Islamic stand-up-comedy?

Can you ever associate Islam with humor? Hell no! (damn that pun is good!) But it’s true though. I found it difficult, if not impossible, to associate Islam with comedy, let alone stand-up-comedy!!

But three young Muslim-Americans, Azhar Usman, Preacher Moss and Mo Amer, made it real and are in fact touring North America under the name ’Allah Made Me Funny’ in an attempt to “bridge the gaps of bias, intolerance and other social ills that are pre and post 9/11 relevant”.

Here’s the trailer of their comedy, also called ’Allah Made Me Funny’:

I would personally love to attend one of their shows if they ever decide to tour in the Middle East and see how funny Allah made them.

    Mariam, they are associating Islam with comedy, I did not say they were making fun of Islam, they’re mostly making fun of how Westerners deal with Muslims and Arabs and consider them all to be terrorists. Yes nothing bad here.
