There's rightwing conspiracies about Islam being a lunar cult, so all we need is the "ninja" part

There's a couple of clever clues you see. You may notice that Islam uses a crescent moon as their symbol. As a white guy from Mississippi, I have cunningly figured out that this represents the moon. Which means that they worship the moon, just like us X-tians worship the cross.
Liberals will try to convince you that Muslims summoning the moon to crush us all in a big ritual is of no concern
