Muslim comedians prepares to unleash its satirical jihad on the Bible Belt

[SecularMotion]

Dear Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey, Murfreesboro anti-mosque activist Laurie Cardoza-Moore and Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain: We've been pretty hard on you in these pages and on our blogs, chastising you for your blatant Islamophobia and laughing at your absurd contention that Sharia law could be imposed in the U.S. in a matter of years. But maybe we've been rash. Here you've been attempting to whip us into a frenzy, warning us that the Muslims are coming, and we've done nothing but mock you.

And now, it turns out you're right. The Muslims really are coming to Middle Tennessee. And the latest weapon in their terrorist arsenal? Stand-up comedy.

1. Great joke!

"I just read the other day that David Duke, the former Klan guy, might run for the Republican nomination for president," he says. "And all I could think was, 'Finally, a moderate!' "

3. Jokes from Egypt...

Unfortunately, this first one requires the Ultimate Joke-Killer, an explanation. "Islam is the solution" is the offical slogan of the Muslim Brotherhood, and Egyptians really get tired of hearing it, seeing it plastered everywhere on signs, etc. That was especially true where I lived, in Alexandria, which has a large population of educated, liberal Muslims.

For all their ostentatious holiness, many Egyptians (that I talked to, anyway) simply see the MB as one more bunch of posturing politicians who want to get into power and line their pockets.

Finally, the joke:

The wife of an Egyptian imam (a Muslim cleric) complained bitterly to the neighbors that her husband only made love to her once a month.

But she really hit the roof when a friend mentioned that her husband - also an imam - made love to her as often as he prayed - 5 times a day.

When the husband of the first wife came home that night, he found that his wife had plastered their apartment with signs saying: "Islam is the solution!"

Another local joke, which helps explain why Egypt recently had a revolution:

A German, an Englishman, and an Egyptian were in an art museum, looking at a painting of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.

The German said: "Look at the perfection of their bodies! She with her slender and well formed figure, and he with that athletic body and bulging muscles! There is no doubt - Adam and Ever were German."

The Englishman disagrees: "Impossible! Note the serenity on their faces, their delicate poise. They could only be English."

The Egyptian says: "Look closer: they don't have clothes, they don't have shoes, and they don't even have shelter. All they have is one lousy apple to eat, but eating the apple is prohibited! And they still think they are in Paradise? They are definitely Egyptian."

And finally:

On the sixth day God turned to the Angels and said:
"Today I am going to create a land called Egypt.
It will be a land of outstanding natural beauty.
It shall have a beautifully river cutting through rich green fields,
high cliffs overlooking sandy beaches with an abundance of sea life."
God continued, "I shall make the land rich to make the inhabitants prosper.
I shall call these inhabitants Egyptians, and they shall be known as the luckiest people on Earth."
"But Lord," asked the Angels, "don't you think you are being too generous to these Egyptians? Isn't it unfair for the rest of the world?"
"Not really," replied God. "Just wait and see what neighbors I am going to give them."

You can find a lot more on the Internetz, including Egyptian ethnic jokes, which are mainly directed at Saidis - people from Upper (Southern) Egypt. The word Saidi is pretty much synonymous with our "rube," "hick," or "redneck."

4. LOL

Interestingly, I have heard both of the last two jokes, but with other protagonists. I heard the last one almost identically, but with Israel as the protagonists with bad neighbours (tit-for-tat on one side or the other?) and the second one with Adam and Eve turning out to be Russians (of the Soviet era). I've never heard the first one, though - snort!
