Four Non-Evil and Humane Inventions of Mohammed (Peace be Upon Him)
It goes without saying that this is tongue in cheek, and not meant to denigrate anyone's beliefs. It should go without saying, given the frequency with which I make fun of my own faith and culture. And yet, since I'm making jokes about something from the outside this time, it may be appropriate to emphasize that this was written in the spirit of silliness.
I went with the horribly overt stereotype strategy so that hopefully no one would confuse a comic with an actual thought-out commentary on an entire religion.

"Ooh!" said Susan, "I'd thought he was a man. Is he--quite safe? I shall feel rather nervous about meeting a lion."
"That you will, dearie, and no mistake," said Mrs. Beaver, "if there's anyone who can appear before Aslan without their knees knocking, they're either braver than most or else silly."
"Then he isn't safe?" said Lucy.
"Safe?" said Mr. Beaver. "Don't you hear what Mrs. Beaver tells you? Who said anything about safe? 'Course he isn't safe. But he's good. He's the King, I tell you."
