    Good old ‘Sophisticated theology’ that pretends black is white when convenient!

  2. jean-françois+gauthier says:

    so when trump says that he doesn’t know who david duke is, after saying david duke is an awful individual, one is a strong hadith and one is a weak hadith. but which?

    (mentioning trump is godwin’s law’s best friend (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law).)

  3. This is clear proof that everything good in the west was copied from Muslims!

  4. Bruce says:

    …about as meaningful and ridiculous as debating how many angels can stand on the end of a pin. These theologians, eh. Such a waste of consciousness.

  5. pink+squirrel says:

    1] Are Trump’s rantings ‘holy’
    or perhaps Trump has a bifurcated brain

    2] So basically 99% of the quran and the hadith are weak

    3] and everything bad in the west was copied by daesh

    Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 52, Number 261.

    noticed the following after scrolling up for a moment

    Volume 4, Book 52, Number 185:

    Narrated Abdullah:

    Once the Prophet was offering the prayer in the shade of the Ka’ba. Abu Jahl and some Quraishi men sent somebody to bring the abdominal contents of a shecamel which had been slaughtered somewhere in Mecca, and when he brought them, they put them over the Prophet

    so covering Mo with the entrails/ womb of a camel is reasonable treatment of a ‘prophet ?

  7. Caroline Webb says:

    Very important question: Is Mohammed’s ‘kindness’ shown only to Muslims or to non-Muslims as well? If the Hadith only talk of Mohammed being kind to his followers, then it demonstrates the exclusionary, discriminatory and non-universal nature of Islam. I have not read the Hadith so do not know the answer to this question. Would be most interested to know as it is critical for understanding the psychology and morality being pushed by strident pro-Islam people.

  8. tfkreference says:

    I’ve read that all “people of the book” are to be respected (in an article about the Moors in Spain), but I don’t recall the details.

  9. Herman says:

    It is the typical “good” and “bad” of all the teachings of islam (quran as well as [a]hadith). In the quran some verses are nice to all people, others are terrifying for the infidels. The difference is basically between the peaceful meccan verses (when mohamed was a new prophet, no followers) and the later medinan verses (when he had a powerful gang of followers). The latter (medinan) abrogate the early meccan peaceful ones.

  10. Federico+R.+Bär says:

    Is this “strong” humor or “weak” humor? I wonder – during just a tenthousand of a split second.-

  11. Herman says:

    “people of the book” are to be respected
    Yes and no… once a mozlim army conquers a non mozlim country, the chief has a choice for the captives: (it’s the conqueror’s choice, not the vanquished ones)
    -kill
    -convert
    -or live as a dhimmi for the “people of the book” – which entails paying (extremely) high taxes [jyzzia] for ‘protection’ and living as a second class citizen.

    There is no mercy in islam for non-mozlims.

  12. Shaughn says:

    Bruce said March 9, 2016 at 4:13 pm: Such a waste of consciousness.

    What makes you think theologians are conscious anyway?

  13. David+Amies says:

    Before we jump into mocking Islam, the Prophet and the Haditha, we should acknowledge that Christianity and Judaism also plays games of casuistry. I am no advocate for any of them. All have twisted words for their own advantage. Today’s cartoon highlights this quite brilliantly.

  14. Matt says:

    Islamophobia!!!

  15. pink+squirrel says:

    a phobia is an irrational fear
    given that the goal of islam as a concept is ultimate world conquest [ regardless of how fervently actual muslims pursue that goal]
    it is not wholly irrational to be concerned

  16. Caroline, the Hadiths are awful, much worse than the Quran. Without them Islam would be about 100 x nicer.

  17. Holms says:

    “Basically… but it took years to smother it in obtuse langauge to make it less obvious!” – My read of Mo’s reply in panel four.

  18. Canneloni says:

    Whether a hadith is strong or weak is nothing to do with what it says about Mo, it’s to do with whether the hadith is considered to be believable or not.

    And since none of them were written down until about a hundred years after the death of Mo, the hadiths are actually the end product of the biggest game of Chinese Whispers ever played!

  19. jveeds says:

    Although I have to agree with Canneloni about “strong” and “weak” (which basically goes to the perceived trail of evidence back to the Prophet and his immediate Companions), nevertheless the latest Jesus & Mo cartoon is meant to convey a satirical point, not a historical one. We rarely hear a hadith about the Prophet’s preference in dates or toilet paper, just as we’re more likely to hear Christians remembering Jesus’s peace and love proclamations than his cursing of a fig tree or sending a poor farmer’s pigs over a cliff.

  20. John+Fargo says:

    “Before we jump into mocking Islam, the Prophet and the Haditha, we should acknowledge that Christianity and Judaism also plays games of casuistry.”

    SJW drivel. Why do we need to bring up the other two when mocking Islam? Can you add the links in your comments where XTians and Jews flew planes into buildings, beheaded someone or killed people over cartoons recently? There is plenty of comedic material available with Islam alone.

  21. Guys go to school for YEARS to learn how to do that highly sophisticated science.

    Yes guys specifically. It’s too sophisticated for girls.

  22. extro24 says:

    The best hadiths (Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim) have all the worst parts of Islam. Killing infidals, raping slave girls, killing apostates, pedophilia etc are all in the most authoratitive hadiths. ISIS gleefully quotes these hadiths to justify their own acts of rape, beheading, enslavement etc. It amazes me that people still try to see the “good” in Islam when it is far, far worse than the Mafia.

  23. pink+squirrel says:

    ‘Good’ hadith 1%
    ‘Bad’ Hadith 9%
    ‘Meaningless irrelevant dark age drivel’ hadith 90%

  24. hotrats says:

    I’ve hadith up to here.

  25. pink+squirrel says:

    We rarely hear a hadith about the Prophet’s preference in dates or toilet paper
    not quite true- from the hadith it is clear that mo never had toilet paper – only sand and gravel
    Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah (way peace he upon him) said: When anyone performs ablution he must clean his nose and when anyone wipes himself with pebbles (after answering the call of nature) he must do that odd number of times.
    oh yes and it also says that you must ‘only touch the penis with the left hand’

    Qur’an, Hadith and Scholars:Toilet Etiquette
    in web search supplies a whole list of rules and hadith concerning this topic

  26. pink+squirrel says:

    not quite true- from the hadith it is clear that mo never had toilet paper – only sand and gravel
    a web search for ‘Qur’an, Hadith and Scholars:Toilet Etiquette’
    supplies a whole list of rules and prohibitions
    including that men must never touch their penis with the right hand

  27. pink+squirrel says:

    apologies for repeating- my first comment did not show and then both appeared a few mins later

  28. drJohndeWipper says:

    including that men must never touch their penis with the right hand
    uhmm… Must mean awkward masturbation for righthanders.

  29. Alan Flynn says:

    How on earth can any Muslim, having read the Hadith in question, and being satisfied as to its authenticity, still proclaim this man as the supreme example for humanity?

  30. pink+squirrel says:

    Must mean awkward masturbation for righthanders.
    The quran/hadith give pronouncements on that too
    Mo it would appear had a keen interest in male and female genitalia

  31. Canneloni says:

    Alan Flynn said: How on earth can any Muslim, having read the Hadith in question, and being satisfied as to its authenticity, still proclaim this man as the supreme example for humanity?

    The answer, Alan, is that anyone daring to differ is committing blasphemy, for which the penalty is separation of head and body…

  32. pink+squirrel says:

    and if they don’t commit blasphemy, muslims suffer the penalty of separation of mind from thought

  33. aidni says:

    This is unrelated but I wanted some impartial opinions if nobody minded!
    I have religious friends who know I’m an atheist and to keep their friendship I refrain from making jokes as we already had a massive fight once before-is this right?
    Also-am I wasting my time? I took Philosophy and Ethics to actually learn about Philosophy but guess who’s looking at it all through the context of Christianity and occasionally Islam? I find it interesting but it isn’t what I wanted to do…

    Also Mo for your best friend’s sake would you stop being so damn inconsistent?! Great cartoon Author 🙂

  34. dr John de Wipper says:

    In my view, that depends how much effort you are prepared to invest. If you take one aspect at a time, and then split teh reli from the non-reli argumentation, and THEN look how much YOUR result differs from the official one. And if any, which result you prefer.
    Time consuming, but can be very rewarding. Success!

  35. dr John de Wipper says:

    Ahhh.
    FINALLY succeeded in getting my handle properly spaced!

  36. pink+squirrel says:

    Widen your circle of friends and then drop the delusional ones

    I took Philosophy and Ethics to actually learn about Philosophy but guess who’s looking at it all through the context of Christianity and occasionally Islam

    a] How did you not know this before enrolling -as you must have known something about the subject to get enrolled
    b] you can separate religion from ethics in your own viewpoint – but not from a course which studies them as they are closely related, ‘god’ being a philosophical construct

    Just as peace studies in Bradford mainly studies wars in order to understand them; ethics are important in such a course because religions tend to be virulently opposed to human ethics & rights.

    you could always try a subject transfer

  37. Amateur Venusian says:

    Aldni, philosophy is a complete waste of time, paper, effort and lives. All philosophers do is spend decades on the equivalent of arguing whether the naked female human teat is obscene or how many thoughts can dance on the top of a thumb-tack. They never solve issues, problems or anything else.
    You will produce far more fun for the planet drawing “Superman” comics than creating volumes of philosophy books.
    Philosophy is masturbation for elderly, intellectuals with erectile dysfunction.
    There are only two good aspects to philosophy, it occupies the attention of people who might otherwise disrupt society by being minor irritants and it isn’t so evil as religion – though it is just as useless.
    Actually, philosophy is far more useless than religion. Unlike religion, few philosophys give an excuse to rape and thieve and kill.

    Yes, I took philosophy at University, as a minor filler along with the Sciences and Mathematics.
    I was more impressed with Media Studies. 🙂

  38. Amateur+Venusian says:

    Aldni, have you looked at the jobs available to graduates with degrees in Philosophy? Philosophy lecturer or talking head on the BBC are about the limit. Unless you want a career stacking shelves in ASDA.
    At least with Graphics Arts, Media Studies or Business Management you could become upper management in banks, ITV, newspapers or even the BBC.

  39. Jerry+www says:

    Would you consider “I swear to god I’m an atheist” to be a self canceling phrase or an oxymoron? I’m just asking for my invisible friend who has identity issues.

  40. pink+squirrel says:

    jerry+www-
    depends whether the ‘god’ in question is a theistic type of ‘god’ or not

    I have faith that planet x will not destroy the earth. I can’t prove that planet x didn’t exist, but I’m very confident.

    Is it faith or is it scientific evidence? I think people that believe in planet x must present some evidence, so there no faith in thinking it didn’t exist.

    May I refer to the cover item od Scientific American of february 2016?
    No EVIDENCE yet, but pretty strong incications…

    @dr+John+de+Wipper
    It’s funny how skip the planet 9, and refer to it as X, as in 10, just like the Microsoft did with Windows. Is nine somehow bad word?

  44. Grumpy says:

    Hotrats: that was surah a good one.

  45. dr John de Wipper says:

    Actually, from the article, it was tantatively conjectured to exist, from orbit anomalies of varios Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs), and hence named “the big unknown”, “big” as in ~ 10 earth sizes, and in mathematics an unknown usually is named X.

  46. aidni says:

    Showing up late again but wanted to thank everyone for their comments! And no I didn’t know about the course as the teacher promised me it would be all about concepts of thymos, pathos, logos etc unfortunately. Also my friends are lovely and I don’t really mind hiding my beliefs as it’s not a massive factor of my life really but thanks for the tips 🙂 and yeah dropping p&e soon-but too late to transfer! So I’m going to put much effort in but to be fair it was just a qualification I took to learn about debate and human mind and stuff! Thanks all 🙂
