When people ask me what I think of Islam...

I found this quote on the always brilliant reddit.com.  It's by 'TheBananaKing' and can be found here.

The way I see it, Allah is basically the Godfather. He's a murdering bastard - but he's an honest murdering bastard. He doesn't pretend to be anything else. You do like he tells you, you pay your protection money on schedule, you don't unduly piss him off, and he's a very charming individual, not above having dinner with your family and complimenting your very beautiful wife, you're a very fortunate man. Of course, fail in this regard and he'd have to get his business associates to educate you in the consequences of not paying sufficient respect and it would be such a shame for that to happen on this very fine carpet you have here.

The christian god, on the other hand... is the corrupt mayor in the shiny white suit. He does all the same things, except he manages to make it all everyone else's fault, and insist that you praise him for being so fucking wonderful.
