Pls don’t kill me for posting this. A holy warrior already smote the guy that drew it 🙏
My question is, if it is supposedly abominable to show a picture of Mohamed, thus there are no extant pictures of him, how does the claim that any particular doodle of a guy in a turban with a beard actually is a depiction of Mohamed stand up to logical scrutiny? (That was a rhetorical question. I know my error was actually in including the word “logic.”)
You can’t prove it’s actually him. This could just be the Continuing Adventures of Captain Bomb Hat, an individual completely unrelated.

A jihad upon you
You’ll KNOW it’s a drawing of Muhammad because the artist will be killed by a Muslim.
Truly the prophet of a thousand faces
- Draw racist caricature
- Label it “Mohammad”
That’s why it’s very silly. You can literally go around with a label maker and put “This is officially a depiction of the Prophet Muhammad” on any random thing.

I need explainxkcd.com, but for memes.
KnowYourMeme.com is the closest i could think of. Maybe combined with urbandictionary.com
There have been several violent incidents in reaction to published depictions of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, which is strictly forbidden by some interpretations of the Sahih al-Bukhari, one of the major Sunni Islamic texts.
I’m assuming that’s what’s being alluded to here.
But like, that’s stupid they don’t expect us to eat halal why do they expect us not to depict their prophet?
Because Religion = Logic - Religion
Basically they managed to convince a lot of people that drawing Mohammad is hate speech, while obviously such depictions do exist (especially those that also conflate having an Arabic decent with Islamism), it’s just certain fundamentalists won the free marketplace of ideas through bullying and terrorism.
Despite all the legitimate critiques, it was a mistake to succumb, now Christian fundamentalists are trying the same, see the overreaction to the Olympics.

Drag queens in the opening ceremony
People want to claim the drag performance was making fun of “The Last Supper” and the Gojira concert was “satanic”.

By their own statements, that was their actual intention though.
No it wasn’t. It was an homage to a French painting of Greek gods having a bacchanal.
It’s not every muslim. Only the bigoted/loudest ones. Just like not every christian intimidates you to accept Jesus as your savior.

Oh, yes I do remember that incident, but I never would have connected it with Yoda etc. Thanks.
Mohamed. For reference search it+ South Park

Twelve people were gunned down for publishing a cartoon of Muhammad.
A teacher was beheaded for showing a drawing of Muhammad.
Cartoonist drew Muhammad, leading to Danish embassies being attacked and riots broke out and people died. Later, people broke into his house to try to kill him.
Cartoonist had to live under police protection because of threats.
Creators of South Park were threatened for including Muhammad in an episode of the show.

I don’t care if you want to claim all religions are equally capable of violence.
There is only one religion I’m deathly afraid of pissing off if I choose to criticize them publicly.
Sure, but we can’t talk about that, it’d be “bigoted” so instead let’s just blame the Jews again
Fuck off, all religions are fucking stupid and need to die. They have no place in human civilization anymore. It is time to move on.
Isreal is a religious ethnostate, in the same way most of the middle east is, in the same way large swaths of the bible belt try (and many times succeed) to be.
The only difference between these three is the amount of money and leeway they’re given to enact their stupid bullshit. Its time the adults in the room stopped putting up with it.
You can throw around “edgy reddit atheist” all you want, but were not the group of people enabling and engaging in some of humanities most heinous acts over the fact that you where too stupid to question your parents. I’m so tired of wearing kid gloves around religious folk.
Have you considered public office? You’d have my vote
This type of comment is always hilarious to me. We’re talking about it right now. Nobody has been called bigoted. It’s fine.
Yeah this always struck my as bonkers. I personally like how South Park did it - with a full-body censor car. Even then the religious fanatics got salty about it.
You could literally be talking about anyone lmao
Unless logic were to exist

I dunno, that “other” group of fanatics isn’t in charge of the two largest nuclear arsenals in the world, so I’d dispute them being “far more dangerous.”

There once was a post on the Onion about a caricature of Christian, Judaist, Hindu and Buddhist gods having an orgy and no believers wishing death upon the author, but sighing and closing the tab instead.
There was one with mohammed included too in a french satirical paper, but it was sometimes in the -70 or -80. Much cooler times.
…didn’t that French newspaper then much later end up getting shot up?
I think it’s the same but I’m not sure. The shooting was like 40 years later though so not relevant to the mohammed orgy images.
It was shot up by people who were mad that the journal was regularly doing drawings like that.
Yes but that was 30-40 years later.
It’s not that specific drawing, it’s that they still make drawings like it regularly.
Well yes, but nobody cated for 30 years so they didn’t do it during that time. Or not at all as provocatively.
And here I thought it was Jar Jar Binks.
Even the Far Side got in on the act
This predates the internet. And I’ve heard it in at least two other languages besides English. I love it.
I wonder if the anonymous nature of memes could “shield” authors making images of Mohammad? How would you track them down? Would be even more difficult on federated instances/ActivityPub.
That’s actually a fair point but then loser butthurt extremists will probably just attack random targets (like they already have many times) because someone’s gotta pay for the offense caused.
Fair point. Like if you took an still from a movie, they’d attack the actors in it.
😊 <- TIL this is the only known picture of the Prophet Muhammad
How dare you
