Catherine Crabill on Muslim Prayer to House of Delegates: "Just say NO to this blasphemy!"

I may just make this a regular feature of Blue Virginia: "It's not just crazy, it's 1st CD (Republican? Tea Party?) candidate (well, maybe) Catherine Crabill Crazy!!!" Here's the latest from her Facebook page, in reaction to this article in today's Washington Post ("Boycott urged for Muslim imam's prayer in Virginia House"). Take it away - far, far away! - Catherine "Bullet Box" Crabill!

Again, this is a Christian Nation that extends grace to people of other faith's that are not reciprocated to Christians. Just say NO to this blasphemy! Islam is the enemy of liberty, period.

I reject Muslim's offering prayers sanctified by any branch or office of our government. The Koran is the antithesis of liberty. And because of the Christianity of our nation you Muslims have been offered a refuge here that we would NEVER be offered in your world. Please respect OUR faith and OUR heritage just as you would NEVER allow a Christian or Jew to pray in your mosque or place of government which does not offend me.

Hey Switzerland, Now Can You Please Ban Yodeling?

/begin snark

Now that the Swiss teabaggers Islamophobic bigots people, in their infinite (lack of) wisdom, have voted to ban minarets at mosques in their country, I've got a suggestion for them: ban the incredibly annoying form of "singing" known as "yodeling". How bad is yodeling? Watch this and decide for yourself if it should be banned.

P.S. All snarkiness aside, this vote by Switzerland is utterly pathetic and a frightening sign of right-wing extremism in Europe.

Will Pat Robertson's Manchurian Candidate Break with Pat Robertson?

We'll find out.

Fresh off his landslide victory in the race for Virginia governor, Robert F. McDonnell is already being forced to confront how he plans to handle his friendship with minister Pat Robertson, a longtime ally but also a highly controversial figure, once he takes office.

Virginia Muslims are calling on McDonnell (R) to disavow comments made by the Virginia Beach religious broadcaster last week in response to the shootings at Fort Hood, Tex., in which Robertson asserted that Islam is "not a religion" but a "violent political system" and that those who practice it should be treated like members of a communist or fascist party.

And for all the Islamophobic trolls out there, before you come here and defend Pat Robertson, just imagine if a Muslim leader with close ties to Governor Kaine made the same comment about Christianity. How would you be reacting? Think about it.
