Rantings of a New Yorker

These woman are absolutely crazy.

Victoria Jackson doesn’t get why liberals are pro-Muslim because Muslims are supposed to kill gays. Maybe she should go read her bible and see just how much her religion matches up with Islam. All she knows is “what she heard” about how the Muslims do things. She seriously gets upset because some Muslims who work at a meat factory they say Allahu Akbar (God is Great) and they say the same thing just before they kill people.

Please lady, this is said in many different contexts, including during prayer. I think you’re more afraid of the “scary Arabic words” than what some poor shlub killing cows for you to eat is actually saying.

They’re also afraid of sharia law in the United States. Yeah, it’s such an epidemic that we all should be upset. Why have they not been complaining about Halakha in the United States then? I’m not condoning either practice, but if you’re going to condemn one, you have to condemn the other.

Who gives a fuck if they wash each others’ feet? This isn’t strictly a Muslim practice. Christians and Jews do it too. These women are fear mongering simply because they don’t understand another religion.

Can we also stop with the bullshit that America was founded on Christian principles? It wasn’t. It’s a republican talking point. The First Amendment to the Constitution establishes this fact. Please go learn some history first.

Victoria Jackson also says, “My dad says we’re all lucky that Muslims are lukewarm or else we’d all be dead.” Maybe you should check out the history of your religion as well. Crusades. Spanish Inquisition.

Another gem is, “Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims. It’s just a fact.” No, it’s not a fact. There are many terrorists who are not Muslim. Have you ever heard of Northern Ireland? How about a man named Timothy McVeigh? You are an ignoramus who doesn’t seem to understand what a terrorist is or that they can be of any race or religion.

“I love Muslims. I just hate their religion and what it stands for.”

It seems these Christian women have just changed over from not hating gays to not hating Muslims. Victoria Jackson then goes on to point out that this is America and she should be allowed to say what she believes in. I guess she believes that America is just not for anyone not Christian. Say what you believe in, so long as it adheres to the Christian faith.

These women do not even know what happened in the political scene considering gay marriage in California. They haven’t bothered to check that numerous religious groups, the largest being the Mormons, pumped money into the state to get Prop 8 passed. It wasn’t a fair fight. Even then, it wasn’t passed by a large majority. It was then ruled unconstitutional and its legality is still up in the air as everyone awaits the final outcome of the case.

If she thinks that gay marriage is an intrusion by the government, then it should also be an intrusion for heterosexual marriage. If your church doesn’t approve of gay marriage, then people will just go to city hall and get married. No one has ever said that the church would be forced to perform gay marriages.

“If I have a photography studio and I don’t necessarily want to photograph someone else’s homosexual marriage, in some states that’s a problem.”

Well, let’s just change this up a little, shall we? “If I have a photography studio and I don’t necessarily want to photograph someone else’s black marriage, in some states that’s a problem.” You see?

These women are doing nothing but preaching hate. These are the types of people you should be worried about, not someone saying Allahu Akbar before they slaughter an animal.

A YouTube commenter said:

There are two possibilities here. One is that Victoria Jackson is a comedic performance artist on the level of Andy Kauffman and she is having a go at the Christian right. The other is that she is very, very dumb.

I really, really, hope that Victoria Jackson is on the same level as Andy Kauffman. Unfortunately, I think she’s just another dumb, ill-informed Christian.
