A friend emailed me this comic, which I share with you with some thoughts of mine…
Seriously? Muhammad actually ordered his followers to drink camel pee?? That's news to me! I looked up the hadith to verify what it actually says. And guess what? See it for yourself: here's the full hadiths:
Don't you get it? Let's see what the Wikipedia has to say.
According to Wikipedia, the urine therapy was a form of alternative medicine in several ancient cultures.
See! Now is what I call ‘Alternative Medicine’. This was just as silly and kooky then, as it is now???
People are advised against drinking urine because it might—besides just being plain old gross—give them rashes (so caution is very necessary, please don’t take this as serious stuff!). Or, as in the case of the ‘Ukl/‘Uraina tribes, it might even cause….urine madness!!! (A New threat to mankind’s extinction, other than the weird viruses that plague us…).
The hadith continues, "So they went as directed and after they became healthy, they killed the shepherd of the Prophet and drove away with all the camels."
‘Hahahahah… good riddance to cleaver thinkers!’ The pee-drinkers turned into pee-zombies and killed a guy. Then they chased away the camels, which is dumb, considering that’s where their “medication” is coming from??? Now how did the good prophet react to all of this? With vengeance, of course!
"...The news reached Muhammad early in the morning and he sent his men (sahibahs) in their hot pursuit and they were captured and brought at noon. Muhammad then ordered to cut off their hands and feet (and it was done), and as well their eyes were branded with heated pieces of iron rods. They were put in ‘Al-Harrah’ and when they asked for water; no water was given to them”, till they died of extreme thirst!!!
Did you catch all of that? One more time, in bulleted form:
Anyway, here’s what seems more likely to me. Muhammad told the tribe to drink the “medicine” and they believed him... They believed him enough to drink warm camel milk (desert, remember???) mixed with warm camel pee. This did nothing for their climate woes, and they realized just how crappy Muhammad was! They got pissed (no pun intended…), killed the shepherd and chased away the camels in revenge. And you know the rest...
And with that, I’m off to make a pee-milkshake to cure my aching butt cheeks. I had one of those killer workouts yesterday that left everything from the waist down sore. Hurt real bad... need a real good Mojo remedy...

Narrated Abu Qilabah:Hmmmm interesting…. Muhammad ordered a tribe to drink camel milk-n-pee smoothie as remedy to cure their aversion to dryness?
Anas said, “Some people of ‘Ukl or ‘Uraina tribe came to Medina and its climate did not suit them. So the Prophet ordered them to go to the herd of (Milch) camels and to drink their milk and urine (as a medicine)...

• Mojo had the tribe captured.Wow! Just wow!!! And in case you’re thinking maybe Muhammad wasn’t such a nice guy after all, the hadith ends with some good old-fashioned enabling:
• Mojo had their hands and feet cut off.
• Mojo branded their eyes with hot iron rods.
• Mojo dumped them in Al-Harrah (a large volcanic field near the Jordanian border)…
• Thirst… with no water! So they can’t even make more piss to drink.
Abu Qilabah said, “Those people committed theft and murder, became infidels after embracing Islam and fought against Allah and His Apostle.”It’s never Muhammad’s fault when he has to torture and murder someone. He always has a justification: it’s their fault, it’s always their fault!
