Is there humour in Islam?

Category: ROPMA, Religion

From Sunday Telegraph’s letters page:

Apropos Niall Ferguson’s stimulating thoughts on religion,

G K Chesterton also wrote: “It is the test of a good religion whether you can make a joke about it.” Would Islam pass the test today?

A good piece in TCS by Bryan Preston on the Van Goth murder.

Update: It seems that Silent Running’s SNN broadcasts (in which I feature) is considered zionazi by some “moderate” Aussie Muslim.
