#1 So, from this guy, the very truth in the Master Religion lies in 1) its accuracy on baby pee, and 2) its accuracy on flies wings...

You know,... I can see why that Master Religion is so OBSESSED in bodily fluids, human excretions, in how and what people should eat, what bodyparts they must wash in what order before praying publically to show they're obedient rubes, etc, etc, ad nauseam and up to a somewhat ridiculous degree...

It's BECAUSe they've found those two elementary truths, and so didn't need to even question dogmas, go on theological disputations, examine their scriptures, try to figure what those stoopid Christian theologians spent literally centuries discussing, refuting, affirming, confronting,...

No, when you know your religion is true because it's right on pee, then, you don't have to do all that silly stuff.

Really, WHY exactly are we supposed to take those people seriously? Back in th emiddle ages, Christian theologians were aware and savvy about islam, but didn't even try to refute it, as it was seen as too pointless to do so, they saw it as a Christian heresy that was so recessive it was not even useful to intelligently debate it, why bother to clash minds with idiots? But now, with oil money and post-Christian multiculralism, we're supposed to pretend it's an "adult" religion, not some dumbass cult obsessed with bodily fluids. Nice.

#5 A Google search indicates that Bayer doesn't make any HIV/AIDS drugs, let alone a fly-wing-derived one. And antibiotics are useless for viruses anyway. The Muslims made stuff up 1,300 years ago and they're still making stuff up today.

#9 Wait until they find out that the symbol for addition and powerline poles are crosses, and cogs are variations on the Star of David.

Actually, you've been beaten up to that by Reality... in 2005 there was a internal report that got leaked out of the french public education system that was making a summary of the "diversity"-caused problems (that was put much more PC-ly than that, but it was it), and one nice incident was young muslim kiddies refusing to use the "+" sign in arithmetics, as "it looked like a cross".

#11 Drat! Found out did they, well our plan to continue to use the St. Andrew 'x' for multiplication is still in effect, and that the use of the Chinese invention of gunpowder disqualifies them from club paradise.

#12 Actually, you've been beaten up to that by Reality.

Given the weird-ass tangents the world is spinning off on these days, it is becoming harder and harder to write meaningful satire and parody without finding that that Reality(tm) has beaten you to the mark. I don't know how ScrappleFace manages to stay in business.

After reading the article and the comments about unislamic arithmetic operators, one might be forgiven for thinking that Muslims are the stupidest of all God's children.

#13 HMMMMMM, well, not to degrade anybody's traditional beliefs but in many OLDER ASIA-PACIFIC CULTURES E.G. PARTS OF THE PHILIPPINES, SE ASIA, PAPUA-NEW GUINEA, ETC. ITS "WORMS", i.e. believers deliber or consensually ingest themselves wid [harmless?]worm-infested/tainted foods usually in their indigenous ancient naturalist belief that it improves physical potency as well as satisfies links to ancient creation myths = social-hereditary rank. Also proclaimed to make food just taste better.
COMPARE TO BREATHING IN TOXIC VOLCANIC GASES-VAPORS, + DELIBERATE BITES VEE VENOMOUS SNAKES, SPIDERS, ETC .... TO SEE/FIND "GOD" + "VISION QUEST(S)"!?

#14 Wow, w/absolute fail safe logic such as this, how can anyone dare question that the koran is not the inerrant word of God?
