Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

MODERATORS
The sentiment is great. Unfortunately the Muslim stereotyping hits a lot different in 2023 than it did in 2012.
What about this is stereotyping in a negative or hurtful way? I am genuinely asking for the purposes of learning btw, not concern trolling or sea lioning.
Probably the "Muslims who die get 17 virgins" thing.
Theyre called "hoor al-ayn" and descriptions of them are in the primary islamic religious literature (in both the quran and hadith). Googling that will bring up plenty (youtube comments under videos on it especially are something else)
Here's some relevant passages:
Not sure about the specific number (the trope is 72, not 17) but the comic is accurate.
That can't last enternety.
The catch is you don't have libido anymore because, duh, you're in heaven and has no need to procreate, so god disabled that feature. Now you have 17 forever-virgin room mates. I mean, the verses didn't mention that you get to have sex with the virgins, right?
