Jordanian Prime Minister Hani Mulki has ordered an investigation of writer Nahed Hattar for violating a law against contempt of religion. Hattar shared on Facebook a cartoon depicting a bearded man in Heaven ordering God around. Hatter said it satirized the view Islamic terrorists have of Heaven and God and was not meant to mock God.

“Those who became angry at the cartoon are the kind of people who did not get the point,” Hattar said, adding that Islamists with a Daesh- like ideology are using the cartoon to settle political scores.

Meanwhile, several Twitter users called for legal action to be taken against the writer, tweeting using the hashtag “Nahed Hattar does not represent us” in Arabic.

“He should be imprisoned. We will not accept anything other than this”, tweeted Nart Mola (@nmola).

This cartoon’s impact. Its utility. It’s their version of Friday Funnies!

Is this part of that Arab spring I keep hearing about? The rest of the ME is turning into an islamist shithole, why not Jordan too?

I suspect that history will look back and see Obumbles legacy as turning the middle east into hell on earth.

Yeah but the seedy part of purgatory where you lock the doors and don’t stop at stop signs.

He is proving that things can always get worse.

One might wonder: If God is so great, why does He need the likes of the Jordanian Prime Minister to defend Him?

Verily, a Divine Mystery.

Of course, I kid! Everyone knows God helps those who help themselves!

That’s the motto of the Clinton foundation.

It depends on what the meaning of the word “God” is.

Bearded clam makes more sense.

That barley makes sense.

God being bossed around by a woman? Are you married?
