Anti-Islam Activists Are Freaking Out About Crayons Now

Anti-Shariah activists have a new target in their sights: Crayola. Late last week the Pickens County (Ga.) Republican party posted a call to action on its website about a new promotion from the world's leading crayon manufacturer, which had begun offering free Islamic-themed coloring pages in honor of Ramadan.

They are complaining because there is no picture of the Bible.

I would speak in the most ridiculous, stereotypical Middle Eastern accent I could and say, "Oh, praise be to Allah, there is no crayon jihad happening as you believe sir. Have a good Ramadan."

You could probably get a few heads to explode.

"That so, Ed? You had a rough day, you say? I was on the phone for three hours with a woman who was convinced that the TV static was reciting Muslim prayers. Three hours, Ed. What'd I do? Well, I asked her if it was facing towards the East, Ed. Turns out the damn thing was, so I told her, turn the TV around, it'll stop. You know what she told me, Ed? You know what this woman told me? She told me it would disrupt the feng shui of her living room, Ed."
