“They hate Jews, they hate Chrisitans, they hate women, they hate dogs,” Serain said. “[The idea of the new mosque] scares the daylights out of me.”

Still, Serafin insisted she’s no bigot.

“I want you to stress this — I’m not prejudiced,” Serafin told me. “I worked retail for nine years and I didn’t even know my manager was gay until someone told me. And when I found out, I didn’t care.”

“They hate song,” she said of Muslims. “So we’re going to sing patriotic songs, Christian songs.”

“God Bless America will be one,” Serafin added.

No words.

Gee, I guess this means now I’m going to have to:

1) Get rid of my iPod and start screaming & cursing next time I hear God Bless America or The Star-Spangled Banner

2) Stop liking SFZ, Obdi, Bob, and all my RL Jewish friends

3) Take that Maimonides book out of my Amazon shopping cart

4) Stop liking Cato, Reine, Irenicum, Ace, and all my RL Christian friends & relatives

5) Kick every dog I come across

6) Figure out how, as a woman, I can manage to function while hating myself; I guess I should also inform my ex-husband and all the other Muslim men I know that it’s compulsory that they hate me as well

I’ll bet we hate Santa, the Easter Bunny, and the tooth fairy too. And kittens. And… I hope these people don’t make up any more new rules, because I don’t know if I can fit all that hating into 24 short hours. /
