I understand what you’re trying to do. Simply put, you’re trying to critize and mock the beliefs in Islam. As a Muslim, I feel downright insulted. You’ve barely taken any time out to research Islam, but you feel that you have the credentials to mock it.
If you look at the specifics of Islam, or in fact just ask any Muslim, no condones terrorist attacks nor any actions ISIS does. That’s why you don’t see 1.6 billion people blowing themselves up this second. In fact, it very much goes against the rules of Islamic warfare: that being no building, civilians, children, or women are to be damaged or injuired. In fact, if possible avoid all possible harm to any party is what Islam teaches. Yet you have the audacity to simply look at the fringe lines, and even that’s devatavle, and state that this is Islam as a whole. To do this in any other field of study would label and effectively render you as a fool amongst your peers.
Not to mention, these people who say they practice Islam or undergoing two things:
1) their homeland is being attacked and they try to attack back.
2) they genuinely don’t follow Islam properly. Please tell me where it says to get intoxicated in Islam off of heroin? Where does it say to employ prositutes? Where does it say to kill the innocent? Where does it say to steal income that isn’t yours and cause further destruction?
You may read this comment. You may not. But if you do, I heavily implore you to explore what Islam has to offer. How the media portrays Islam, and anything really, is often times emphasized to a bloated view for the pursuit of clicks.
JY: I don’t denounce you for defending your religion. Just know that I am spanking Islam no more harshly than I have spanked Christianity in other comics that I have drawn (I also shit on patriotism fairly regularly).
I’ve known a few Muslims, and they were all fine folks. But the people I am disrespecting in my comic are not Muslims, but the liberals who were and are too terrified to print drawings–ugly, flattering or otherwise– of Mohammed, even in solidarity with the journalists of Charlie Hebdo who died for their right to criticize the same Muslims you yourself feel free to criticize.
This is the kind of hardcore punk comic that the world needs more of.
JY: Finally someone gets me!
The numbered hover texts aren’t cutting it — I expect more from my free entertainment!
JY: Those numbers form a puzzle! Solve the riddle of the threes and a magical jewel will come to thee!
