THE CRESCENT AND CROSS MINDSET
I stumbled across this old cartoon somewhere here in FB. Maybe someone sent it to me, I do not remember. It offended me on so many levels I don’t know where to begin. This is not so much an article as just my response to the poster of the image and just expanded to what you read here, a non-professional observation.
Absolutely brilliant commentary here !
I suspect that the source of this cartoon are the usual suspects who are hell-bent on creating hostility between Christians and Muslims.
Besides; a traditional nun, such as the one pictured, would be unlikely to use the language of liberals with words such as ‘progressive’.
There is nothing remotely Islamophobic about this cartoon. It is an exercise in irony. The nun is wearing an all-covering gown and head covering, yet condemns hijab and burka as backward. This is a cartoon against hypocrisy, self-blindness and religious bigotry, especially on the part of the religious.
Paul Shelton: the point is that it fails because no nun would think or speak that way. To be considered “irony” it would have to contain more than a grain of truth; which it doesn’t. It is a secular liberal’s or Jews prejudiced and false view of Christians
