cancer get me,” Stewart said.
Lynne has always come to the aid of those who needed her. Now it’s our turn to stand by Lynne.

If these people hate America so much why they then leave and live in Iran/Saudi Arabia/ Pakistan…… M
Jon Sobieski says
They would much rather stay here and destroy America. This only proves how corrupt many churches have become. Are they complaining about their Obamacare deductibles now? LOL
Kepha says
I’d rather they relocated to North Korea. Maybe they can help feed the liberated peasantry there the next time [man-made] famine hits there.

“The plan was that if the bomb truck was parked at the right place, the North Tower would fall onto the South Tower, collapsing them both. However, the tower did not collapse, according to Yousef’s plan, but the garage was severely damaged in the explosion. Nevertheless, had the van been parked closer to the WTC’s poured concrete foundations, Yousef’s plan might have succeeded.”
Diane Harvey says
In all sincerity to Lynne Steward – what will “boost her odds” would be an acceptance of the perfect sacrifice of Christ in atonement for sin, a stain that covers each of us. This substitutional sacrifice is offered to each and every one of us. All we have to do is reach out and take the gift.
“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.”
Lynne, open that door. For yourself.
JimJFox says
Yep the poor deluded sick woman is being punished for her original sin, as you say. What a bastard that god of yours is, eh??

Show me where Diane Harvey said that?

I hope it’s not lost on anyone that the love being shown towards Ms. Stewart is coming from a Christian church….and not from a mosque. The woman is dying from cancer with only about a year left to live. I won’t criticize anyone for showing compassion for the sick and the dying. I wish her strength and courage in her fight against cancer. I know how difficult it is because someone in my family recently lost his battle against the disease. I hope she finds peace of mind before she dies…and that perhaps that God may even grant her the miracle of a remission or a cure. There is always hope…..even the thief, Dismas, stole Paradise at the last moment while on the cross next to Christ. Now…..I wonder if there are there any plans for a similar evening of music, song and sharing of love toward her at a mosque somewhere.
WVinMN says
This bitch aided and abetted a MASS MURDERER and remains unrepentant to this day! And you wish her “peace”? WTF is wrong with you!

From the link…
This jihad-coddling grandmother remains defiant. She called 9/11 an “armed struggle.” Upon her initial sentencing, she boasted that she could serve the term “standing on her head.” After she was convicted of aiding and abetting Rahman, she told an interviewer she “would do it again.” She has repeatedly told liberal sycophantic journalists that she would not have done anything differently.
Screw her and screw you!
CogitoErgoSum says
Yeah…..and I would wish the same for you if you were dying of cancer. I hope you never have to experience it. I’m not passing any judgment on her. I’ll leave that to a higher authority…….like you I guess. WTF yourself.
CogitoErgoSum says
Upon further reflection, let me add that I regret ending my previous comment with WTF as part of it. I dislike using vulgarity, even shortcuts and acronyms for such language. I’m not advocating censorship so if you want to say, “Screw you” or whatever to me go right ahead….that’s up to you. I realize Lynne Stewart’s actions have been outrageous but I’m still not going to wish death by cancer upon her or anybody else. My hope remains that she finds her way to true peace of mind through her struggle with the cancer eating away at her….both physical and spiritual it would seem. I previously mentioned the good thief, known through tradition as Dismas, to show that there is hope for all of us even until the last breath…..including me, you and Lynne Stewart. See Luke 23:39-43. Make of it what you will.

“Lynne Stewart, who was recently freed from prison early after serving part of a ten-year sentence…”
No doubt a commutation urged and oiled by Obama’s Attorey General, Eric Holder.
john spielman says
this church and Lynn Stewart herself are more blind than the “blind sheik” Lynn and this so called church are clue less about the real truth, as Lynn will find out when she loses her earthly fight (as we all will) and stands before God. They will find out they were on the wrong side in enabling and supporting Satan’s work, not the Lord’s!
JimJFox says
Can’t understand this god-bothering rubbish. How come the Almighty One tolerates Satan’s existence? Could have popped him, easy if He’d wanted.
Satan gets a bad press. But then Dog needs SOMEONE to blame…
WVinMN says
If you wan’t to come off as the “uber sophisticated” atheist, you should at least be familiar with those you wan’t to disparage.
eib says
The answers to your questions are in a detailed study of theology, soteriology, and the history of religions.
Your bitter dismissal of religious claims and desire to prove a negative don’t help you come off as intelligent in yourself.
You sound more bitter than anything else.
Just study the structures of religion and their function in history, ancient, medieval, early modern to the present.
You’ll be surprised by what you find.
TS says
It may catch up to the one day. Sooner than they think. They feel immune to Islamic terror, but it doesn’t discriminate as we see all over the world today.
RickeyG says
What? Her treatment is not covered by insurance? Oh, the horror! She should go to healthcare.gov to remedy that situation!
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Lynne is an overweight convicted felon with terminal cancer. But that ain’t all: she’s also a traitor, and a total dumbass when it comes to religious belief systems. Her only saving grace is she’s one very purty woman. My guess is she got through life by relying on that pretty face of hers.
Champ says

Are they kidding? Is this a joke? I had to read it twice to be sure!
She’s a traitor, and I’m sorry that she has cancer and expenses, but c’mon this event goes beyond the pale and on sooo many levels.
jackdiamond says
It isn’t just about people who might have been murdered from his plots.
The notes Lynne Stewart passed led to murder. They were to the Islamic Group in Egypt announcing the end to the cease fire with the Egyptian government, leading directly to violence such as the bombings that killed 34 in Taba in 2004 and 64 at a Red Sea resort in 2005.
She leaked the fatwa from the Blind Sheikh sanctioning 9/11 itself.
“A fatwa of the captive Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman … To all Muslims everywhere: Destroy their countries. Tear them to pieces. Destroy their economies, burn their corporations, destroy their businesses, sink their ships, and bring down their airplanes. Kill them in the sea, on land, and in the air.” The fatwa was signed, “Your brother Abdel Rahman, from inside American prisons.” It was the first by a religious scholar calling for attacks inside America and led directly to 9/11. –Peter Bergen
She is an accomplice.
Bill C. says
Proper judgement and payment for her acts is not far away. Hope she enjoys her jazz, “prayer” and food while she can.
JimJFox says
On second thoughts, maybe Divine Justice does exist.
Kepha says
@JimJFox
But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance (II Peter 3:8-9–since the event’s at St. Peter’s church).
Maybe the Lord is waiting on you and me.
@Diane Harvey
Amen.
dumbledoresarmy says
Yep.
The TaNaKh says – and that’s the *Old Testament* that everyone these days loves to caricature as full of vengefulness, etc – that the Lord, Adonai, YHWH, does not desire that the wicked should perish, but rather that they should *turn* from their wickedness, and *live*.
And the terrible truth – rather hard for some to accept, perhaps; it is perhaps the aspect of classic Christianity that many – especially those who are clever, and ordinarily virtuous, and well-brought up, “nice” people – find very, very hard to accept – is that if people like this woman, despite the appalling mess they have made of their lives, repent of their assorted sins and at the very, very last moment of their earthly life throw themselves upon the mercy of God, they will live in His presence just as surely and gloriously as many a dear old saint who never put a foot wrong whether socially, legally, religiously or politically, throughout the whole of their lives.
Kepha says
DDA, glad you stand up for the good Old Testament.
After seeing so many years of people thinking they’re intelligent if they kick the Tanakh, how can we wonder why there’s still anti-Semitism?
Kepha says
And, Sister DDA, I’ll bet you, like me, know people who scoff at you because you’ve taken the time to read the Prophet Ezekiel.
dumbledoresarmy says
I rather like Ezekiel. I think perhaps my favourite chapter is no 37.
Jakareh says
I bet Lynn Stewart will be around for years.
eib says
The reform tendency, where it is not questioned by orthodoxy, is a canker worm on the body politic, and on the individual.
This woman is a great example of how a good intellect can turn to self-righteous zealotry for the sake of the stranger whom history has delineated an enemy.
Because she dreads her own tradition and people, she adopts nothing and thereby becomes nothing and yet claims everything. It is a directionless place, an absurd place, from which to think.
TeeNtheWildlife says
I feared this was an Episcopal church but it is Lutheran. The congregation and it’s leaders should be ashamed! Let this be done at some notorious NYC mosque instead!
John Stefan Obeda says
TeeNthewildlife Yes, sorry to say, St. Peter Church in New York on 619 Lexington Ave is “Lutheran”. I put the word into quotation marks because it belongs to the synod of Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) which a few years ago the synod of the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod (LC-MS) declared it to no longer be Lutheran because it no longer officially holds to the teachings of Scripture. But you know, there are misnomers all over the place when people no longer want to hold on to the truths of Scripture.
Righteous Reverend Dynamite! says
Why could not she get treatment at the local Federal prison hospital or the one up in Rochester, MN where the Blink Skiehk was being treated in the 1990’s during the trial for his diabetes? With stage IV cancer, it is just following algorithms anyways, treatment wise and then hospice care. The prison doctors could always just Skype or teleconference with Sloan-Kettering or Bethesda if they had questions. There is no need for her to go to perhaps one of the best cancer clinics in the entire world and take up a slot that a more worthy patient could have had the opportunity to fill. This is especially so after she mocked her first sentence (which even she knew was even less than a slap on the wrist) by saying that she could do it “standing on my head”. She is now back in the town in lived all of the victims of both WTC bombings!! I hope the GOOD CITIZENS of NYC will do what they need to do to publicize and disrupt her Lil’ Gala at St. Peter’s. Hopefully, the NYFD will make her know that they don’t put up with prideful, vain, marxist, seditious, annoying-as-f–k, little poops like her (and her oddball family). If I were her oncologist at Sloan-Kettering, I would have no problem refusing to see her due to freedom of conscience rules (e.g. A Black or Jewish MD have the right to not treat a Klansman or Neo-Nazi if it is not an extreme emergency).
Jan says
She’ll be just like Megrahi.
Live on for years, whilst thumbing her nose at decent people. Faugh.
Sootys mum says
You don’t have to be a nut case to support Muslim terrorist supporters but it does help. Many extremist Churches have absolutely no idea about religion or understanding of right or wrong unless they decide it. It’s just a shame that the right or wrong that they decide has little to do with reality or real right or wrong!
