Yet another cartoon row

This cartoon has upset some of South Africa's Muslims. It shows a series of well-known characters, asking, "Can you provide proof of the existence of any of the above?"

In between Jehovah and the Man in the Moon, you will see Allah, wearing a turban and sitting on a cloud.

Fucking spammers! Even that type-the-letters security thing doesn't seem to stop them.

I'd like to pour a few spirits over the gits that send out all this crap.

"I have some photos of Humpty Dumpty "

There's enough spam in the comment already without you offering pron to Steve's gentle readership...

Surely the fact that they are upset because a cartoonist has drawn a graphic representation of an entity they believe exists is really their problem (unless they make it society’s by killing the artist).

‘Allah’ is the Arabic word for God, rather than a name. Just as ‘God’ would not be a name in English. Though both Christians and Muslims tend to forget this. Muslims see their God as the same God as that of Christianity and Judaism, referred to as, "the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob", who they also revere.

I note they don’t complain about the representation of Jehovah in the cartoon. This is illogical and hypocritical of them.

They should theoretically object to representations of their deity labelled in any language, not just the ones labelled with the Arabic word for God.
