Nor about the sexual orientation of one of them. Also I am mystified as to why I can’t find anything newer than 1998 for info about the numbers of Muslim lords.
Hey she forgot one – why don’t they write an opinion piece for the Times or the Telegraph or the Guardian or the Independent or the New Statesman? Why don’t they do a Thought for the Day? Why don’t they get a job with the BBC’s ‘Ethics and Religion’ section? Why don’t they flog a series on ‘Christianity and Islam: Co-operating at Last’ or ‘Secularism: the Universal Foe’ to Radio 4? Why don’t they go on ‘Nightwaves’ to chat with Madeleine Bunting or Karen Armstrong? Why don’t they do a dialogue with Terry Eagleton?
When I was at university in the 80’s, the Catholic Society, Islamic Society, Chritian Union etc were “Student Union Societies” with exactly the same status, funding and representation as Greenpeace, Volleyball Club and the Star Wars Appreciation Society. Which seems to me about right. There is no accounting for taste, but vigorously appreciated hobbies add to The Rich Tapestry of Life and are to be encouraged. But don’t give some of them extra money, a monopoly on respect or a veto on university policy.
Can it be that the pope is about to make a guest appearance here? Clever use of a body double would surely mean that the holey see will be unable to defend their copyright.
Jesus & Mo (the characters) are absurd, blinkered, and oddly very sweet. J&M (the cartoon) is brilliant: sharp, delicious, irresistible. Salman Rushdie
Jesus and Mo cartoons are wonderfully funny and true. Richard Dawkins
Jesus and Mo make the world a better place, bless their little hearts. Ophelia Benson
In a world defined by outrage and offence and liberal spinelessness, Jesus and Mo is a treasure, whose value we should never fail to recognize. Read them. Laugh. And think. Kenan Malik
The brilliant, celebrated, freaking hilarious atheist comic strip ... Greta Christina
...rays of sanity in a befuddled world. Keri Hulme
The liveliest depictions of Muhammad currently available... Malise Ruthven
J & Mo is the funniest and most consistently thought-provoking cartoon strip on the Net. In a saner world, it would run in a major newspaper. Nelson Jones, Heresy Corner
Consistently amusing, frequently thought-provoking and often heart-warming. New Humanist
Jesus & Mo is one of the most wonderful things on the internet.. JT Eberhard
Wittily captures much of the absurdity of religious apologetics. Mano Singham
I love jesusandmo.net cartoons - witty and sharp! Katha Pollitt
Often hilarious, frequently wry, these cartoons do what all the best cartoons do: they tell the truth through humour. Terry Sanderson, NSS President
...a wonderfully acid British cartoonist... Nick Cohen
I love the scrappy mockery of Jesus and Mo. Freedom of speech
includes the freedom to mock any person, any thing, any activity, and
any belief -- and J&M stands up for this unflinchingly Richard Stallman
...empowering, important and deeply progressive, not to mention hilarious... Council of Ex-Muslims

Who knew that Barmaid was on the side of angels?
Exactly the thoughts that went through my mind, surfing on an ocean of bile..
EM, Yes, our side!
Great one! Gotta love Barmaid’s subtle sarcasm here.
I love the barmaid’s sense of sarcasm. She’s the best 🙂
Oh barmaid, barmaid, when will you learn – religious people’s irony meters are notoriously selective…
26 out of 724 is marginal for the Church of England, Mo doesn’t comment on how marginal the amount of Muslim lords is.

I love how barmaid leads them down the garden path and they don’t see it or quite realize the obvious right in front of their faces.

Not to mention the Queen being head of the Church of England, I’m sure she’d listen to at least one of them…
Oh yes good point, and if she wouldn’t Choss certainly would – he wants to be defender of the faiths, the dear man.
Only when they lower them, will their eyes open.
They know, save the truth.

Only when they lower them to their final resting place will they know.
They know, save the truth.

It approaches 🙂
I think it is time for a Secular Republic of England

I’d like to pontificate but I fear it’s no longer the right thing to do
This story should be of interest to JaMers. Iranian men wearing headscarves in solidarity with a political dissident who has been “humiliated” by being dressed as a female in public by the authorities. Where to start with this one? At the very least the idea that covering up of women in Iran shows them respect is holed below the water-line by this action.
