Governor Bredsen is being criticized for sending out a Christmas card featuring the image of a Muslim woman. Horrors!
Damn it! We only want Christians on our Christmas cards, as one rightwing blogger more or less put it.
As if that's not bad enough, a spokesman for the Islamic Center of Nashville is displeased by the Governor's failure to properly cover up the woman's head.
When your conservative Governor is criticized for his choice of Christmas cards, you could say these are the crazy times.
The card's cover is a print of a painting by the governor of a young woman he met when he toured Afghanistan in March.
"May the peace and joy of this Christmas season be with you and your loved ones throughout the coming year," the card reads. "While it may seem odd to put a portrait of a young Muslim woman on a Christmas card, this Season reminds us that He loves His children most of all," Bredesen stated on the back of the card. . . The back of the card closes with, "May the miracle of Christmas help bring peace to this young woman and her wounded land."
