Is GEICO Islamophobic?

Everybody knows that cute GEICO mascot, right?



Well, it turns out that Moslems hate geckos. Really. Why? Because geckos are infidels, of course.

Another astoundingly weird fact about Islam:
[Ex-Muslim] Rashid recently examined the theological implications of Muhammad's hatred for the gecko lizard, which the prophet accused of being "an infidel and enemy of the believers." Muslims who kill it in the first strike receive 100 "heavenly-points," whereas those who kill it in two strikes receive only 70.
Now for something really disgusting:
More graphically, [Coptic priest] Fr. Zakaria recently examined canonical hadiths (authenticated Muslim accounts) that record Islam's first believers eating Muhammad's feces, marinating food in his sweat, drinking the water he gargled and spit out, and smearing his phlegm all over their faces—all to his approval.
As Raymond Ibrahim's essay concludes:
[S]illy cartoons of Muhammad are the least of Muslims' problems.

Bless the gecko, now we know the end of the commercial. He's not Australian or British

The gecko is Israeli.

Back when I lived there, New Yorkers used to buy geckos if they had cockroach problems. The geckos would hang out under the refrigerator and come out at night to crunch roaches.

RRA,
Lizards are indeed good cockroach control.

And so are some cats.

I have one cat that will not tolerate insects in the house.

Damien,

I think so. Seriously. Certifiable, in fact.

Damien,
The Krayon is nothing. Read the Hadith, and yes, you will be convinced Mohammed was insane.
