Oh No, Not The Easter Bunny!

March 24, 2015

The Muslim Council of Australia has now declared Cadbury candies to be Halal (permitted). Cadbury, the maker of scrumptious chocolate, is now on the permitted list for Muslim consumption. Here is where the story takes a weird twist. Cadbury makes the foil wrapped, cream filled, Easter eggs which are sold all over the English-speaking world. And now apparently Muslims can buy and consume these chocolate Easter eggs. It seems that even the Easter Bunny must abide by the permission of Sharia Law.

Does anyone other than me find this to be ironic? Muslims do not believe in Easter. Their Imams forbid them to take part in celebrations of Christmas and Easter.

It is very interesting to see how the Koran views Jesus. Jesus, or Issa as he is referred to in Koran, appears over 40 times. Jesus is just a third-rate prophet in Islam. He does not begin to approach the magnitude of Mohammed. Jesus is not the Son of God. Allah cannot have a son. Nor did Jesus die upon the Cross. Here is where Mohammed gets a little quirky. Jesus and Judas looked a like. In a real switcheroo Judas is crucified and dies on the cross. Jesus goes back home and lives a long life. He dies a natural death at a ripe old age. There is really no Easter to celebrate without a resurrection. Thus in one fell swoop Mohammed destroys the uniqueness of Christ, the Atonement and the Resurrection. So Jesus in the Koran becomes an Islamic prophet. Jesus, as defined by the Koran, is a Muslim, but he is not the final revelation of Allah, that hallowed spot is reserved for Mohammed. After all Mohammed is the perfect man, worthy of emulation by all Muslims.

It is self-evident from the Koran that Mohammed is superior to Jesus. I guess Jesus was just not violent enough for Mohammed.

Back to the central thesis of this blog. What effect will Sharia have on the Easter Bunny? Perhaps under the divine guidance of Sharia the Easter Bunny will morph into the Mohammed Bunny. Then Muslim terrorists around the world will find chocolate Cadbury eggs in their Mohammed baskets (along with bombs, guns and suicide vests).
