Islam actually outright prohibits the consumption of alcohol. There are various verses about it, actually, one of which only prohibits praying when drunk. Another one prohibits all intoxicants entirely, calling them tools of Satan. Another one says that the bad sides of alcohol outweigh the good so you really shouldn't drink.

Even so, the Koran is not friendly to alcohol and Islamic states often forbid it entirely. Which, as was said, doesn't always accomplish much because some Muslims drink anyway. It isn't a deadly sin level transgression and Allah isn't going to drat you forever because you took a shot of whiskey once but Muhammad was pretty specific about "alcohol = bad."

For high-level Islamic love of wine, ~~women~~ boys, and song, check out Abu Nuwas.

As for the headscarf thing, it's been interpreted a number of ways, but they generally agree that you're fine as long as skin is covered. So fancy scarves and skin-tight clothing is a-okay.

I'm trying to recall the particular comic you're referring to, but I'm at a loss.

No idea which one that was, but looking for it turned up a PA that's pretty much "CRITICS OF VIDYA GAMES :argh:

They really didn't like Roger Ebert apparently.

E: vvv wow, that is confrontational.

As well as being used as ersatz sex toys, cucumbers are also used by researchers to compare the erectness of penises (alongside bananas and tofu)

Any citations? Just curious because that sounds hilarious.

Not sure how I'm supposed to react to this one.

Responding will be a vicious attack that will feed their persecution complex, so... the only winning move is not to react.
E: unless it's to unfriend.

Doesn't that count as a legit mental illness though? If you're convinced you are infested with insects/parasites/fibers? It sounds pretty disturbing for the patient if they genuinely believe it. Not like they are just making something up to pull bullshit on their friends/families.

It already exists, it's known as delusional parasitosis. It's quite nasty, and sufferers tend to not contact psychiatrists (because that would make them delusional), but rather exterminators and entomologists. There's no need for a bullshit new name or claiming it's a plague unleashed by the New World Order.
