Jesus ‘n’ Mo ‘n’ hijabs

January 28, 2026 • 9:00 am

The latest Jesus and Mo strip, called “looks,” came with a message: “It’s World Hijab Day on Sunday! Fortunately, it’s also No Hijab Day, so it balances out.”

And (a recurring theme): Mo himself shows precisely the phenomenon he criticizes.

Here are the guidelines for World No Hijab Day from the Council of Ex-Muslims of Britain:

How to take part in No Hijab Day:

  • We are calling on women of all beliefs and backgrounds to take off their hijab, and put it on a man on February 1.
  • Use this opportunity to spark meaningful conversations about purity culture in Islam, challenge sex-apartheid, and show your solidarity with ex-Muslim, Iranian, Afghan, and other women around the world who refuse to wear the hijab.
  • Share your thoughts, experiences, and support using #NoHijabDay and #HijabSilences
  • Let your voice inspire real change for women’s rights.

But I don’t want to wear a hijab!

Note that you can support the strip for as little as $1 per month. Also, see the funny FAQ about the strip.

Jesus ‘n’ Mo ‘n’ theism

January 7, 2026 • 9:00 am

Today’s Jesus and Mo strip, called “divide”, came with a caption: “Are you sure it’s not in their cardiovascular system?”  When you read the strip, you’ll understand:

What I don’t get about this strip is that even if Jesus were real, and was conversing with his believers, it would have to be in their heads.  What’s the alternative: Jesus appearing before people and having a chat with them?  Well, you tell me, but this is one I don’t get, though it’s clearly meant to satirize the “personal conversations” people have with Jesus.

I bet there’s a chatbot for that, though. . .

Jesus ‘n’ Mo ‘n’ conversion to woo

December 31, 2025 • 9:15 am

Today’s Jesus and Mo strip, called “abandon,” came with this note:

Ending the year on a hopelessly optimistic note. Happy New Year to all youl ovely patrons! Here’s the article upon which today’s strip is based.

After many tries, I managed to call up that archived article, but here’s the same one I found in the Times from December 2 that you can probably access for free (click on screenshot).  They’re the same.

And an excerpt:

Paganism is the most popular spiritual destination for British Christians who convert to another faith, outstripping Buddhism, Islam and Judaism, a study has found.

Religious faith is “fragmenting” in the UK as more than one in ten people who abandon Christianity in Britain take up paganism, wicca or another form of “spiritualism”, according to the report.

While Christianity is still gaining new adherents, these arrivals are outnumbered by people quitting the faith, figures showed. This is leading Christianity to dwindle in Britain overall, casting doubt on recent reports suggesting that a revival may be under way.

So much for a slowdown in the waning of Christianity!  Here the barmaid explains the decline to the pair, BUT note that many of these apostates still accept some form of woo.

Jesus ‘n’ Mo ‘n’ “Islamophobia”

December 17, 2025 • 8:15 am

The latest Jesus and Mo strip, called “obvious”, came with a note and a  link:

They UK gov just aren’t going to let this one go, for some reason: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cjrjzp42v4zo

It’s paywalled, but you can find the full article archived here; it’s titled, “Ministers finalising definition of anti-Muslim hatred.”  Here’s an excerpt (for some reason the BBC turns every sentence into a paragraph). I’ve put the draft definition in bold.

The government is considering a draft definition of anti-Muslim hatred which does not include the term “Islamophobia”.

The BBC has seen the form of words from the Islamophobia/Anti-Muslim hatred working group, which the government has taken to stakeholders for consultation.

Free speech campaigners have expressed concerns that protections for “Islamophobia” would mean it would not be possible to criticise the religion itself.

Members of the working group argue the definition protects individuals while avoiding overreach.

A working group was established in February to provide the government with a working definition of anti-Muslim hatred/Islamophobia.

A working group was established in February to provide the government with a working definition of anti-Muslim hatred/Islamophobia.

They submitted their proposal to the government in October.

The definition will be non-statutory, meaning it is not set in law or legally binding, but will provide a form of words public bodies can adopt.

It provides guidance to the government and other bodies on what constitutes unacceptable treatment of Muslims, aiming to help them better understand and quantify prejudice and hate crimes against this group.

The draft definition is: “Anti-Muslim hostility is engaging in or encouraging criminal acts, including acts of violence, vandalism of property, and harassment and intimidation whether physical, verbal, written or electronically communicated, which is directed at Muslims or those perceived to be Muslims because of their religion, ethnicity or appearance.

“It is also the prejudicial stereotyping and racialisation of Muslims, as part of a collective group with set characteristics, to stir up hatred against them, irrespective of their actual opinions, beliefs or actions as individuals.

“It is engaging in prohibited discrimination where the relevant conduct – including the creation or use of practices and biases within institutions – is intended to disadvantage Muslims in public and economic life.”

In today’s cartoon, Jesus is right: if all religions are protected from hatred and discrimination, there’s no need to single out Muslims, giving them their own special protection that’s identical to everyone else’s. If the government wants to protect everyone equally, they only have to change the draft definition from “Anti-Muslim hostility” to “Anti-religious hostility.”  Jesus points this out:
