WELL, according to a newly-launched “lifestyle magazine” for Muslims in Australia, baby kangaroos are born praying to Allah.

The cover of Hijrah magazine

Although it’s the cover story on the latest issue of Hijrah, and is entitled “How the Kangaroo was born Making Tesbeeh to Allah”, we were unable to access the article itself to discover the reasoning behind this mind-boggling revelation.

If anyone out there can provide the text, please send it to us.

The Australian Islamist Monitor says:

Since the dawn of time, animals have been both revered and demonised by humans. Some were viewed as bringing luck and others pestilence and other such ills. But this begs the question, what religious practices do our native Australian animals adhere to?

In the light of the Hijrah feature, it wonders:

Does this mean that all marsupials follow in Allah’s path from birth, or do they follow some other practice altogether?

One of the more amusing comments below the AIM post came from Red Rose:

A dog pictured "praying" in a Buddhist temple

The only animals I could imagine that might pray to Allah would be camels. Possibly indocrinated by early Afghan settlers. Other Aussie animals might worship Allah as there is a resemblence between male Mohammedans and male animals. They harbour a propensity to copulate with every female in sight and father hordes of offspring … I really don’t think Aussie animals worship Allah. They have more sense. They are not stupid.

By the way, the new magazine is appealing for contributions from Muslims across globe. In the light of the sheer barminess of its baby kangaroo feature, what articles do you suggest Hijrah should publish in future editions?

To the person submitting the funniest suggestion goes the prize of a year’s free subscription to the print edition of the Freethinker. Closing date for entries is February 11.

    By the way, I distinctly remember my RE teacher at school telling us with great authority that animals don’t have souls and can’t go to heaven. So it can’t be true about the kangaroos, can it. Because everybody knows that only christianity has the answers and that the rest of them are all deluded and making it up as they go along.

  25. Do kagaroos have prayer rugs? Do they take time each day to pray toward Mecca? I have never heard of one packing around a Quran. And while humans require indoctination, head banging while reciting the Quran, these animals are instinctually born with the brainwash. Sadly, most of them will never experience the joy of wearing a suicide belt. Are there virgin kagaroos in heaven waiting to greet those rare martyrs, the ones who threw themselves in front of the infidel vehicles? Take that!!! I bent the shit out of your grill!!!! Allah be praised.

    Dear Mo

    Cutting a earthworm in half, gives you two earthworms,
    are they both Muslim, and if not which Earthworm is the
    Muslim, the head or the arsehole?

    No muslims as fish Bait

    Dear NMAFB

    They are both muslims, because if you mix them up,
    you can’t tell which one has is the brain and which
    one is the arsehole. They both act exactly the same.
