Worst Political Cartoons

I don't really see the link between "helping build new mosques in Europe" and "spreading a fundamentalist Muslim sect", tbh.

The Mosques need preachers and Saudis bring Muslims from all around the world to the school they have built for this purpose. Those preachers are then sent to the Mosques the Saudis have funded to spread the Salafi doctrine. This is not a conspiracy theory, it's something scholars, intelligence officials and many Muslims are well aware of. I don't know if you noticed the outrage and worry the Shia Muslims expressed when the news came that there will be a Saudi funded grand Mosque in Helsinki.

[Even Then]

I don't really keep up with current Muslim events in Finland, and honestly I don't watch the news that much ^^;

[Askold]

Yeah, the main problem is that when Saudis build a Mosque only their Imams are allowed to preach in them and these are from a different branch of Islam.

Kinda like if a bunch of Orthodox Christians were seeking refuge in a faraway land and Catholic Church would declare that they will build a church for them. ...Except that only Catholic priests are allowed to preach in the church. ...Actually you could replace Catholics with (incredibly rich in this fictional scenario) Westoro Baptist Church...

I assume that they are talking Spanish (or what the artist probably calls "Mexican") so that the readers know they are the "bad" kind of foreigners...

Really? I thought it was just because the reader would probably not understand "I don't speak English" in Arabic.

[Svata]

I'm likely giving it far too much credit, but I read it as them trying to pass themselves off as Hispanic, rather than Arabic.

[mellenORL]

Trying to dodge the issue by pretending not to understand the question. That's the old "No hablo Ingles" or "Yo no se" joke. It's been done in movies many times, often quite funny.

is that... marx? big non-sequitur.

I got the impression that the comic is pro-Marxist.

The artist shows that communists have fought against Nazism for a long time and draws a parallel between Neo-Nazis and SJWs and demands that the workers of the world keep fighting these evils.

...Whether you think that SJW Tumblerites are as bad as Net-Neo-Nazis is another matter but the artist seems to think so.

i got that, it's still a non-sequitur to bring marx into a commie vs nazi fight, and an even bigger one to bring it to a feminazi vs commie one (see what i did there?). i mean, marx may have sorta-kinda inspired communism, but still.

disclaimer: that was just for pun.

Yeah, let's ignore the inconvenient fact that Marx was quite anti-Semitic himself.

A wise man once said, "if you have hate in your heart, let it out."

So he would agree with the Nazis on that issue. Admittedly, it's the issue that makes the Nazis despicable, but he would still disagree with their economic policies.

I don't think he exactly agreed with the Nazis on Judaism, either. His father was a Jew who converted to Lutheranism, as far as the Nazis are concerned Marx was a Jew too.

I'm not sure what to think of that.
