script 1

rms appears wearing a turban or something incredibly stereotypically islamic

panel #1
esr: when did you convert to islam?
rms: just now, and just for this strip
esr: well, i won't allow it. I'm currently in a war to defend civilization against Islamic barbarians
rms: we aren't bararians

panel #2
esr: whatever. until you can stand up in your mosque and declaim that religious violence is an abomination against Allah, you can shut the fuck up about your so-called ‘religion of peace’
rms: actually, many muslims believe that violence is only permissible when they are threatened by an aggressor

panel #3
esr got his guns out
rms: ...now that i mention it, it sounds a lot like your philosophy
esr: you best stop right there, or I will find a way to make you regret it.  Watch your step
or
esr: Step off, muthafucker! (suggested by Jim Thompson)
