Burning and aggressive gesturing continues in the extreme religious outposts of the world in reaction to the lampooning of the great prophet Muhammad. Cartoons usually point to something satirical (exposing human folly to ridicule) and Muhammad and the Islamic religion are no exception.

Muhammad is indeed a suspicious figure worthy of satire when the Book of Islam tells of him having a penchant for violence and an insatiable need to bed down with multiple women, an accomplishment worthy of being considered a male whore in later times.

He is a man similar to world’s greatest con-artist, Joseph Smith, the founder of the Mormons who stumbled upon some golden leaflets he claimed were long lost additions to the Bible telling of Jesus’ coming to America and frolicking with America’s native Indians. Smith, like Muhammad with the Koran, had his own interpretation of these sacred leaflets which somehow justified his lustful appetite for sex with slews of women.

In the above cartoon, Muhammad was depicted with a lit short-fused bomb for a turban for several reasons:

• Many people in Islamic countries are emotionally and mentally unstable,
• There are large numbers of Muslims who are willing to blow themselves up,
• Islamic religious violence is occurring in dozens of countries,
• and Muhammad seems to be at the helm of all this nonsense.

But you’re too busy baking chocolate chip cookies and asking your Muslim extremist friends, "Chewy" or "Crispy", to notice that something is wrong. All of this adds up to a delightful opportunity to poke fun at the inconsistencies and flat out wackiness of a religion that has been exposed and derailed.
