Wow…I had no idea it was that bizarre. So Donald Trump isn’t the first dictator to say that the rules and laws do not refer to him—except when some angle is to his advantage. When I see the Flaccid-Faced Orangutan giving speeches I always think he is another Mussolini—and now I can see he is another iteration of Mohammed.
I remember reading the part about guests not lingering with mundane fascination! I have to admit that it’s not necessarily a bad concept to convey though. As I recall, the reason was that people were dropping in on the prophet all the time, hanging out and causing distress for the women/woman of the household. But still…it hardly seems like the sort of super-critical info that Allah and his angel would need to make into a revelation. It’s more like one of those things that Mo thought up in a moment of aggravation and decided to ascribe to Jibril/Gabriel
A teacher, after showing a Charlie Hebdo drawing of Muhammad, in a class on freedom of speech, was decapitated for religious reasons, by an 18-yeast-old refugee.
Laripu. No teacher in Britain would do that. They would lose their job faster than if they stuck their hand up a school girls skirt….freedom of speak no longer exists in the islamic republic of Albion…
If you need to steer someone away from Islam, ask them to read the Koran as a history book. If you want to steer someone away from Christianity, ask them to read the history of organised Christianity.
S.O.G…Orangutan males quite often fight to the death and are extremely brutal. All primates are violent, especially the apex preditor homo sapiens… we can all kill given the right circumstances.. however, programming people to use that propensity for violence to further a religion is in fact religions major fault…especially islam…
M27Holts, you said ”freedom of speak no longer exists in the islamic republic of Albion”.
This is certainly not true. What is true is that you can’t say things your employer finds to be antithetical to profit. A person who is not employed can go to Brick Lane in London and yell “Mohammed is a pedophile!” without risking arrest.
So the restriction isn’t due to law.
Employers want to hire the most talented people, because talent is rare, and talent leads to profit. They know that if they have a reputation for hiring employees that are anti-X, then talented people of type X will avoid that employer. (Where X is any race, religion, gender, sexuality. The safest stance for employers to take is to fire anyone that’s hostile to any X.
That just shows a home truth no-one wants to acknowledge: money and power dictate what is commonly understood as morality.
Laripu. The police spend a lot of time investigating the crime of “Hate Speech” thus freedom to say what you like is curtailed by law…determining what is, and what isn’t hate speech is the real problem..Religion gives people a get out of jail free card in lots of areas, like chopping bits off infants genitals without recourse to law…
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

I hadn’t read 33:53 before. That’s exactly how I am with dinner party guests…are we sure Mohammed wasn’t just British?

Jesus F Iscariot: On behalf of all orangutans, I object to these harmless and rather adorable animals being likened to D J Trump!

So, in the final analysis, Mo is nothing more than a horny, self-involved, self-righteous egotist! Whoda thunk it? [darn near EVERYONE!]

@Deimos:
The Bible, properly read, is the most potent force for atheism yet invented.
— Isaac Asimov
Blasphemy
I don’t believe in blasphemy;
There’s simply no such thing to me.
A god, as far as I can see,
Would see the ugly irony.
Created it, in fact, I fail
To picture any ego frail
Behind whose name the angels sing;
The Lord of everything.
To take a life with said excuse:
He did my saviour’s name abuse,
And end a human violently…
Now that, my friend, is blasphemy.
