U.S. Muslim comedy tour hits Deep South

(CNN) – The Muslims are Coming is a comedy tour that is traveling to small towns throughout the South in hopes of opening up a discussion about Muslim stereotypes.

The tour started in Gainesville, Florida, home of Terry Jones, the pastor who attracted international headlines by burning a Quran, and stopped in Lawrenceville, Georgia, outside Atlanta, on Tuesday night. It will continue to Alabama and conclude in Tennessee.

The shows feature comedians Dean Obeidallah, Negin Farsad, Maysoon Zayid and Omar Elba. They are targeting small, conservative towns in the South where controversies over Islam have erupted.

“We came to the South because it has this reputation of being intolerant. It has this stereotype of hating other groups, so we wanted to see,” Farsad said. “We have a feeling that they’re not actually uniformly sitting around hating Muslims.”

Why did Moohammod rape a 9 year-old?

...because he’s an animal! (cymbal crash) See, I’m cool with it.

There is nothing even remotely funny about Islam. it is pure evil. “By their fruits you will know them.”

I have to express Linda the Dog’s anal glands that night, so I won’t be attending.

This happens occasionally with doggies. It is what it is.

HUH? So you decided to do a comedy tour to combat intolerance.....because of a sterotype about the south?? Yeah that will go over real well.......Hope they don’t mind the guy drinking smuggled beer and pork rinds in the front row!! LOL (I would rather go see Larry the Cable guy myself...Git R Done!)

“We came to the South because it has this reputation of being intolerant."

Only a real bucktoothed moron would go see these muzzies after that shot. Kind of like saying muzzies have a reputation of flying planeloads of innocent Americans into buildings.

great posts.

this comedy tour is pure taquiyya. this is straight out of the M.B.’s plan.

and many have read the Quran, but few read the Sira, the life of the Prophet. VERY educuational !!!

Mohammad is said to be the “perfect” man who should be EMULATED. but he did more than have sex with a 9 year old child (and “thigh” her from age 6). like:
raping a woman who’s husband had just been killed at his orders... is outright evil. and he personally did that.
(and the literature also talks about his playing with his wives WHILE they were on their periods...)

torturing two men (merchants, not soldiers), with FIRE,
to make them tell where their valuables were.

ordered a mother murdered in her own bed, near her children, because she wrote verses MOCKING Mohammad...
(what does the prophet of God need with “booty” ?!?)

...and Mohammad OWNED a black slave.
i’m sure that would be popular for humor among black audiences in the South...

” However, at least 28 million Africans were enslaved in the Muslim Middle East. ... it is believed that the death toll from the 14 centuries of Muslim slave raids into Africa could have been over 112 million. “

Most comedians do a significant amount of self-deprecating humor. They make light of their families, their culture and their religion. Somehow I doubt these comedians are doing that.

We have all heard the Jewish mother stereotype. Somehow I don't think we will hear the Muslim father stereotype from these comedians.

Q. What is the difference between the Prophet Muhammad and Michael Jackson? A. One is a pedophile child rapist and the other recorded six platinum albums. Q. Why don’t Muslims eat pork? A. The Koran forbids cannibalism. Q. Why do Arab men wear dirty bed sheets? A. Because a camel can hear the sound of a zipper from a mile away. Q. What’s the difference between Mecca and a bowl of yogurt?
 A. The yogurt has a living culture. Q. How do you get a Muslim out of a shower? A. Turn the water on. THANK YOU TIP YOUR WAITRESS!

Well then, let's just see how ignorant and intolerant the Saudi's are and send a group of Jewish comedians on tour to Mecca.

That's odd, it just occurred to me that in all my time in the Arab middle east, I never saw a Muslim laugh.

Come to think of it, I have never seen an Muslim convenience store clerk smile.

“So, when I was chasing my sister for the wind showing her ankle under burkha, I said ‘don’t run, you’ll just die tired!’ Well, my father, uncle and brother laughed so hard they dropped their knives! (laughter)”

creative.
...but not funny, after you’ve seen a woman, literally
(LITERALLY)
shaking in fear, over being seen by her family,
in a Chuckie Cheese.
and tell you she’s afraid of being a victim of an honor killing, and that “now they are watching me more closely than ever”.
...right here in the U.S.A.

I like the punchline where they rape young women and force them to become suicide bombers. That one has me in stitches.

There’s a whole lot more too, like he cross-dresses, liked sex with little boys and men too, and a woman being dead didn’t stop him getting it on either...real class act to be emulated alright ;)

true, there is a lot more.
but i try to stick to only things that are in their OWN literature.

it’s hard enough to pin them down about things like the age of Aisha.
the things you mention, can’t be proved at all,
and add to their claims that we make up stuff from Islamophobia.
...if you stick to their OWN literature, they can’t make that claim.
and just the DOCUMENTED things from their OWN literature,
are more than enough to disgust any decent person.

(Mohammad makes Jeffers look like a choirboy.)

and that’s one BIG reason, why they NEVER refer to the Sira, and if they talk to a potential convert, they NEVER recommend reading the Sira (life of the prophet).
...and most english versions, are edited on top of that.

Did you hear the one about the guy who rose from the grave after dying on the cross? Well there are people who actually believe it.

(after boos)

You bastards are Islamophobic!

It was supposed to be ironic and indicative of what THEY would find humorous.
