Aye. Anybody believing the bollocks that Mo invented in a cave with Absolute certainty, should , with Absolute certainty, be considered a highly dangerous individual. If 1984’s dystopian Rules were executed, how many Muslims could you lock up for harbouring murderous thoughts? At least 50% ?
I’ve come across similar disbelief from Christians about my disbelief. I’ve heard numerous times that, apparently, I do still believe in their god – but I hate him, or want to be free to sin. Or the perennial favourite that I worship the devil.
@M27Holts, I imagine everyone of a certain age has had murderous thoughts. However, it might be threading the semantic needles of murder, assassination, killing in war or other state-sanctioned actions, justifiable homicide, with a lot of variants on what constitutes justifiable.
If somebody harmed my wife, 2 daughters in Law or my 2 Grandchildren, I would consider a slow murder when in hot blood, knowing that the law will treat the perpetrators as if they were royalty with all mod cons and a life better than those poor souls sleeping rough on the streets…when murdering scum are treated as such with a lifetime of miserable torture perhaps victims of serious crime might feel that Justice is done…
As best as I can make out, Islamic apostasy is ill defined and treated in a variety of ways. Ranging from “so what”, to “let’s kill everyone, since not joining up with us jihadis indicates apostasy.” In many areas, the government justice system has nothing to do with it, but you could still be killed by a mob.
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

No true apostates fallacy… A corrolary to the No True Scotsman fallacy.
Why not? Because that reveals insecurity.

Imagine…There’s no Knobheads….and No Religion TOO…

78% of Islamic knobheads in Afghanistan support death for Apostasy…
How can Islam be perfect? Has anybody actually took time to read the Quran…it’s more batshit crazy than rhe book of mormon…
