“Under the scheme, beer mats are provided to pubs and restaurants with questions about Islam. On the reverse is an internet link to the answers.
“Rather than using formal German, the beer mats are printed in regional dialect for each city, complete with local slang.
“Typical questions include “Mohammed, what was he like?” and “What is it with Muslims and pork?”
“The scheme has run in a number of German cities since it was first launched in 2016, and the beer mats have been translated into three dialects.“But a bid to introduce it in the small central German town of Maintal, close to Frankfurt, has run into opposition from local Muslims, who say beer mats are an inappropriate way to educate people about a religion that forbids alcohol.
“They could have used postcards, or adverts on the side of a bus. Why did it have to be the pub?” Salih Tasdirek, the head of the local foreigners’ advisory council, told Spiegel magazine.“The local council has defended the scheme. “We wanted to bring big social issues into conversation,” said Verena Strub, the council’s integration officer.“I can understand if someone associates beer mats with alcohol, but not that anyone would associate Islam with alcohol just because the questions are on beer mats.”‘The scheme is the work of Orient Network, a small German NGO that promotes interfaith understanding.“We wanted to give answers in local language to the questions that our members, mostly Islamic scholars, are always asked,” said Raban Kluger, the scheme’s main organiser. “It is not our intention to associate alcohol with Islam.”“The questions and answers on the beer mats were all drawn up by Muslims and checked by Germany’s Central Council of Muslims, Mr Kluger said.“Tens of thousands of beer mats featuring the questions have been printed. So far, they have been translated into the local dialects of Saxony, the Baden region, and Hesse, where Maintal is located.
1. Aside from payment of the Jizyah, what other conditions did non-Muslims have to meet in order to both stay alive and to practice their religion?
2 Why did Muhammad attack the Jews of the Khaybar Oasis?
3. Why did Muhammad say in hadiths that “war is deceit” and “I have been made victorious through terror”?
4. Why did Muhammad think it was alright if he consummated his marriage to Aisha — that is, had sexual intercourse with her — when she was nine?
5. What had Asma bint Marwan, Abu ‘Afak, and Ka’b bin al-Ashraf done to Muhammad, to make him want them dead?
6. Why did Muhammad decide that the 600-900 prisoners of the Banu Qurayza should be killed,, and why did he personally take part in the killing?
7 If the Qur’an says there is “no compulsion in religion” why are Muslims who want to leave Islam threatened with death?
8. Why did Muslim conquerors kill tens of millions of Hindus in India?
9. How did Zoroastrianism disappear from Iran?
10. Why did Muhammad order the torture and murder of Kinana of Khaybar?
11. Why does the Qur’an 98:6 describe non-Muslims as “the most vile of created beings”?
12. Why have some Muslim males killed their female relatives, like Aqsa Parvez, for not wearing a hijab?
It is inconceivable that any of these questions — a disturbing dozen — would make it onto those Islamo-German beer mats. And that is why we should agree, though for very different reasons, with the Muslims of Maintal, ie. that the Islam-themed beer mats should be prohibited. It’s not the connection to alcohol, but the lack of connection to the truth, that should madden us. Those beer mats are exercises in mendacity: easy questions, misleading answers. So ban away, oh Muslim men of Maintal. We’re right behind you.

Question is, how many tavern owners accept these lying beer coasters? How many customers stop going to the pubs where such disgusting coasters are used? I would shun such places. Here’s the real Islam:

A lot of bars and restaurants just accept whatever freebies they get as promotionals from their suppliers, because it is one less thing to buy. I just don’t know why customers–even drunk customers–didn’t complain about these things.
William A Carr says
I suggest that they are quite ineffective. The last thing men want to talk about in a bar or pub is Islam. They talk about women, football and other sport, maybe politics etc not Islam
J D.S says
Supposedly beer and all alcoholic beverages are appalling to Muslims so why use these mats to promote anything to do with islam?..Notice I said “supposedly”
gravenimage says
I think the dhimmi idiots behind this just saw it as a way to reach a lot of Germans–Germans like their beer–and that the disconnect just never occurred to them.
I don’t think this was ever intended to reach lax Muslims who might be off swilling beer, but was meant to indoctrinate ordinary Germans about how wonderful Islam is.
andra says
Most restaurants and pubs took the freely offered mats in the beginning. But they were not really of any interest by the visitors so the answers were hardly looked up in the internet.
Some pub owners stopped using these mats as they did not get a lot of positive resonance.
gravenimage says
Thanks for that information, Andra.
Anjuli Pandavar says
Aw, that’s such a shame. Have they tried, maybe, condom packets, you know, in those public toilet vending machines. That should be a winner. At least they won’t have *this* problem: “I can understand if someone associates beer mats with alcohol, but not that anyone would associate Islam with alcohol just because the questions are on beer mats.”
CogitoErgoSum says
An even better idea would be to put verses from the Quran on the toilet paper in the rest rooms. It might help draw more customers. Would at least put the place on the map, that’s for sure.

The Beer Mat Scheme That Went Awry (part 2)
…………………..
What fools these dhimmies be! More proof that no matter how cringing Infidels are to Islam, they are always going to “offend” these touchy supremacists.
This incident–beer mats–was just “offensive” in a particularly entertaining way!
And I like the proposed additional questions and the lying, Taqiyya-filled answers. You actually hear this bs all the time about things like Jizya and polygamy and “Jesus” Throw in some claptrap about how every girl got married at nine during the days of the “Prophet”, and you’re golden…
CogitoErgoSum says
Graven, have you see this video about Imam Tawhidi’s version of truth abut Aisha’s age at her marriage to Muhammad? It’s interesting to watch the reaction of the Sunni defender:
thebigW says
Tawhidi’s a Shiite, Aisha fought battles against the Shiites, Shiites often diss her–don’t make him a “reformer”, it makes us the fools for thinkin’ he is.
gravenimage says
Thanks for that, CogitoErgoSum–I hadn’t heard this claptrap from Tawhidi before. And while I’d heard the “Aisha was 19” Taqiyya before, I’d never heard that she was *29*. This is all rot, not least that clerical errors between 9, 19, and 29 would only have been possible if dark ages Arabia used “Arabic” (really, Indian) numerals at the time, which they did not. Otherwise, there is no special link between these numbers, any more than there would be between, say, nine and seventeen.
Then, it is not just the listed age–everything about this story in the Hadith emphasizes Aisha’s tender age–her father balking at marrying her off so young, even to the “Prophet”; her playing dolls with her little friends; her playing on a swing when she is called in–poor girl!–to be cleaned up and handed over to the pedophile “Prophet”.
As the unnamed Muslim scholar notes, none of Muhammed’s other wives were identified as virgins–several, in fact, had been married to other men (in some cases, men he had had killed so that he could get at them, and one his own adopted son).
Moreover, of course, the fact that child marriage is so rife in most of Dar-al-Islam is based on the model of the “Prophet Muhammed”. Efforts to raise the age of marriage for girls is often blocked by Muslim scholars.
This pedophilia is embarrassing to those trying to spread Islam in the civilized world, which is the only reason we find this Taqiyya about Aisha’s age. You don’t find this in the Muslim world at all; this is for Infidel consumption.
Benedict says
The easy questions abut Islam and the easy found, misleading answers should be replaced with proverbs from the Bible and verses from the psalms of David and quotations from the Gospels and from the letters of St. Paul. Muslims could not possibly object to that, since the text would be associated with alcohol and even stained and contaminated by this haram-proclaimed brew. So why don’t the local German administration and its policy makers show Muslims that favor in stead?
gravenimage says
Muslims hate the Bible and hate beer drinking, and neither is allowed in public in a Shari’ah state.
FYI says
Other question that muslims need to answer..
1)Why did muhammed say in a hadith about Al lah “And both of his hands are RIGHT hands”?
{Al Lah may be the pagan god of the Arabs but what sort of god has 2 right hands?}
2)How come Al Lah has only ONE leg?
3)Explain:
“Aisha came back to Asma and she told her ‘this is the underpants of the prophet..we do wash it
so the sick can be recovered by it”
{Sahih Muslim pg 1641(book of clothes) Hadith 2069}
How can underpants have healing properties?
4)In k 4:82 Al Lah gives a criterion of falsehood:if there is a contradiction in the koran then the author cannot be the Real God.
In K4:85 Al Lah ALLOWS Intercession
In 74:48 muhammed PROHIBITS intercession
K74:48 CANCELS out and contradicts k4:85{muhammed contradicts Al Lah},laughably PROVING Al lah’s criterion indicating that the koran’s author
[Al Lah “the BEST of deceivers” k3:54] is a false god and cannot be the real deal.
Isn’t that hilarious?
5) Sahih muslim 3309,Sahih Bukhari 58:236
Musnad Ahmad 16245 muhammed sucked the tongues of little boys
Al Adab Al mufrad #1183 muhammed sucked his grandson Hasan’s tongue
Bet you muslims didn’t know that..or that muhammed’s real name was apparently Qathem ibn kilab{son of dogs}
Do you notice that that behavior is typical of pedophiles?
Are you sure muhammed{APFh,allah prays for him}is the Perfect Man?
6)How does the despoliation of meat have anything to do with the Jews?
“Abu Huraira narrated,’the messenger said ..if there were no Jews,meat would not spoil”
{Sahih Bukhari vol 4 bk 55 hadith 547}
Michael Copeland says
Here is a beermat question for drinkers and brewers to ponder:
As more and more muslims colonise an area what happens to beer sales?

Westman says
I would imagine that many “moderate” Muslims are lied to or information is withheld by their own clerics about the prescriptions for violence in the Quran and Hadith. Like casual Christians, the casual Muslim is likely to only have a shallow understanding of the doctrines. Some of the Imams did poorly in debates with Robert Spencer, feigning ignorance, which was eye-opening.
I imagine many Muslims find themselves “locked in” socially and won’t take the risk to leave. It’s the zealots that are dangerous; who read the Quran and Hadith’s prescription and attitudes toward the unbelievers and take action.
gravenimage says
Sadly, though, Westman, all too many Muslims know their vicious creed all too well. If they did not, we would not have a problem with Jihad terrorism.
thebigW says
There’s one for Wellington, what Westman said: “Like casual Christians, the casual Muslim is likely to only have a shallow understanding of the doctrines” when Wellington dared me to find any Jihad Watchers who aren’t against all Muslims. How can you be against Muslims who are only “casual” and only have a”shallow understanding” of Islam? An’ why is this Westman guy assuming Muslim society has to be like modern Western Christian society, specially in a way that’s in their favor?
I’ll keep an eye out for more (which I see every damn day IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER)

CogitoErgoSum says
I’m currently reading Imam Tawhidi’s book, “The Tragedy of Islam” and have gotten to the chapter concerning the Caliph Omar (or Umar). This guy loved his alcohol before becoming a Muslim and continued to drink it to the very end of his life so that it even flowed from his stomach through the stab wounds inflicted upon him by his assassin. Muhammad and his companions sometimes seem to me like a large group headed by Moe with several clones of Larry and Curly Joe thrown into the mix — only much more violent and malevolent. Here is something that goes along with this:
http://holysahaba.blogspot.com/2012/03/umar-la-loved-alcohol.html
thebigW says
Tawhidi’s a Shiite, so of course he can say bad things about Sunnis now and then, ’cause they’re his enemies and are killing Shiites. Doesn’t make Tawhidi a reformer, but it does make us a fool for thinkin’ he is.
gravenimage says
True, thebigW. Moreover, all Shia hate Aisha. Some even believe that she poisoned Muhammed.

That’s interesting! So why do all these alcoholic muslims end up in A&E? Or is that a stupid question? While we’re at it, if the Germans can have their islamomanic beer mats in German dialects, how about some in cockney for all these muslims apparently getting plastered in London pubs? Let’s start with “Why do muslim men allow themselves four lots of Trouble and Strife?” Very appropriate? (For the uninitiated, “trouble and strife” = cockney rhyming slang for ‘wife’).

Giacomo Latta says
I’m sure Mohammed had war widows, as a result of wars he started, in mind when he came up with polygyny. As opposed to what? Not the satisfaction of the nether regions of his half-witted soldiers in a manner somewhat inferior to the endless number of wives he allowed himself to have. No, definitely not that.
Greyhound Fancier says
Muhammad married one war widow the evening after he murdered her husband before her eyes. Some prophet – may be the worst person, based on his own actions and the actions he inspired, in history.

Yes–just hideous. Besides her husband, he had also just murdered her father and brothers.

Billy Chickens says
Folks, it’s clear from Islam’s point of view that we should all just submit to Islam and become Muslims since nothing less will satisfy them. Even if we try to help them in our Western way by beer mats, it will be met with haughty arrogance. Nothing…NOTHING…will satisfy them until every last one of us is one of them.
gravenimage says
These beer mats aren’t intended to help Muslims–they are intended to whitewash Islam for Infidels.
Billy Chickens says
Whitewashing Islam for infidels IS helping Islam.
gravenimage says
Well, that’s true, Billy–but I doubt that the dhimmis behind this stupidity think that Islam is a real threat–they likely consider it to be “misunderstood”.
E T says
Billy Chickens knows what they are up to.
Sayyid Qutb, the revered, Islamic, scholar said: No political system or material power should not put hindrances in the way of teaching Islam. It should leave every individual free to accept or reject it, and if someone wants to accept it, it should not prevent him or fight against him. If someone does this, THEN IT IS THE DUTY OF ISLAM TO FIGHT HIM UNTIL EITHER HE IS KILLED OR UNTIL HE DECLARES SUBMISSION.
No doubt that was on every one of the beer mats.
Vaughn VonKriegerstein says
Two questions. What is Taqiyya? Why should I believe anything you tell me about anything? EVER!
Carolyne says
Maybe someone should have some beer mats made which look exactly like these beer mats but with different messages i.e.what is a Muslim man permitted to do if he thinks his wife might be disobedient? On the reverse, “Beat her.”. These could be delivered free of charge to pubs, perhaps with one or two of the pro Muslim mats on top. It would be extremely funny when some filthy old Muslim picked one up and read it. “What is a Muslim man permitted to do if his daughter refuses to wear a hijab?”. Answer: “Kill her.”
