Raids by French authorities have resulted in the confiscation of hundreds of war-grade weapons from numerous mosques throughout the country. The raids were inspired by the November 13th Islamic terrorist attack that killed 130 people in Paris.
The raids were denounced as discriminatory by Imam Aliki Kilyu. "We would never see the government raiding churches and confiscating crucifixes," he complained. "By singling out the holy places of Muslims for their intrusions these kafirs have disrespected the beliefs of Islam."
Kilyu rebuffed contentions that crucifixes and weapons cannot be compared. "Christians are the ones who believe in turning the other cheek. The crucifix is a symbol of their god sacrificing himself for this tenet of faith. Muslims are commanded by Allah to fight for Islam. Weapons are the instruments by which Muslims carry out this religious obligation. Government confiscation tramples on Muslims' freedom to freely practice their faith."
The Imam cited the revelation of seized recordings of chants glorifying martyrs who give their lives to slay unbelievers as "proof that the authorities knowingly violated one of the most sacred tenets of our faith. The West likes to hold itself up as a regime of tolerance for diversity, but when it comes to Islam their hypocrisy is on display for all to see."
As if to reassure non-Muslims, Kilyu promised that "the path to peace is clearly spelled out in the Quran. Once the world is conquered for the faith of Allah everyone can live in peace under the laws laid down by the Prophet. Refusal of the infidels to submit compels we Muslim faithful to continue the fight. The blood is on their hands."
In related news, Imam Oussama El-Saadi declared Denmark's efforts to prevent Muslim men from acquiring child brides "an intolerable invasion of religious freedom. Older men choosing young girls to be their wives is part of our culture. The Prophet (may peace be upon him) was wed to his favorite wife when she was only six years old. That Muslim men would seek to emulate the behavior of the perfect man should not be impeded by sacrilegious infidel interference. What the West doesn't understand is that it is better for a girl to be owned by one man than to be available for rape by many men, as is also the custom in our culture."

I'd LOL at that one, but that would be correct. There they just bar the doors and burn the church down, congregation and all.
Good one, John!
Weapons in the hands of followers of Islam is the same as followers of Christianity and their crosses?
They are both needed to practice their religion. ???
Sadly this isn’t even semi satire, it’s the truth.
Is this humor? Hell no! It’s reality! LOL!!
This satire borders very close to the truth.
At least as discriminatory as the French anti-rape statutes.
Put all the combatants ,an equal number of Muslims and Christians in a room .
Then arm the the muslims with copies of the Koran
and arm the Christians with 4 foot crucifixes
and we'll see who God favors .
Didn’t sound like satire to me.
The “semi-satire” label is correct.
As usual, John expresses the bad guys’ viewpoints better than they do.
Ouch! Feel the burrrrrrrrrrrnnnnnnnnnn!
Except that with the fatally twisted world view of your average jihadi, the satire would *not* be obvious.
