The latest xenophobia from Jack Chick!
http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/1054/1054_01.asp

He must have milked his anti-Catholicism for all it's worth - time now to pick a new scapegoat religion.

Chick picks his villians the way pro wrestling does - popular, easy to caricature, and scares the hell out of rednecks.

3. I think

Seriosly, I've seen that teacher in his previous comics as she introduced a gay couple to the class.

17. Ms. Henn is a recurring character in the Chickiverse
She's very, VERY heathen. And yes, the witchiness is implied.

4. "We're leaving for the airport RIGHT NOW"
He doesn't even try to be subtle. In a way I gues it's why I love his tracts, but man, what a dick.

13. "But I'm not finished..."
"Oh, yes, you are!"

Subtle as a flying mallet, that Chick.

5. Ah, Chick.
What I particularly "love" about that strip is how he totally doesn't get how his criticisms of Islam apply to Xianity as well.

When grandpa knocks the Hadith because it's just "what people SAY Mohammed did and said," I can't help but laugh because that's exactly what the relationship is between the Gospels and Jesus!

People like Chick will never understand, and will continue to hate everyone who doesn't subscribe to their tiny fundamentalist views.

Oh, and the "magic words" to be come a Muslim - LOL.

20. Not to mention the Moon God thing
It doesn't occur to Xians that the stories about God, Noah, Jesus, Mary, etc., are all REAL similar to stories that had been floating around the Mediterranean and the Fertile Crescent for millenia before Christ was supposedly born.

Nice touch, that. Is he feeling personally threatened by evolutionists?

9. I had a Muslim woman speak about Islam in my history class on Monday
It is amazing how fucked up public perception of Islam is.

11. Erm...Jacob had two wives and two concubines...who were his slaves
Tamar slept with her father in law...

But I guess that doesn't count because it's in the Christian Bible.

18. Stop shouting!!
Edited on Thu Nov-18-04 09:33 AM by Rabrrrrrr
You made me drop my crystal into a bad chi flow on the floor.

Now I have to reionize it though ohmic meditation vibrations, and I'm already late for work down at the organic all-natural vegan food pantry where I do tarot readings for people who wear cut off shorts made from hemp and have straggly beards and are severely malnourished so as to look like skeletons.
