Jesus ‘n’ Mo ‘n’ context

There’s a new Jesus and Mo comic , called “context,” which came with the note, “ Another eternal, uncreated Jesus & Mo strip,” as well as this caption: And it’s eternally important that you don’t hang around after dinner. As I point out in my foreword to the latest J&M collection (see below), Mo always instantiates the very thing he’s criticizing. In this case, he overturns his own claims. The verse at hand is here (bolding is mine): O believers! Do not enter the homes of the Prophet without permission ˹and if invited˺ for a meal, do not ˹come too early and˺ linger until the meal is ready. But if you are invited, then enter ˹on time˺. Once you have eaten, then go on your way, and do not stay for casual talk. Such behaviour is truly annoying to the Prophet , yet he is too shy to ask you to leave. But Allah is never shy of the truth. And when you ˹believers˺ ask his wives for something, ask them from behind a barrier. This is purer for your hearts and theirs. And it is not right for you to annoy the Messenger of Allah, nor ever marry his wives after him. This would certainly be a major offence in the sight of Allah. This stuff is added, and you might want to throw some dosh the way of the artist (remember, his strips make fun of religion, and for that he has to be anonymous: Why not become a patron of J&M ? Books are still available – The latest J&M collection of J&M strips, which has a foreword by Jerry Coyne, is available here.
