Weapon-mention as political statement?

Perhaps the little pieces of time between bullets? A yiddish dt? Given
just the right quantum flux, might dilate into a universe?

 Take that, Mohammed- yibble, yibble, yibble...

It is not (an anti-Muslim statement/allusion).

For those who do not have a copy around, I give the context quote from 
V:
 
"'Yibble, yibble, yibble', he would go, squinting malevolent along the 
sights, 'got
you dead center, Abdul Sayid. Yibble, yibble, Muslim pig'. Da Conho's 
machine gun
was the only one in the world that went yibble yibble." (Picador UK 
1975, pp. 22-3).
 
So now I ask you, Michael:  Do you really think that Vineland's 
mentioning of the Uzi
is an anti-Muslim statement?
 
Personally I do not think so.
 
Anybody else?
