jb: One whose head is repeatedly butting a prayer mat?
Google can’t find any reference to it, so this is just a guess.
As for sounding ‘kinda gay’, I have to defer to your expertise in assessing the relative gaiety of childish insults.
Hotrats, hope this helps.
One Kashmiri morning in the early spring of 1915, my grandfather Aadam Aziz hit his nose against a frost-hardened tussock of earth while attempting to pray. Three drops of blood plopped out of his left nostril, hardened instantly in the brittle air and lay before his eyes on the prayer-mat, transformed into rubies. Lurching back until he knelt with his head once more upright, he found that the tears which had sprung into his eyes had solidified, too; and at that moment, as he brushed diamonds contemptuously from his lashes, he resolved never again to kiss earth for any god or man. This decision, however, made a hole in him, a vacancy in a vital inner chamber, leaving him vulnerable to women and history. Unaware of this at first, despite his recently completed medical training, he stood up, rolled the prayer-mat into a thick cheroot, and holding it under his right arm surveyed the valley through clear, diamond-free eyes. — Salman Rushdie, Midnight’s Children
M27, I was looking through the J&M archives and found a delightful quote from Darwin Harmless. It said, and this is especially pertinent to Trump’s proclamations, “They are examples of fetid mental flatulence with chunks.”
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

If the muftis truly understood
Mancunian patois
they would blanket Manchester
with a million fatwahs
😂😂 this was funny, I like it
Fat Wahs were the sorts of lasses who were no stranger to the Sweet trolley….
What is a “rug-butter”? Sounds kind of gay…

There about three thousand Cretan Muslims, so Mo should know not to dis Crete.

I see Trump is admonishing the UK government for not getting their weapons out quick enough…If only his dad had been as slow…

Whatever happened to D.H?
Or that muslim geezer who claimed we were all having it off with our wives in bus shelters in broad daylight…🤣
Or was it with other peoples wives…
Sadly Darwin Harmless died a few years ago. Gemini confirms October 2018. I was in direct touch with him for while on a subject of mutual interest.
