Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

The Beer Mat Scheme That Went Awry (part 2)

May 25, 2019 2:00 pm By Hugh Fitzgerald

In Germany, some well-meaning souls, members of an interfaith group, Orient Network, eager to spread the ‘truth” about much-misunderstood  Islam to a most unlikely audience, came up with a scheme. They printed questions about Islam, of the Ask-A-Muslim-Anything anodyne variety,  on one side of a beer mat, and on the other side gave an internet link where the answer could be found. They took great care to consult with Muslim scholars, who told them what questions to ask, and where to find the “right” Internet site that would supply the answer. They were careful, too, even to use regional dialects, including slang, in what they wrote on the mats, for easier apprehension by their intended audience of beer-drinkers. They then distributed the beer mats to pubs and restaurants. And ever since 2016 they have been doing this, without any objection from a single Muslim, until just now, when in one small town the local Muslims objected to the use of beer mats to provide information about Islam.
The story is here:
“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.
Comment:
It appears that  Muslims in Maintal were especially thin-skinned, given that for three years these beer mats, distributed by the tens of thousands, have met with no objection from any other Muslims. They were the only ones making the very association between alcohol and Islam that they then objected to. It’s a stretch. Think of all the other conceivable uses for those mats, to advertise a local realtor, or a museum, a children’s petting zoo, or a men’s clothing store –without anyone thinking that alcohol was somehow being endorsed by those realtors, that museum, that children’s petting zoo, that clothing store..
No doubt it was believed that offering such questions-and-answers in such a setting was effective. People are sitting convivially around a table, seeing the questions every time they raise their glasses to drink. They might ask the others “what was your question?”  in the same amused inquisitive spirit with which people at a Chinese restaurant ask each other “what was your fortune?” They might tentatively  offer answers, and then check by clicking on the Internet link given on the reverse. It’s actually a very good way to have a comfortably captive audience be exposed to carefully-chosen aspects of  a sanitized Islam.
Those ask-a-muslim-anything beer mats are deplorable, but not for the reasons the Muslims in Maintal have in mind. The problem is the questions. You and I both know what kind of questions the Muslims who wrote them would come up with, and what kind of answers would be prepared in response.. Two were given in the article: “Mohammad, what was he like?” and the What is it with Muslims and pork?” We can guess, can’t we, what the answer on the Internet to the first question could  — most preposterously — be.
“Muhammad, what was he like?”
“Well,  Muhammad  was unafraid, when it proved necessary, to go to war, but it’s wrong to think of him primarily as a warrior. He loved peace and domestic tranquillity. Returning home from battle he famously said that he had returned “from the lesser to the greater Jihad.” He was a solicitous and caring husband. He was proud of his first wife, Khadija, for being a successful businesswoman, at a time when wives had so few options. His example, in supporting her in her choice of career, helped to improve the condition of other women who, in pre-Islamic Arabia, did not leave the house. Muhammad believed in the sanctity of marriage. At a time when so many men died in battle — before Muhammad established peace throughout Arabia –it made sense to permit polygyny, with one husband taking care of several wives, women who would otherwise be left alone and destitute.
Though fierce in battle, Muhammad  nonetheless showed mercy to his vanquished enemies. He believed that non-Muslims should be treated fairly, and allowed to continue to practice their religion. He took seriously Qur’an 2:256: “There is no compulsion in religion.”  All that was required of non-Muslims was the payment of a small tax which ensured that protection would be provided by the Muslims. He believed that men and women should be treated equally, in  accordance with their capacities. It’s easy to see why Muhammad became known to the people of Arabia as “the Perfect Man” (al-insan al-kamil) and “the Model of Conduct” (uswa hasana).
That, or a variation of it, is what you might find on-line, by following the link provided on the reverse of those beer mats.
Let’s try to imagine other questions that might have been asked, or may still be asked, on these beer mats, and the answers provided on-line. Here’s a starter-kit of four:
Question: “What is the Jizyah?”
Answer: The Jizyah is a tax that non-Muslims paid to support the Muslim state that protected them. It can be thought of as the equivalent of the Zakat, the charitable tax exacted on Muslims. The main difference is that the Zakat was usually more than the Jizyah, so non-Muslims were getting a good deal.
Question: How many wives can a Muslim have?
Answer: In the 7th century, the first century of Islam, polygyny — meaning one husband and several wives — made sense. There was so much internecine warfare, so many men killed in battle, that this left many women without a spouse. The solution was simple: allow a Muslim man to have several wives, so these war widows would be properly supported. Nowadays, when there is far less fighting, and so less need for a Muslim husband to support plural wives, polygyny is dying out. You will find very few Muslim men nowadays with plural wives. In some places, such as Saudi Arabia, men who are often quite wealthy and can take on the burden of supporting several wives, do so. It’s always the  woman’s free choice,  whether to become one of several wives or not. Those marriages compare favorably to  the Western epidemic of adulterous liaisons and mistresses and so on. Plural wives support each other; they are sources of strength that help keep large families united. If they did not get along, the husband would soon enough divorce the trouble-maker.
Question: “What do Muslims think of Jesus and Mary?”
Answer: Next to Muhammad, Jesus is our most revered prophet. Not many Christians know that. Nor do they know that there is a whole sira in the Qur’an about Mary; it is named after her.. While  both Jesus and Mary are revered by Muslims, many non-Muslims simply are unaware. And as for our Jewish brothers, few realize that Moses, too, is revered in Islam as a prophet. If more people understood  our reverence for Jesus, Mary, and Moses, there wouldn’t be this unhealthy, and quite misguided, dislike of Islam.
Question: Is there any antisemitism in Islam?
Answer: No, not in the accepted meaning of that term.  There are some remarks in the Qur’an against those Jews who, at the time the Qur’an was revealed, were fighting the Muslims. These were not meant to be remarks about Jews for all time and in every place, but only about those who, in Arabia, violently rejected Muhammad and his message, and attacked the Muslims unceasingly and without warning.  Of course, our present-day quarrel with the Jews of Israel is not religious but political: we believe that they have taken land from the Palestinians that did not belong to them, and we think it should be given back. That’s the whole quarrel. Muslims are deeply saddened by the Holocaust, but do not think the Palestinians ought to be made to pay the price for how Europeans mistreated the Jews. Muslim Arabs had nothing to do with any of that.
Those are a few questions that are likely to be found on those beer mats, with the kind of plausible and mendacious answers that could be supplied on-line.
Beer mats have been an effective propaganda tool, offering softball questions on  Islam, and wildly misleading answers, for the past three years. .Muslims in many areas of Germany found nothing wrong with them. Now the Muslims in one town, Maintal, object, not to the questions or answers,, but to the mere fact that beer mats have been the vehicle of dissemination and, so thy complain, a  link is being made between Islam, which forbids alcohol, and beer.  You and I object, too, to these beer mats,  for we know exactly what kinds of bland questions will be asked, and what kinds of taqiiyya-laden answers will be given.
So just for fun, let’s compose our own questions for those beer mats. Answers, if you need them, can easily be found online:

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.

        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

          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.

      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.

        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.”

    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

      May 25, 2019 at 4:47 pm

      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

        May 26, 2019 at 12:42 pm

        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

        May 26, 2019 at 2:07 pm

        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.

  4. Benedict says

    May 25, 2019 at 2:39 pm

    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

      May 25, 2019 at 3:01 pm

      Muslims hate the Bible and hate beer drinking, and neither is allowed in public in a Shari’ah state.

  5. FYI says

    May 25, 2019 at 4:01 pm

    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}

    Question on the beer mat: “Mohammed, what was he like?”

    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

      May 25, 2019 at 9:57 pm

      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.

      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’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:

      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.

    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.

      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.

    13. Why is there no bacon, or at least sausage, served with this beer?

    Any self-respecting beer-drinker has now got ALL the answers he needs about Islam. lol

    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.

      These beer mats aren’t intended to help Muslims–they are intended to whitewash Islam for Infidels.

        Whitewashing Islam for infidels IS helping Islam.

          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”.

    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.

    Two questions. What is Taqiyya? Why should I believe anything you tell me about anything? EVER!

    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.”
