This meme has become very popular in the atheist community. When Christianity is ridiculed, no one brings up Islam, but when Islam is attacked (like when an Islamist kills 50 people in a gay bar,) for some reason, Christianity is brought up as a distraction.

Now obviously there are similarities between Christianity and Islam. Both are the bastard children of the morally and intellectually repulsive cesspool known as the Torah. They stem from the same god who promised Abraham a whole lot of stuff for a piece of his foreskin. They stem from the same perfect god who realized that he screwed up in making humans and therefore decided to drown everyone and start over.

How to be a merciful and loving god:

Never kill absolutely everyone. Always keep at least a few alive to prove your tender lovingness and mercy. If you want to go the extra mile in bolstering your unquestionable goodness, throw in a human sacrifice.

In today’s world, there are striking differences between Christian and Muslim society. Certainly there are stark differences between the United States and Islamic theocracies. There are differences between these two women depicted in the meme.

First off, let’s state the obvious. The American girl can wear a bikini, have a drink, have sex with men, and eat bacon. She can also say Fuck Christianity, Fuck Islam, Fuck Atheism, Fuck the Pope, Fuck the Ayatollah, and Fuck the President. Let’s hear it for FREEDOM!!

Here are some other differences:

#1 – The American Christian with her Bible and gun is free to leave her religion if she chooses without being killed. The death penalty for apostasy (abandoning religion) is popular in Islamic culture. According to statistics from the Pew Research Center, 74% of Muslims in Egypt believe that Sharia Law should be the law of the land, and 86% of those people believe in the death penalty for leaving Islam. That’s a majority of 64%, and Egypt is considered one of the more “moderate” Islamic countries.

#2 – The Christian girl doesn’t have to worry about being killed by her family if she’s sexually assaulted or doesn’t marry through her father’s arrangement and consent. In Islamic culture the woman is blamed when a man attacks her, and many have been killed in so called “honor killing” because the victim somehow “brought shame” to her family. In Pakistan alone, over 1,000 women die in “honor killings” each year.

#3 - Bible banger girl doesn’t believe she’s going to heaven for killing people.

#4 – American flag girl can show her hair. In Islamic countries like Iran, not wearing a hijab is illegal. Iran is currently arresting women for showing their hair on Instagram.

#5 – The Bible banger can lip sync and dance to music without some uptight extremist asshole getting a stick up their ass and threatening her with imprisonment and lashes. Seven Iranians were arrested in 2014 on “obscenity” charges for producing their own video version of Pharrell Williams’ song “Happy.”

#6 - The U.S. girl wouldn’t get arrested for reporting her own rape to the police. In Qatar, a Dutch woman was drugged and raped. She reported her rape to the police and was arrested for adultery. She served 3 months in prison and was fined $845 for being raped! Pardon my French but FUCK SHARIA LAW!

#7 - American women can socially engage with boys in public who are not their relatives. Segregation between sexes is common in Islamic culture. There have been fatwas (legal opinions of joyless self-righteous Islamist schmucks) which forbid mixing between men and women. This segregation is also common with male Orthodox Jews who like to inconvenience people on flights by demanding not to sit next to women. Orthodox is another name for idiot.

#8 - Christian extremist girl doesn’t want gays to get married. Islamic extremist girl doesn’t want gays to breath.

#9 - Only one of these women worships the words of a pedophile prophet, a creepy old man who had sex with a 9-year-old.

#10 - USA girl enjoys freedom of expression. In Egypt three Christian teenagers were jailed for five years for mocking Muslim prayers in a video. Secular bloggers have been butchered in Bangladesh and imprisoned or sentenced to death in Saudi Arabia which beheads more people than ISIS.

#11 - Female genital mutilation (FGM) of young girls, the disgusting practice of cutting the clitoris in order to remove sexual pleasure and desire has greater prevalence in Islamic society than Christian society. It is estimated that 91% of women in Egypt are victims of FGM.

#12 - USA girl is treated equally to men when she gives testimony in court. In many Muslim societies, a Muslim woman’s testimony in court (legal rights) is worth half of a man’s. Why? This is per the Qur’an verse 2:282. “let his guardian dictate with fairness; and call in to witness from among your men two witnesses; but if there are not two men, then one man and two women from among those whom you choose to be witnesses, so that if one of the two errs, the second of the two may remind the other.”

#13 - Acid attacks are a growing problem in Islam, not Christianity. Three Afghan girls were in critical condition after Muslim men tossed acid in their faces for going to school. Muslim men have thrown acid on women who didn’t accept their marriage proposals as a way to “defend their honor.” Muslim extremists in Pakistan are actually fighting for their “right” to kill their wives and daughters.

#14 - Christian girl is able to use the “Jesus card” as an excuse to ignore just about everything in the Old Testament (ex. slavery, ethnic cleansing, mass murder, etc.) But the gun indicates she may not be taking the “thou shalt not kill” commandment seriously. Well, Moses didn’t either! Muslims can also make excuses for not following the sickening parts of their religion, but nothing beats the Jesus card, except for atheism, in the great excuses to not actually follow religious text category.

#15 - USA girl would not be stoned to death if she committed adultery. According to the Pew Research Center, a majority of Malaysia (another one of those “Moderate” Islamic countries) believe in stoning as punishment for adultery.

In Islamic society freedom of expression and equality for women are considered “Western” values. Here we simply refer to them as “human” values. Human values are worth fighting for, religious ideology is not. Secular good, theocracy bad.
