Muslim comedians put the "fun" in fundamentalist
Fort Wayne Journal Gazette/Washington Post ^ | May 8, 2004 | Caryle Murphy

Please read article at its source since this is an article from Washington Post via Fort Wayne Journal Gazette.

I resent it when conservative Christians are referred to as right wing religious fanatics, and Muslims are referred to as "fundamentalists."

Here's the paragraph that really got to me:

Muslim stand-up comics are increasingly in demand by both Muslim and non-Muslim groups. Canadian filmmaker Zarqa Nawaz produces what she calls "terrodies," or comedies about terrorism, and has named her company FUNdamentalist Films.

(I'm not laughing, are you?)
