In today’s Jesus and Mo strip, called “crap,” Mo admits, under pressure from both Jesus and the bartender, that the Qur’an is “crap.” And if you read it, as I have, you may come to agreement with the man below, who supposedly transcribed it.
Jesus ‘n’ Mo ‘n’ the Qur’an

It ain’t those parts of the Bible that I can’t understand that bother me, it is the parts that I do understand.
The Bible has noble poetry in it… and some good morals and a wealth of obscenity, and upwards of a thousand lies.
You believe in a book that has talking animals, wizards, witches, demons, sticks turning into snakes, burning bushes, food falling from the sky, people walking on water, and all sorts of magical, absurd and primitive stories, and you say that we are the ones that need help?
A man is accepted into a church for what he believes and he is turned out for what he knows.
The best cure for Christianity is reading the Bible.
–Mark Twain
An excellent quotation, thanks steve!
He forgot the floating axe (not to mention the nitty gritty of the Deluge), but a brilliant quote.
One of the dumbest concepts humans consistently get stuck in: “Holy Books.” Give me a break.
Mo does not admit that it is “crap”, only that non-believers get the impression that it is crap.
I looked at this cartoon over and over again, but i still don’t get the irony. I’ll look it over again, and hope the old bulb will light. I guess I’m getting old.
There’s no irony that I can see. The joke is that, if you read it without already believing it is the word of God, you’ll think it’s crap.
For some reason, my original post didn’t appear. Yes, the Koran is crap – it’s many years since I read it, but my abiding memory is of it having been written by someone with only a vague familiarity with the Bible, pretty much limited to the story of Noah’s Ark (which is repeated ad nauseam) and a couple of similarly widely known Bible stories.
