      I’m sure this post won’t be locked, and that the comment section will be civil and calm.

      Sorry but this is flat out misrepresentation and beneath this sub.  

      In daras 9:13:2  

      Mohammad said ” killing a man is like killing all humanity unless he is gay or painted my picture , then Stone that mother f ” 

    3. Hehe good time. Although careful with joking about stuff the mods don’t wanna talk about.

      Yahweh while killing , shocking, genociding the enemies of his chosen people 

      :  nerds.

    5. I feel like I recognize the guy in bottom right. Now where have I seen his face before?

      “Light hearted”

      MF you know exactly what kind of shitstorm you’ve just stirred up

      You say light hearted, but this is guaranteed to anger a lot of people for one very specific reason: It’s apparently blasphemy to make imagery of either Mohammad or Allah. Even South Park, whilst poking fun at this, didn’t cross that line.

      Still, I’ll enjoy this post while it lasts.

      I can sure you that this post will be one of the most civilized post on Reddit.

      How is it that the country that most treasures Confucius’s teachings creates so many governments that don’t follow them?

      I’m teaching to kill non-believers and then produce the same number of children so every living being is my follower. /s

      I love how no one’s actually getting into arguments here so far, just saying in before it gets locked. Honestly, I think that’s what causes these arguments to keep spreading and gaining more traction.

    13. I don’t know much about Taoism or Buddhism, but are you sure about Christianity?

      And then there’s Odin, who straight up says to die gloriously in battle if the Vikings wanna reach Valhalla.

      This doesn’t work with the image. The format is supposed to show gradually decreasing output from the same amount of work, not just one person disagreeing with the other three. Not to mention that there isn’t really a joke here. You’re just pointing out a difference.

      It is weird how most of the major religions are started by some ascetic holyman and then you get a random one that is started by a warmongering merchant.

    17. I’m not a fan of this religion or something, I do think the messaging in said book is more problematic than in the other ones.
      However, Christianity had been just as violent for a long time, and only stopped being used as an excuse for violence in the last few centuries, and places ruled by this religion we’re talking about have had some remarkably peaceful periods.
      What I’m saying is we’ve had a bit of a recency bias, awful rulers can abuse any religion for violence and self interest

      If there’s anything more emblematic of this sub than the abundance of comments going “uh oh better get in before lock amirite guise” and exactly no comment taking offense or even calling OP on his nonsense, I can’t find it.

      As a couple other commenters have noted, that is not a depiction of Muhammad. That is **Ali ibn Abi Talib**, the fourth Caliph and first Shia Imam.

    20. Well, well, looks like *someone* hasn’t read their Old Testament.

      Leviticus 24;16

      “Whoever blasphemes the name of the Lord shall surely be put to death. All the congregation shall stone him. The sojourner as well as the native, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death.  The entire assembly must stone them.”

      Exodus 20:22

      “He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the Lord only, he shall be utterly destroyed.”

      Deuteronomy 13:12

      Someone might say **^(13)** that evil people have moved in among you. And they might lead the people of that city away from God, saying, “Let’s go and worship other gods.” (These are gods you have not known.) **^(14)** Then you must ask about it, looking into the matter and checking carefully whether it is true. If it is proved that a hateful thing has happened among you, **^(15)** you must kill with a sword everyone who lives in that city. Destroy the city completely and kill everyone in it, as well as the animals, with a sword. **^(16)** Gather up everything those people owned, and put it in the middle of the city square. Then completely burn the city and everything they owned as a burnt offering to the Lord your God. That city should never be rebuilt; let it be ruined forever.”

      Deuteronomy 13:6

      **^(“)** If your very own brother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you love, or your closest friend secretly entices you, saying, “Let us go and worship other gods” (gods that neither you nor your ancestors have known, **^(7)** gods of the peoples around you, whether near or far, from one end of the land to the other), **^(8)** do not yield to them or listen to them. Show them no pity. Do not spare them or shield them. **^(9)** You must certainly put them to death. Your hand must be the first in putting them to death, and then the hands of all the people.”

      Honestly, white Jesus is the most upsetting part of this. The actual Jesus (assuming he existed, which he probably did) would have looked like the dude in the bottom right.
