Chick chaplain suspended

Teresa Darden Clapp, an ordained Christian minister and a chaplain in Rockland County, New York (my ancestral spawning grounds and current home to ComicMix columnist Denny O’Neill), was suspended for distributing Jack Chick’s religious comic books to the prisoners under her care.

The tracts refer to Muslims as idol-and devil-worshippers and portray the prophet Muhammad as a criminal and a "religious dictator."

This is not the first time Chick Publications has run into accusations of religious bigotry, having previously attacked Catholics, Jews, atheists and others in similar fashion in their sundry comics.
