If somone’s wearing an “I love jihad and the hijab and Mohammed” T-shirt, it would be too easy to sneak up and stuff raw bacon down it.

BTW, PBUH Mohammed (Pigfat Be Upon Him).

“Most non-Muslims think that humor is foreign to Muslims. We will continue resisting the hateful attacks on Islam with our art and by producing new and appropriate designs,”

If they stopped blowing innocent people up that might help their cause a little bit too, wouldn’t you think??

[BipolarBob]

I’ll take the “I have a Sunni disposition and kill those with a Shi’itey one” T-shirt.

his brother, Ufuk

With a name like Ufuk, the kid has to be oozing self-esteem and confidence. Parents obviously had big plans for him.

Jesus was a Muslim? WTF?

"“Most non-Muslims think that humor is foreign to Muslims"

Well YEAH, talk to a bunch, their sense of humor is almost nonexistent except on a third grade level, they've got NO sense of sarcasm except on the level of Islam is a religion of Peace right before the explosive punchline, and they think "irony" is a mineral.

Look at the 'humor' on the T shirts, for Pete's sake! It's only identifiable AS humor because somebody told the reporter that's what it is. "Make kay (noble) not war"?? "Hijab suporter"? What, he wears one?? More likely, he prefers women covered, timid and bruised but without permanent scarring as proven by his magnum opus: "Go acceptable to Sharia Law ["Go halal"] THAT'S funny?? Only to a terrorist. I'm sure that stuff just has the Taliban and their Saudi enablers rolling on the floor. I personally find it as humorous as rubbernecking a bloody train wreck, as his friends tried to do in London.

And yes, stopping the murder of innocent civilians in the name of Allah is the BEST place to start an image makeover.

"Jesus was a Muslim?"

He said THAT?? I couldn't read the whole thing.

I have to admit, I'm tempted to say something smart, but this story is a rarity.

A Muslim doing something positive to promote his faith in an appropriate manner

Sort of shocking!!!

[cake_crumb]

Good lord, he DOES have a T shirt saying that! That’s an outright, outrageous lie about a religion that wasn’t a sparkle in Mohammad’s eye until the latter half od the 7th century.

Muslims believe that Islam was the original faith of all the prophets since Adam, but that it was corrupted & changed over time. So when someone converts to Islam, they are not converting, but rather ‘reverting’ (to the original faith).

[cake_crumb]

IMO, claiming that Jesus Christ was a Muslim is about as positive as my wearing a T shirt saying “Muhammed Raped Pigs”.

[cake_crumb]

Which WE all know is complete BS. What Muslims DO is subsume cultures by violence and then take credit for the advances of the subsumed culture.

[Tunehead54]

LOL from me - likely the first of many ... ;-)

" So he turned from painting walls to designing T-shirts, with the help of equipment given him by his brother, Ufuk."

Oh, dear... You can't even make that up!

...claiming that Jesus Christ was a Muslim is about as positive as my wearing a T shirt saying “Muhammed Raped Pigs”.

Thanks, I totally missed that in the article.

"Jesus Christ was a Muslim" is a historical inaccurate statement were as “Muhammad Raped Pigs” probably is true.

I take back my post

[Nathan Zachary]

LoL! maybe you should submit that “design” to the guy. Add a bloody “happy Ashura day” image to it.

So is your statement.

there is nothing "appropriate" about what he's doing. It's deceitful and insulting in fact.
