Parody Written by:

The Lyrics

The Christian and the Muslim should be friends.
Oh, the Christian and the Muslim should be friends.
One builds towers of renown, the other likes to knock them down,
But that’s no reason why they can’t be friends.

Folks of both beliefs should be more chummy,
Folks of both beliefs should break some bread.
Christian prays for the Muslim’s torment,
Muslim prays for the Christian’s head.

I’d like to have a word with the Christian:
You came out here and talked about elections

You came out here and killed a lot of young men,

Now no one’s left to vote or get erections.

The Muslim doesn’t drink or crave a pork chop; five times a day he kneels and faces Mecca.
He’s so devout he had a circumcision

God is great, but not the Muslim’s pecker.

But the Christian and the Muslim should be friends.
Oh, the Christian and the Muslim should be friends.
The Christian loves a good Crusade, the Muslim likes his clogs blue suede, and that’s the reason why they can’t be friends.

Crescent and the Cross should stick together,
Arab and the Yankee both have guts.
Yankee and Arab smoke a Camel,
Arab and Yank should share their butts.

Let’s have a few good words for the Christian, back home his lousy job paid just a trifle.
He sleeps upon the soil with a rifle for a goil.

And that’s no way to treat your trusty rifle!

The Muslim should be welcoming to the Christian if he comes by and asks to play some catch.
It’s simply Q.E.D. not to throw an I.E.D.

But if you do, first light it with a match!

Water and oil can’t stick together,
Water and oil must separate.
Only one thing can be agreed to:
Jews are the folks that they both hate.

Thanks "Loyle," but damn it, this is MY parody, not a tech manual. If I want to throw an I.E.D., I'll throw an I.E.D. If the well-known creep gives me a reason why that doesn't work as parody, let him speak up under his own name.

I guess you could "plant" an IED in the same number of syllables. But there is nothing inherent in the term that limits how it may be delivered to its target. And, according to the late and unlamented Fred Phelps, God loves the "blasted" things. You make some good points. I am not familiar with the original song, but I have seen a lot of parodies on the subject of Islam vs Christianity vs the Jews. A legitimate topic, and far more interesting than the excrement and bodily fluids that seem to fascinate some of the writers here. And, Patrick is my real name.

Al; You've written a catchy, clever and amusing parody of a song taken from a fantasy-musical. Can't understand why many commenters care whether you correctly portray the specifics of modern weapons; Shows how many comments on this site are tangential to its main purpose, and to the art of parody. But, maybe I'm feeling bruised by the comments on my own submission. .

Giorgio, you have put your finger on one of the things that has all but ruined this site: namely, the lack of knowledge/concept of what the purpose of parody is. Sad. And scary. I'd fear meeting some of the commenters above

Half a dozen comments from the same IP all with different names. I really don't care for that nonsense.

As opposed to all the other vets all over AIR using pseudonyms with the same or multiple IPs to attack others?
Phil Alexander - May 21, 2014 - Report this comment
??? - you know this how exactly?
Hey, Chucky - I've seen the film "The Net".. if you've got the IP address, that means you can bring up their photo, right? ;-)

Maybe need to change this to Catholics, not Christians... no Christian likes crusades, and Christ taught love your enemies etc. Only Catholicicism, which purposely ignores Christ's teachings, has carried out murders in the name of their religion.

The author of the parody has authorized comments, and wants YOUR feedback.
