The Malaysian car-builder Proton is going to develop an “Islamic car“:
The car could boast special features like a compass pointing to Mecca and a dedicated space to keep a copy of the Koran and a headscarf.
Other suggestions could be a DNA ignition system to allow only those with XY chromosomes to start the engine, and handy door pockets for insertion of explosives prior to visiting Iraqi markets for the Saudi/Syrian markets. It is not known if there is going to be a hybrid Shiite/Sunni variant. Dr Mahathir Mohamad is an advisor to Proton. He famously said:
They [the Jews] survived 2000 years of pogroms not by hitting back, but by thinking. They invented and successfully promoted Socialism, Communism, human rights and democracy so that persecuting them would appear to be wrong, so they may enjoy equal rights with others. With these they have now gained control of the most powerful countries and they, this tiny community, have become a world power.
Readers may wish to leave their own ideas for alternative sectarian cars in the comments. Perhaps the Church of England car could have an automatic jumble sale function? An evangelical car could have a rapture safety function and Tribulation detector to protect passengers if the driver was taken by the Lord. There is nothing more embarrassing than being transubstantiated into a spirit form and finding you are responsible for a fatal pile-up on Interstate 45.
Note: Rapture Ready provides a pictorial guide to candidates for the position of anti-christ. Three out of ten are British in origin, showing that the UK continues to punch above its weight in the international arena.
