The Daily Show sent Asif Manvi to Murfreesboro the other day, and he interviewed a truly wacko woman who seemed to believe any bad thing she read about Muslims on the internet. She was apparently heading some community group working against some kind of expansion of a mosque.
Here, it’s the Perry County Gun Bash.

It ain’t over.
I’ve been an amateur vexillologist since I was a teenager - I have over 200 flags on the south wall of my basement not 3 feet from my head alone - and I don’t even know what the flag of Afghanistan was in September, 2001. Mainly because the government itself was in flux, there was the Taliban that was technically in control and their flag, and the previous flag that was also used by the Northern Alliance that was flying at the UN the day of the attacks on New York (since that government was the one recognized by the UN, not the Taliban).
Do churches in residential areas ring bells at early hours of Saturdays and Sundays?
Not that I am aware of. 
In Muslim countries, yes.
I’ve never heard any calls to prayer in the US, ever.
Thanks.
And Monty, Church bells before dawn would annoy me, too.
Huh. No kidding.
These folks are fucking idiots.
Yep, drove to Murfreesboro to work for quite a while. Daily show did a piece on the Mosque and interviewed the wacky anti Islam lady heading the protest. That and our “Have a Nice Day” candidate for governor doesn’t make us look to great.
This whole M’boro mosque thing makes me sad for fellow Tenneseans. 
Some of the same people who are fighting against the mosque are fairly civil to Muslims when working together. They do business everyday with them. But…during the protest and counter protests several weeks back, they did an ugly about face. Or maybe were just flaunting their bigotry when there were like-minded people to band with. Either way, they are the people who frighten me more than Muslim terrorists ever could.

Surely you exaggerate. They don’t want to kill you, they are just frightened and misinformed.
When I lived in Mannheim, Germany, my apartment was next to a church. Care to guess why I never needed an alarm clock?
Because of the Mannheim Steamroller?
Crazy Lady Threatened?
What a-muezzin joke.
Nothing specific about the nature of the threat. Maybe they threatened to read passages of the Koran, or the Constitution.
There is a Muslim Center with prayer rooms down the street from me. They only broadcast the evening call to prayer over a loud speaker. It isn’t that loud.
I live in Brooklyn NY.
