The Muslim Fortune Teller



This is from a 4-page comic that was distributed to Gulf gas stations before the war.



I like that the artist drew a comb-over on the client. Not enough to just draw a bald guy.

While depictions of wizards often feature clothing with images of 🌙 and 🌟, putting them together as in this ad, it clearly seems to be a deliberate reference to Islam.

I see no Ill intent, just a unique depiction. What is the Islamic view towards wizards?

both use versions of the Old Testament, the verdict would be death as a witch. But it also tells you that you can’t eat shrimp or touch a pig.
And death is clearly required for any child that raises a hand against their parent.
