So, given that Allah, like Yahweh, is a control freak that monitors and punishes his believers’ every wayward thought and deed; we should be able to conclude that there are a lot of people in Pakistan that don’t actually believe the line the Imams are handing them.
Just as the internet gives privacy to those who would defy the strictures imposed on their sexual behaviour by mosque and church, it also allows those who doubt to find the words and examples of fellow non-believers and not have to risk public exposure of their apostasy.
I’m squicking myself out, just a little, thinking that I share something in common with many of these Google searchers. Atheism, that is.
Hey, maybe they’re doing it for farming purposes! Like research… or something…
No, but seriously, as funny as it is, it doesn’t seem right, considering the overwhelming prominence and the fact that there seems to be no correspondence with either the cities or the languages.
See, if you search for animal/dog/horse *porn* (an arguably more damning term than sex), you start getting Finland, Norway, Turkey as main offenders (with their cities/languages high on the list too), and for “bestiality” South Africa and Czech republic rise to prominence (though no associated cities/language for the former somehow).
There definitely seems to be something iffy with the Pakistan case.
The Muslim response: …”…the creator is all knowing. Therefor, he foresaw our insatiable lust for animal poon. And since we have not been punished….. Allah wants us to fuck animals”
I stumbled upon this strip randomly one day, and I read it front to back. It is exactly what people need…if they wanted to read it… instead of roast your ass on every 6 o clock news from here to the Vatican
I’ve always heard that the reason for wearing kilts in Scotland was that sheep could hear a zipper at a distance of 50 meters.
As far as for us here in the U.S., we can’t even think about using that noisy Velcro stuff, except maybe in priestly garb since the church organ (not the priest’s organ) sound would obscure it.

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

You are being naughty now!
You forgot elephant sex. And what’s up with Spain being the #1 for infidels?
It would appear that the UK has moved on to face sitting. Definitely an improvement.
Meanwhile, in the Czech Republic, the worrying fisting trend continues.
See, I would have thought NZ for ‘sheep’ sex. Thanks for continuing to risk your Karma by ridiculing idiots. (snicker)
No Norfolk? They must be number one for something…
Hahaha ๐ Brilliant… And I thought it was just something they made up, until I checked the Google Trends. Fact is stranger than fiction.
Go Pakistan!

Even ‘children sex’ and ‘sex with children are very revealing…

What about octopus sex?
Search “incest sex” and prepare *not* to be surprised. It’s so strange, I’m almost starting to feel it’s a prank(more like a conspiracy, I guess).

BTW, New Zealand seems to have a thing for eels…
Hmm – wander why Switzerland tops it for “bondage”?
@Ferrous Patella
Apparently the Aussies are leading the way with that.

The pig is a surprise. I’d expect Mo to be more upset and the haram-ness of it.
well, we always hate in others what we are in our deepest heart
‘What about octopus sex?’
According to Pharyngula, that would be the US.
I blame PZ himself – he keeps publishing all those damn sexy pics of cephalapods.
In Norway you can get arrested by the Police for having sex with animal.
I wonder if the trend is due to the men or the women.
Now you’ve done it. The Pakistani’s will discover Jesus and Mo. Looking for porn, finding blasphemy…..
โWhat about octopus sex?โ
Well, squid sex is curiously popular in indonesia.

I Have to agree with Headbang. I wouldn’t consider this systematic yet. Still loved Mos reaction though. Filthy Infidels indeed.

BRILLIANT!
