New Chick Tract- with Muhammad!

Last Halloween, a woman about thirty years old and her elderly mother came up to my candy bowl. (Neither in costume.) I reached in to pluck out a couple of the mini-candybars I was doling out, but my assistance was unnecessary. The women grabbed big handfuls of the candy. So surprised at this bold rudeness was I that I numbly took the pamphlet the younger of the two handed me before walking away with nary a “thank you.”

It was a poorly-Xeroxed rant about the evils of Halloween and how everyone who participated was going to hell. I wanted to holler after them that they didn’t seem to have a problem gobbling the devil’s candy.

Wow, even in the United States it only took us 240 years. The USA – 40 percent faster than God!

Oh yes, and he cites Ramadan’s beginning with a crescent moon as evidence that Allah is a moon god. He seems to be unaware that:

  1. All months in the Islamic calendar start with a crescent moon
  2. So do all months in the Jewish calendar
  3. If you’re going to have months based on the cycle of the moon, which most cultures do or did, it’s a rather obvious way to do it.

Of course, Chick is loonytoons, but why on earth would anyone but Muslims be shocked that he’s portrayed Muhammed?

Last time I looked there’s quite a few of us non-Muslims still around.

Fighting ignorance:
Khadijah’s cousin, Waraqah ibn Nawfal, was the Christian there. Not Khadijah herself.

As the story goes, Waraqah confirmed that Muhammad was indeed the true prophet whose coming was foretold in the Bible. How inconvenient for Chick.

When did Jack Chick ever let a little thing like facts get in the way of his message?

At least he ended the mistreatment of Jews once and for all. I mean, it’s been nothing but smooth sailing since then.
