| O ye who believe! Take not into your intimacy those outside your ranks: They will not fail to corrupt you. They only desire your ruin: Rank hatred has already appeared from their mouths: What their hearts conceal is far worse. We have made plain to you the Signs, if ye have wisdom. (Al-Qur'an, 3:118 Aal-E-Imran [The Family of Imran]) | |
| Toilet Manufacturer To Introduce Koran-Accommodating Islamoflusher | |

| Note from staff Sometimes, life effortlessly outpaces art. This story actually happened, according to a rumor in late 2005. A west coast businessman was going to market the toilet, but a local chapter of the Better Business Bureau convinced him to halt production, citing bad taste. Apparently, the almighty dollar DOESN'T trump everything in An American toilet manufacturer is currently designing a new model that will "flush the bulkiest of Korans," sources said yesterday. A spokesman for Krap King, Inc. said the company would have the new "Islamoflusher" model in stores for
the spring, when Americans do their most flushing sacred religious texts included. The new toilet would "help prevent and possibly eliminate" situations like the recent Newsweek story, which reported that American interrogators at "The toilet backed up when the Koran clogged it," said an anonymous Krap King employee. "A detainee
witnessed the whole thing, and...BAM! Next thing you know, there's 17 dead and hundreds injured during anti-American rioting. Our toilet will prevent such incidents. If an interrogator puts a Koran in, that sucker ain't coming back up." Newsweek has since retracted the story, but Krap King is proceeding nonetheless. "Preventative measures," said an anonymous employee. "Plus, this is the toilet industry's big chance to shed its aura of obscurity and really make a splash." The ACLU released a statement denouncing the toilet. "This toilet shall accommodate Talmuds and Bibles," the statement read. "And we're checking into sacred Hindu and Buddhist texts, too. We will not have the toilet industry marketing their product for the sole purpose of humiliating Muslims." "We've gone after Big Tobacco and Big Oil before," the statement continued. "There's no reason why we won't confront Big Toilets on this issue." "If Krap King
can make an extra buck by being able to flush all the major religious books," said another employee, "get ready for our Atheist 4000 model." AB "For to us will be their return; then it will be for us to call them to account." (Holy Quran 88:25-26) | |

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.}
(Holy Quran-16:125)
{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
