NASHVILLE, Tenn. - She's best known for her satirical comedy on Saturday Night Live. Twenty years after leaving the hit show, Victoria Jackson is back in the spotlight, but this time it's for her political views.
She's now a controversial conservative commentator and she's in Middle Tennessee taking a critical look at the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro.
Victoria Jackson is best known for her dim-witted characters on Saturday Night live which brought her a lot of laughs, and fame. (lol rite.) She now works as a citizen journalist.
"I'm trying to use my fading SNL fame to shine a light on the topic that nobody in the media will talk about," said Jackson.
That topic is Islam. Jackson came to Middle Tennessee to produce a story on the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro and its new mosque now under construction. The comic-turned- conservative political activist doesn't mince words about why she thinks this building is rising in the middle of rural Tennessee.
"This is the Bible Belt, and Murfreesboro is the buckle on the bible belt. And it's a college town. So my feeling is they came here to convert people to Islam," said Jackson.
Jackson brought her camera to the current Islamic Center offices in Murfreesboro -- but no one was available for an interview. No luck either at the construction site just outside town.
Jackson did recently interview Congressional candidate Lou Ann Zelenik for her story. Zelenik has been an outspoken opponent of the mosque. Jackson claims there's a fatwa , or Islamic decree ,calling for her death because of her criticisms.
"I tolerate all religions. Except the ones that want to kill me," said Jackson.
Jackson plans to post her story on the conservative web site Patriot Update.

Just when you think there's no SNL alum less likable or more prejudiced than Chevy, Victoria pops up to prove you wrong. Nice of her, tbh.

GAH why is everybody convinced that every Muslim in the world is gunning to murder
white folksnon-Muslims?Also, because scaring people (regarding Islam, the poor, etc) is Fox New's cash cow.
But this woman is saying she is being persecuted because she is a Christian, and it is my understanding that Muslims expressly acknowledge Christians and Jews as being "people of the book" whose belief system is compatible with their own. So her whole notion that they're moving to the Bible Belt to convert everyone and attack people like her doesn't hold much water so far as I can see.
I just watched her idiocy on this
THEN I DISCOVERED POLITICHICKS!!
I'm speechless after watching 1 episode of Politichicks.
muslim brotherhood? REALLY?
and the fact that these idiots associate it with race shld be hint enough
plus that guy who went on a shooting spree in poland or wherever did it because he was an extreme christian who hated muslims. but of course he was just a psycho one-off case while obviously ALL muslims are terrorists. smh
But yes, there's a long history of crazy nutter killers who at least nominally identify as Christian and might use the word "God" freely, not to mention plenty of otherwise ordinary folks who become psychotic and have religious delusions about God and Jesus, but for some reason THEY are just one-off mad people, whereas if they used the word "Allah" that would make them extremists perpetrating the evil Islamic agenda.
Everything these racist and GOP members preach about would turn Jesus off.
dying
Even as a phonetic approximation it doesn't really work either.
let's say I've downloaded books onto my pc from one of those torrent sites. And it's .mobi or .epub. Can I upload those onto my kobo? or do I have to buy all the books I read on kobo?
