I mean honestly, sometimes I just don't seem to understand why Muslims are so over-sensitive. If someone say something about Alah just for the sake of fun, they just get mad. I've seen people making fun at Christ for the sake of humor, there is hardly any serious reaction from Christians. If you joke about Buddha, Buddhists don't bother, if you make fun of Hindu gods, Hindus don't get mad but why only Muslims? Sometimes we can crack jokes about something without showing disrespect, can't we?

We have sense of humor. According to you a Christian or a Buddhist do not bother if you make fun of their gods. By the way there is only one GOD.May be you do not have the respect to religion and other people's beliefs. May be for you it is not disrespectful but for someoneelse it is.... Please do not expect everybody(Not only Muslims but also Christians, Hindus etc) think like you do. JUST RESPECT TO OTHER PEOPLE.

Dear Sir/Madame
Muslims are human, they did not come from Mars. They do have a sense of humour. Joking about God/Allah is not-acceptable. The Devine Being is not human like us to joke about. Do you like others mocking your Father? I think that your father came to live before you did and the reason for you being here. This is simple respect, but it should be more than respect for other people. Muslims believe that God/Allah created them. How can you make fun of your Creator?

If you allow people to make fun of your belief that does not mean it should be the same for others as well. Thats absolutely absurd.
The reason only anybody would take such jokes is only they have doubts about their belief.
Test yourself with the above, let somebody make fun of something you really believe and notice your own reaction. You will have your answer then.

I don't know where you live and what is your religion but let me tell you something. I think the muslims you have met were very hard-core ones. I am a muslim myself,so are my family and friends. We tell jokes about God ( Allah), prohphets( even our prophet Mohamamd) and other religious characters. But we know what to say in every community. Forexample i won't joke about God at work because most of my colleagues are very religious people and i don't want to annoy them. You see! it's about respecting other people's beliefs. I think a nice characterestic of a good person is respecting others and not annoying them.I have friends from other religions and ethnicities,too and i'd never joke about their beliefs and habbits.

It's a strange culture. Suicide bombings are praised by Iranians and Palestinians and the Quran is seen as so holy that infidels aren't supposed to touch it without gloves. It's just insane if you ask me. Whatever the sunna says is beyond reproach. Free speech and the free flow of ideas are stifled. why would they have a sense of humor about any of it?

When you say Muslims, you see only a certain amount of people. You only know of the terrorists, the imams, etc. but if you go to a Muslim country you'd understand. True Muslims can be overly conservative sometimes, but you can't judge all Muslims with that perspective.

Religion is a very sensitive topic, amongst all people.
What you may perceive as humorous may be very insulting to someone else.
So live and let live.
And stop antagonizing others.
Have a nice day! =D

properly if the different man or woman isn't guffawing with then you definitely it is not any longer humorous for the different man or woman is it meaning it replaced right into a foul funny tale, and it is you who do not have experience of humour yet undesirable manners. there is huge difference between mocking, insulting, slandering and having a experience of humour.
