The latest cartoon from Jesus and Mo, called “curse“, is not only clever, but also a good tactic to use when you’re making identity-based arguments. Simply replace one ethnicity with another and see whether what seems right and moral suddenly becomes immoral. I needn’t give examples. But Mo is now reporting Jesus to the cops!
Jesus ‘n’ Mo ‘n’ turnabout

Terrorific !
Oh! I know what to do: ask Google what the Koran says about unbelievers. I wonder what the results will be — my first guess is: thoroughly sanitized. — now, editing, (and I have to think about that first guess) — to be fair, it’s complex, says Google, with some verses cited to regarding some sort of peaceful coexistence. Others, not so much. The emphasis is on historical context and cultural nuances. Fair enough — but it does seem to me that virulent aspect of this religion is an enormous political force.
Most religions try to massage the meaning of such texts- it’s metaphor, it’s historical, the words mean something else, the concepts are very broad, the concepts are very narrow. Because Islam has several features which make these helpful and happy reinterpretations difficult, it’s tempting to believe them when they tell you who they are.
But turnabouts are great for detecting biases — including our own.
[5:52] O ye who believe! take not the Jews and the Christians for friends. They are friends one to another. And whoso among you takes them for friends is indeed one of them. Verily, Allah guides not the unjust people.
Meh. Keeping the Righteous™ separate from the Unrighteous™ is religion 101.
