I think that trying to make a joke of the Muslim faith is a pretty underhanded way of curtailing the real issues surrounding the Gitmo situation. "Isn't their religion JUST SO SILLY? WE respect women! Unless it comes to abortion, in which case we should be making decisions for them!"
It's not about whose religion is more ridiculous, it's about international treaties regarding the treatment of POWs, the right to a trial (or at least the right to know what you're being charged with), and basic human decency.
It's like saying, "You know what's wrong with PETA? Those crazy Birkenstock sandals! I mean, come on people!" Sure, it may be true, but it has nothing to do with the issue at hand, and serves only to distract the populace from it (a skill perfected by our current administration).
