It’s a shame really-- the Bee started out with some decent satire but they got sold and went full con dumbass. Early example of an article:
In 2017, Hurricane Harvey battered Houston, Texas, causing widespread flooding. In that context, The Babylon Bee satirically criticized televangelist Joel Osteen with a headline that read: “Joel Osteen Sails Luxury Yacht Through Flooded Houston to Pass Out Copies Of Your Best Life Now”.

That could be to make it extra ironic.
American conservatives are typically anti Islam, so it puts a point on how strange it is that they would support him.
But, I wouldn’t rule out that they were using it derogatorily, either. Especially if it’s a trend with them, I’m not familiar with the site.
