"Art School Mormon - I will never waver from the Provo party line while arguing for a southwestern twist on *Submission,* an American alliance of Bushwick and Utah to take the capitol by demographic storm."

"Intensely funny book. I didn't know what to make of it until about 3/4 of the way through after which almost every page was making me laugh. It's been panned in many polemic reviews as right wing, Islamaphobic, misogynistic - I didn't find it to be any of those at all."
