This strip is so educational! I had no idea that bananas were known in medieval Arabia.

It’s not the fear of hell that brings people to religion. It’s the fun of smugly thinking about the torments all those other people will endure.

i think u guys are missing all the sex muslim heaven has. the quran and hadiths describe with great detail the horis or the virgin girls. there are mention of young boys even (some disagreement whether they are available for sex or not).the suicide bombers get 72 virgin houris!! besides,lots of islamic sex is promised in this life too.for men that is.

yeh.i too wonder why these cartoonists havent been blown up. even south park. but when its a news paper they go around killing people.wtf is wrong with em.

I think I went to Islamic heaven last summer… on the other hadn it could have just been a Bali hotel. The fruit basket on arrival confused me.

gobbycoot,
Author bypassed this little problem by using a body-double of Mo. There can be no blasphemy from using a body-double right? Yes the irony meter is vibrating crazily…..

gobbycoot,
I’m quite certain they have – which I assume is the main reason for the cartoonist’s name being Author.

I love love love this comic strip. But how on earth has the cartoonist not been blown up? Have Muslims just not discovered it?

How would Islam reconcile the fallacy in Mo’s thinking – Bananas are herbs, not fruit!

Oohoohhohoohoohh jihad on me.

Hey, maybe Christians DO hate fruits! Remember when Jesus cursed the fig tree?

I always wondered if those Xtians/Catholics/Muslims would still live their lives of virtue without the “BIG” payoff in the end. The other morning one of the more religious persons I work with asked how I was doing. My reply was “I’m breathing.”, their reply was “Better than the alternative.” I always have to play the Devils advocate and say “Isn’t heavan better than this place?” You geussed it deer in the headlights………

Felix, I imagine the administration of raisins would fall to the most dutiful and pious beaurocrats from Earth; to them this would be a form of eternal reward.

I guess any new arrivals that had managed to get into heaven by blowing themselves and their surroundings up would be fed into the raisin requisition process, a bewildering web of forms, approvals and a maze of departmental corridoors that would eventually return the applicant back where they started; an ironic form of eternal torture for those that forgot the bit in the good book that said not to kill other people.

I was once having a chat to a friend of mine who was commenting on how muslim paradise mainly catered for men. I asked him what he thought muslim paradise for women would be and his response was:
Habitat at Ikea prices

grouchy-one, speaking of raisins – has anyone worked out who actually counts and assorts all those raisin plates? Is that God’s second-worst punishment for recalcitrant angels, those who don’t really question his authority but dare to think they don’t like him that much?
Or is there some obscure nook in hell where sinners count raisins into small bowls (lots of scenario creativity permitted there)?
Since God always knew how many would enter heaven and when, has he prepared all the bowls at one instant, or does he make them in sets?

Lots of stuff J&M could discuss in future episodes. Full permission to use these ideas hereby given to Author. I’d be honored

It’s not a banana in my pocket and I’m not a follower of Islam,
I’m just happy to be here.
Apparently very happy, taking the temperature into consideration.
