Don’t smirk. Here come Görmez’s clerks. For these students, trouble lurks.

“Turkey fumes over Quran-shaped cake,” by Judah Ari Gross, Times of Israel, April 21, 2015:
Turkish religious authorities have opened an investigation against Anatolian students for baking a cake in the shape of the Quran, Turkish Hurriyet Daily News reported Monday.
According to the report, in 2013 a religious study group in the northern Tokat province of Turkey made the Quran-shaped dessert as part of their religious celebrations.
When photographs of the cake emerged on social media recently, the Diyanet — Turkeys top religious authority — denounced the cake last week as “unacceptable,” even if it had been made by the seminary’s Quran-course students.
The Diyanet’s head cleric, Mehmet Görmez, said that the cake was not an appropriate way to observe the Holy Birth Week of the Prophet Muhammad. He added that the cake was decorated by students without the seminary’s knowledge.

So now I want cake, on top of the Thin Mints that just arrived…

Qur’an itself is a ill-baked , poisonous cake. Dont ever go near it.

They were just mad at it was a cake and not melons. The poor Saudi’s were accusing the Israelis’ of putting aids in melons, I guess after this quote it all makes sense now.

Come to think of it, I have never seen a Muslim crack a joke or laugh…hmmmmmmmmm
Mirren10 says
There are actually some muslim ‘comedians’. One of the ‘gags’ I read, (might have been on JW) was; ”muslims invented the 24 hour clock. That must be why they’re always late for everything.”
I tell you, I was rolling in the aisles, after that one.

Hi Mirren—remember Muslim troll Rezali Mehil said re her bizarre fantasy about me: “I think I can safely say that at least 1 billion would find it satirical and probably all the Western comedians too…”
“Female genital mutilation persists in Indonesia”

More hilarious Muslim humor…
Mirren10 says
Hi graven.
Yes, one of rezali’s sad little fantasies is not only that he is funny, but that he is an **intellect**. 🙂 A fantasy cherished by all too many mohammedans.
I think Champ hit the ball out of the park, when she described what satire actually is, on that thread.
Champ says
Hi Graven & Mirren10!
Hey a quran cake is ideal for mohammedan-party-animals to celebrate mohammad’s birthday! …then they can give out goodie bags filled with bloody fingers & eyeballs as party favors–or severed heads would work, too. Of course non-muslims will be invited to the party under some false pretense, like, this is a “Chrislam Party”, or something along those lines ..only to discover that it’s really a ‘convert or die’ party. Yeah they’re sure to find loads of naive non-muslims ready and willing to partake in a party like that (I mean they already do).
Ok, now that’s a small sampling of “satire”, rezali …right, Mirren10?! 😉
Rezali Mehil says
Salaam Graven,
Well talking of satire….as I said Muhammad’s SAW union with young Aiesha was a holy union …whilst your’s…
what with your sick hubby tounging and slurping your extra wide ear holes…your is a holey union.

………………………………
As I noted on the other thread, even if Rezali Mehil’s bizare fantasy were not so false, it *still* would in no way approach the perversity of the baleful “Prophet”, who, besides his horrifying rape of poor little 9-year-old Aisha, also engaged in forced marriage, gang rape, sex slavery, necrophilia, and forcing his own adopted son to divorce his wife so he could take her.
Blitz2b says
Rezali says “..….as I said Muhammad’s SAW union with young Aiesha was a holy union …”
Picture this, a young frail female body being penetrated by a 54 year old fart, is repulsive in every sense of the word, no matter if you throw your favorite self proclaimed prophet in the mix. It makes every normal human sick to the stomach, except paedophiles and Muslims…
This is absolutely no laughing matter, but your pathetic excuse to justify it as a “Holy union” surely is.
Maybe if you have a daughter of that age you could give her to the mullah of your local mosque in marriage, to emulate your prophet, and then see how it feels to destroy the innocence of a child, by sacrificing her body on the altar of Islam’s prophet.

That’s exactly why Rezali Mehil is so enraged, because I *did* picture just the horrifying scenario you recount.

There are a couple of Muslim comedians who make the comedy club circuit. If they ever aim their humor in the vicinity of Islam, it’s always only at the Tiny Minority of Extremists; most of the time (when they are not sidestepping the issue altogether), they are slyly, subtly lampooning Western prejudices and tendencies toward Islamophobia, or generously including the foibles of other religions in a generalized mishmash of equivalence.
What would be really witty would be someone working up an act where they satire a typical Westernized Muslim comedian, showing how they do the above.

And it isn’t usually even very subtle, Voeg. Most of the Muslim “comedians” I’ve seen tend to have jokes along the lines of Infidels reacting with alarm when Muslims pull out a lighter or make some innocuous comment incorporating the phrase “the bomb”. Innocent little Hijabis going through security at airports is always good for a larf, as well.
The general point of such “humor” is to paint the Kuffar as groundlessly paranoid, and the poor blameless Muslims as long suffering and and put upon…
voegelinian says
Yet another Muslim comedian, young guy in England, Humza Arshad:
http://www.cbsnews.com/videos/popular-muslim-comedians-battle-against-extremism-2/
Upon watching the puff piece video, I saw nothing in Humza’s act other than superficial fluff using hip cool mannerisms & rhetoric, addressing nothing of substance, leaving Islam completely out of his “battle against extremism”.
Holy Prophet APF says
Then you haven’t seen the photo of Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau laughing mightily after his crew kidnapped 200 pubescent schoolgirls for sale into sex slavery. Unfortunately, the market price for the girls was disappointing, and he was forced to peddle them at a discount, and there are rumors are that he had to give some away.
But it was a great photo, and Shekau was righteous in his emulation of the Holy Prophet in the Sunnah.
voegelinian says
Well, strictly speaking, laughter as an expression of evil triumph doesn’t count for appreciation of humor.
Holy Prophet APF says
Unless you’re a Moslem, which Shekau is. Humor is as humor does.

Charli Main says
Muslims have a long history of using Hashish. I believe that the English word “assassins” is from the Arabic word ” hashishin”—users of hashish.
I feel confident that the ” prophet” Mohammed received his messages from Allah, via Gabriel, after sucking on a handful of ” tokes”
Lookmann says
The ‘profit’ was a charlatan, so, what you say may be the truth [ that he might ‘ve consumed hashish.]
Darren01 says
Good ol’ Mo must have been one of those people who suffer psychotic episodes from smoking ganja. Most stoners don’t talk about or kill people. If there is truth to this, then smoking the ganja simply made his psychosis worse, and after the holy prophet had a psychotic episode lo and behold islam was born.

If it’s against the law to defame the Holy Ko-Ran in the abstract or to desecrate a physical one, and it is, then it is surely just as illegal to mock it in baked form. It is sweet to see Erdogan turning up the oven temp on the blasphemous bakers.
This episode makes me want to puke. I’m hungry.

Doesn’t this really tell you all you need to know about islam ? 🙂
Religious authorities are actually investigating **baking a cake**, in the shape of the koran. Dear God.
Charli Main says
I have long held the belief that Muslims are ” fruit cakes “
Suburbanbanshee says
I did a web search for “qur’an cake”. It would seem that lots of Muslims bake them or order such cakes from bakeries. (There’s a whole Pinterest category for gingerbread mosques, moon-shaped Ramadan/Eid cookies, and the like.) So this is more of the purists being nasty towards more popular forms of piety.
Claiming to be holier-than-thou is power, so I guess it pays for the purists to constantly find fault.
Francis Merde says
Even for the cult of the Moon God, Allah, this is insane. It’s not even uncommon to have religious themed cakes at religious celebrations. When I received first communion, my cake was made to order in the shape of a sky blue cross. They aren’t even insulting Islam, if anything making a cake (especially one as elaborate as the one in the picture) in the shape of the Koran should signal to anyone with a functional brain that the bakery in fact LOVES ISLAM and are proud to be Muslims.
Lord, people in Turkey (or at least the people taking specific offense to this) are fucking dumb.
Darren01 says

When I was a child, there was a bakery in my neighborhood. The window was full of display cakes: always an impressive multi-tiered white wedding cake; birthday cakes covered in buttercream flowers; one or another cake specifically for boys, with a sail boat or sports theme, varying by the season; cakes for graduation or retirement; and several times a year, especially at Easter, a cake in the shape of the Bible. It was also suggested for Communion.
A little sign nearby indicated that you could get your choice of Biblical quote done in script on the cake.
This bakery was directly opposite St. Kevin’s Catholic Church.
It is possible that some people might have considered the Bible cake a bit tacky. Did anyone consider it *blasphemous*? I would have been shocked if they did. More to the point, *no one* would have considered trying to persecute them for it.
And why would they? I looked up “Bible cakes” on Google, and there were 10,500,000 results.
It also shows just how oppressive the Muslim world is—these were *Qur’anic students*, so it is quite clear that “blasphemy” was the last thing on their minds.
Islam is humorless, and not above eating its own (pun intended).

“Qur’an-shaped cake has Turks irked, say bakers should have shirked
Don’t smirk. Here come Görmez’s clerks. For these students, trouble lurks.”
At first glance, I thought Spencer had exhausted all the “_rk” words possible that have a preceding vowel rhyming with “Turk” (it would be too much of a stretch to bring the captain of the starship Enterprise into this; and words like “cork” and “mark” wouldn’t do, except perhaps for a 19th-century poet…)
I discovered a website that does part-word searches throughout two old unabridged Webster’s dictionaries, the 1828 Webster’s and the 1913 Webster’s – e.g., if you search for .*rk it shows all the English words that end in “_rk”.
So we have:
Obvious ones like “work, quirk, murk, perk”…
Then an always appropriate one for things Islamic: dirk (dagger).
Not to mention: jerk.
We also find unusual and probably obsolete ones, like: chirk (to enliven, cheer up) and stirk (a young bullock).
And last but not least, one which the two old Webster’s’es (I wonder how the Chicago Manual of Style would solve how to pluralize a word that already has an apostrophe s…?) failed to anticipate (though one would have thought that Chaucer, surely, would have come up with this one):

I have no problem with Voegelinian’s wordplay, since it refers to Robert Spencer’s own.
By the way, I would add “lurk”, which seems appropriately ominous.
PRCS says
Though vog and I have our differences, I enjoyed his little bit of humor.
gravenimage says
Actually, I just thought of the most appropriate rhyme of all: berserk.
voegelinian says
I meant to add “berserk” but forgot about it at the time. Spencer already anticipated “lurk” however:
” For these students, trouble lurks.””
gravenimage says
Ah—thank you, Voeg. I missed Spencer’s used of “lurk”.
JamesonRocks says
Wow, this story “really takes the cake.” So, it must be true, “you can’t have your cake and eat it too.” I wonder if one of the bakers said, “no problem, this will be a piece of cake to do!”

You see anything in Islam can be used against you as there id no logic or truth anywhere in this religion of peace. One day it may be a cake, one day what you wear, one day drawing of cartoons, one day walking in front of a praying Moslem, one day looking at someone’s slave wife. In Islam you are at the mercy of luck. That is why these idiot Moslems can not do anything constructive but kill out of frustration and/or to reach virgins ASAP.

Very true, Sam. Islam is not only violent, it is so often arbitrary—and as we see here, even the devout may run afoul of other pious Muslims. What a way to live…

According to the MSM, religious police are a very bad thing – at least judging by their description of, for example, the Inquisition.

It is the religious belief of some people that food can absorb the positive or negative energy of the cook…and then others eat that, and it has an effect.. This is one reason food is prayed over…Everything entering or leaving the body, has an effect…That’s why it was said that, ‘it is not what goes into a mans mouth that defiles him, it is what comes out’…Since we know the Quran is full of hate, and the cook has his own share of it, only a Mahoundian can eat it without ill effect. Kuffar should avoid it like they avoid the plague…
