PROMINENT CHARACTERISTICS,
or differences from the west:
Christians worship God; Musselmans
Allah. Christians go to church; Mussel
n ans to mosque. Churches have steeples:
mosques, minerets. Churches face the east;
mosques, the south. Christians GO to
church and look to the cross; Musselmen
20 10 mosque and look to the caabla A
Christian honors his church, by undressing
his head; Musselmau his mosque, by IN
dressing his feet a Christian chapel has
fine pews and bare benches; a Moham-
medan mosque. the bare floor and fine mats.
A Christian sits in church: a Musselman
stands up in the mosque A Christian
gentleman never goes to church only on
important occasions; Mohammedan lady
never goes to mosque except on special
events. A Christian gentleman always
loves TO see women at his church; Il Mo
hammedan gentleman never likes to see
them at his mosque. Rich and poor Chris
uans do not often mix at church; rich and
poor MusSelmanS always do so at mosque.
Ia other words, churches have their re
served or hired places; mosques have
none A Christian praYS loud, so that his
fellOwmcu may hear: MuSselmau prayS
low, so that they may not hear. The Chris
tian prays looking up: the Musselman
looking down. The Christian prays hold
ing his hands up; the Musseman holding
them down. Most Of Christians do not
pray at all, to get at work; most of Mussel-
mans pray many times day, to get out OF
work Christians sing at church; Mussel-
ngans do not at mosque. Christians pray
8ittle and preach much; Musselmans preach
-Iittle and pray much. Christians invite
sinners and unbelieVers to come into their
to enter their mosques. A Chris
tan has his dead Jerusalem:
a MuSSeman his live Mecca
Christians have the Bible: Musselmaus the
Koran. The Bible reads from left to right:
the Koran from right to left,
THE BIBLE BEGINS
in the front of the book; the Koran, in the
back of the book. Or in the words of a
Mohammedan HyJhd (priesD with whom ]
lately argued: ''The Musselmens book be
gins right: the Christians, wrong Qeft.)n
Christians desire to either sell or give the
Bible TO unbelievers; Mussalmans will
neither give nor sell the Koran to unbe
levers Christians desire the Bible pub
lished in many languages; Musselmans the
Koran in but one (the Arabian) language.
The Bible has divisions of chapter and
verse: the Koran has none The Bible Is
written by man. but inGited by God; the
Koran is written by God $50 Musselmans
say, but indited by man(so | say Chris
tans send out many missionaries to preach
the Bible: MusselmanS send Very few TO
preach the Koran. Christian missionaries
are always highly learned: the Mohamme-
dan missionaries poorly learned. Chris
ti2ns spend much money for missionary
york; MussclmanS, very little. And yet,
strange to say, Christian converts are very
few: Mohammedan converts, very many,
4 f1.ip /
argue: THE Christian religion must be
very bad: and the Mohammedan religion
very good The Christian governments
rule the churches: the MOhammedan
churches rule the governments. Christians
have many sectS: MOhammedans very few.
\ Christian wears head dress with
brim: a Musselman one without brim y
Christian gentleman wears pants; a Mo
hammedan gown. \ Christian walks:
Musselman Waddles. A Christian turns
his toes out: Musselman turns MS toes
in. A Christian has straight legs; Mus
sclman bow legs, brought on by singular
custom of bandaging while young to give
more freedom in the crotch, and by cOatin-
ual sitting crOsslegged on the floor.
CHRISTIANS WHEN WALKING OR DRIVING,
turn to the right; Muss elmans to the left.
Christians have but one wife and many
public prostitutes; Musselmans have many
y wives and no public prostitutes. A rlcn
christian has his hired mistresses; a rich
Musselman his hired men. A Christian
greatly hOnOrs woman, but does not fear
her; a Musselman fears her. but greatly
diShOnOrS her. The Christian loves to show
his pretty wife; the Musselman hides his.
The Christian and his wife occupy the
same sitting room; the Musselman and his
WIVES have separate rooms y Christian
wife may call her husband jack a Mo
hammedan wife must call hers cfeRdi Qord.)
The Christian wife can sit on her husbands
lap: the Mohammedan wife must sit at her
husbands feet The Christian wife
smOoths her husbands beard: the MOham-
medan wife washes her CfendtS feet. The
Christian wife looks up with loving eyes:
the Mohammedan wife casts her eyes down
with modest looks. a good Christian loves
ID be at home rather than at his club room;
the Musselman loves to be at his cafe,
rather than at home The Christian gen
tleman loves his family with open love: the
Mohammedan gentleman loves his with
secret love. Many Christian gentleman
drink intOxicants; few Mohammedan gen
tlemen do so. The Christian gentlemen
smoke very short pipes: the Mohammedan
gentlemen very long pipes. Christian
women do not smoke; MOhammedan women
do. Most of Christian women have big
feet; most of Mohammedan women little
feet. Christian women wear shoes with
long tops: Mohammedan women low-topped
shoes or slippers. Christian women wear
stockings with stripes running around the
leg: Mohammedan women, with the stripes
running up and down the leg. Christian
women love dresses cut low in the neck
with extra long skirts: MOhammedan
women, extra short skirts with the neck
cut so high that it hides the face.
CHRISTIAN WOMEN WEAR coRsETs
and have small waists; Mohammedan
women wear no cOrscts and have large
waists. Christian women pad; Moham-
= medan women do not. Christian women
& love white teeth and finger nails; MOham-
, medan women red teeth and finger nails.
So. the Christian women paint white; the
Mohammedan women dye red. Christian
women ride horseback al FrdHcdiSC: the
Mohammedan women ride donkey back
al a Ardb. So of course. a Christian lady
must have her own saddle; a Mohammedan
lady can use her husbands Christian
ladies have pretty faces; Mohammedan
ladies have-well they have got pretty
faces, too; but a Christian lady loves to
show her pretty face to man. always being
Z very modest with her feet and legs: a
Mohammedan lady much dislikes showing
her pretty face to man, and is extremely
careless with her feet and legs. a Chris
tian woman's tongue is poison to be listened
to: a Mohammedan wOman's tongue is
poison to be seen. Christian women go out
riding or walking with men; Mohammedan
women with women and eunuchs Chris
