It Ain’t Funny, Mohammed


There is a troupe of Muslim comedians who have been touring the South to 
counter the stereotypical view of Muslims. They contend that these stereotypes 
are the core of the cancer that is American Islamophobia. All the shows are 
free and it is a national tour with heavy publicity. Should there be a 
follow-the-money question about who is paying the hundred thousand dollars for 
the propaganda tour?

But there is a great deal of truth about the idea of a stereotype. The true 
stereotype of Islam is Mohammed. He is declared in 91 verses in the Koran to be 
the divine human prototype, the perfect being and the sacred model of a pious 
life. We find him in the Sira (his biography) and the Hadith (his traditions). 
Guess what? There is a doctrine of humor to found in Islamic doctrine. This 
should be no surprise, given that the Islamic doctrine is the basis for their 
civilization.

Here are some of the moments of laughter in Mohammed’s life take from the 
Hadith and the Sira:

Muslim 031, 5932: … [At the battle of Uhud]… Mohammed said to Saed: Shoot an 
arrow, may my mother and father be taken as ransom for you. Saed drew an arrow 
and shot a featherless arrow at the Meccan’s side and he fell down and his 
private parts were exposed. I saw Mohammed’s front teeth when he laughed.

Muslim 019, 4450: … I said: Mohammed, let me select from our people one hundred 
men and I will follow the marauders and I will kill them all. Mohammed laughed 
so much that his molar teeth could be seen in the light of the fire, and he 
said: Salama, do you think you can do this? I said: Yes, ….

Bukhari 8, 74, 299: ... Mohammed woke up with a smile. 'What makes you laugh, O 
Allah's Apostle?' He said, 'In my dream some Muslims were displayed before me 
as jihadists sailing over this sea, like kings on thrones.’ 

Umayya: 'Now I had bound my prisoner's thumbs with my bow­string, and when 
Mohammed looked at him he laughed so that one could see his back teeth. He 
asked my news and when I told him how I had killed a Kafir by pushing my bow 
through his eye into his brain, he blessed me.' [1] 

By God, we only met some bald old women like the sacrificial camels who are 
hobbled, and we slaughtered them!' The apostle smiled and said, 'But, nephew, 
those were the Kafir chiefs.' [2] 

‘Mohammed, what makes the Lord laugh with joy at His servant?' Mohammed 
answered, 'When he plunges into the midst of the enemy without armor.' Auf drew 
off his armor and threw it away: then he seized his sword and fought the enemy 
till he was slain. [3] 

A common phrase from both the Koran and Mohammed is:

Bukhari 8, 76, 492: Mohammed said, "If you knew what I know you would laugh 
little and weep much." 

We can see that what makes Mohammed laugh a little, makes us weep much. And 
what makes Mohammed laugh in these quotes? Brutality and cruelty to Kafirs made 
Mohammed laugh and smile.

Mohammed found cruelty to Kafirs (non-Muslims) funny, but we Kafirs had better 
never find anything about Mohammed humorous. Have you ever heard a Mohammed 
joke? There are Jesus jokes, Moses jokes, God jokes and Saint Peter jokes, but 
in 1400 years there has never been a Mohammed joke. Why? Why isn’t Mohammed 
funny? There are no Mohammed jokes because of the Islamic reasoning or logic. 
Islamic reasoning is pure authoritarian.

But there is an even better reason that we don’t have any Mohammed jokes. Jokes 
point out our errors and flaws. There are 91 Koran verses that say that 
Mohammed is the perfect man to be followed in the smallest detail by all 
Muslims at all times. If Mohammed is not perfect, then why imitate him? If the 
joke points out error or flaws, then the keystone of Islam is flawed. The joke 
performs the logical task of isolating error. If the joke is based on any 
reality (and they all are, or they would not be funny) then Mohammed has flaws. 
That would mean that a Muslim has to start using reasoning to sort out 
Mohammed’s errors. So the joke destroys the entire edifice of authoritarian 
reasoning and opens up Islam to critical thought. Since Mohammed must remain 
the perfect pattern, then no jokes may be allowed.

Humor is an excellent acid test for the type of reasoning that is used. 
Authoritarian systems never allow humor directed at the authorities. Nobody 
told Stalin jokes. Joke:

An American was visiting a Russian during the Cold War. They fell to arguing 
about who had the better political system. The American said, “Let me show how 
good American politics are.” He tore out a photo of Nixon in a magazine and 
threw it into the trash and said, “To hell with Nixon. Can you do that?”

The Russian said, “Sure.” And he took the photo of Nixon, wadded it up and 
threw it out the window and yelled to the world, “To hell with Nixon.” Then he 
said, “See, we Soviets can do that better than you!”

Authoritative reasoning systems are based on suppression of thought that is not 
accepted by the Establishment and always have force and punishment in the 
background. To see authoritative thought in America, go to any college 
classroom and try for an open discussion of race. Try talking about minority 
crime, poverty and classroom failures as being the responsibility of the 
minority.

The Kafir world has a better thought system—critical thought (also: scientific 
thought). Critical thought loves humor for the reason that all opinions are 
welcome in critical thought. The idea may not be provable, but you can bring up 
for discussion.

We see this in political cartoons. One of the triumphs of America during this 
Obama presidency is that he gets cracked as hard in political cartoons as Bush.

What about a Mohammed cartoon? Oops! That does not work so well. Remember the 
Mohammed cartoons? People died in riots. Then Mollie Norris of Seattle, WA came 
up with idea of “Everybody Draw Mohammed Day”. She is now in hiding from death 
threats. That’s that the Islamic authoritarian reasoning at work.

We got to see Islamic authoritarian reasoning against intellectuals and artists 
in the death fatwa as Salman Rushdie (author), the murder of: Pym Fortune (an 
artist and politician), Theo van Gogh (film director and TV personality), 
Daniel Pearl (newspaper reporter) and other artist/critics for 1400 years. 
Assassination of artists who criticize Mohammed is pure Islam. Mohammed 
repeatedly sent out assassins against the artists and intellectuals of his day 
who criticized and satirized him.

What is the response of the authoritarian media/university/government 
Establishment today to critical thought about Islam? Those who are critical 
about Islamic doctrine and history are called immoral bigots, Islamophobes, 
haters and worse. Why does our Establishment love Islam so much? One 
authoritarian recognizes another authoritarian. It is a matter of professional 
courtesy--the same reason that sharks don’t bite lawyers.

The Establishment will not help us, but will only pick up Islam’s complaints 
and bludgeon us as bigots because we do not agree on an intellectual point. We 
have to be ideological warriors and bring the truth of Islamic doctrine and 
political history, which is not funny in any way, to those who have an ear to 
hear.

But take heart, kind souls, there is at least one form of humor that the Muslim 
comedy troupe won’t be telling, fart jokes:


Bukhari 8, 73, 68: Mohammed forbade laughing at a person who passes wind, …


So tell me, if you cannot crack fart jokes, how do Muslim males ever get 
through youth? (For the guys—pull my finger.)
