to promote its canneda series of advertising trading cardsbeef extract and bouillon cubes) issued

hundreds of different designs issued by thebeef extract products. The 1928 card set (one of

) illustrated six different pivotal points inany over the years, on various themescompMohammed's life. The most beautiful of the cards was the second one, seen here, which showed

Certain towns in southern Spain hold an annual festival called " Moros y Cristianos" ("Moors andChristians"), which celebrates the Reconquista -- the recapture of the Iberian Peninsula by

Christian Spaniards from the Muslim colonizers who had invaded centuries earlier. In some

locales, at the climax of the festival, townspeople burn Mohammed in effigy. The Mohammedfigure, called La Mahoma, is usually bigger than life-size and in full costume. The picture here

Zombietime reader David B. also sends these photos of Confutopia members performing atHsuan Chuang University in 2008. The group photo features students portraying (from left to

Muhammad. The large photo on the left is a close-up of the actor portraying Mohammed; noticethe golden crescent and star (the symbol of Islam) on his chest, despite his odd headgear.

This picture from a Scientology book for volunteer ministers is quite similar to the Confutopiaimage (seen above); both show Mohammed as one among several famous spiritual leaders

throughout history. In this picture, a Scientologist (on the left) towers over (in order, left to right)

Mohammed, Jesus, Confucius, Buddha, Lao-Tzu, Zoroaster, Moses and Abraham. (The lastfigure is not named, but may be Adam.) Higher level Scientology materials explain how

Scientology is superior to all other religions (including Islam), because they are nothing more

than "engrams" falsely implanted in our minds.(Hat tip: Anonymous Japan.)
