Why don't Christians and Jews riot everytime South Park pokes fun at them or when some critic chastises them over some point or another. Why should the West have any symapthy for people who go nuts over a Danish cartoon (But love anti-Jew cartoons) and the Pope's referencing of a 400 year old conversation between a Christian emperor and a Muslim scholar?
Isn't at the very least hypercritical of Islam?

I do not think it is a matter of not having any humor, rather, it is a matter of tolerance...The western world is simply a couple of centuries ahead of the middle east as far as tolerating the views of others. It is the same intolerance that christians showed in America in the years before the US Constitution FORCED them to change...

You shouldn't put Muslims all in the same basket just like you shouldn't put all Christians in the same basket. The Muslims who are causing so much trouble are in the minority and they are the ones who must pay for what they have done but, hey, don't condemn them all.
When a baby is killed by an American soldier, does that mean you all Americans did it?
I'm sure that some Muslims if, and that's a big IF, watched South Park they might have a bit of a laugh at themselves.
I'm sure that there has been some sort of cartoon that Christians have complained about but you won't hear about that because it's not news.
By the way I am not a Muslim, just a person who lives by my conscience.

Dunno.
Did you see the trailer in the movie, "Taildega Nights, A ballad for Ricky Bobby"? There is some movie coming out where a Muslim man comes to the USA and is taught humor. OMG, I busted a gut laughing at the trailer!!! Ahhh, they were trying to teach this Muslim the "NOT" humor. You know, like, Ana Nicole Smith is so intelligent --- NOT (giggle) ... well this poor Muslim struggled so hard trying to get the NOT humor down in the trailer ... I would have remembered the name of this upcoming movie, but, I was laughing too hard (breath).

Dude if you think Muslims don't have a sense of humor then you seriously need to know me.
Anyways, all Muslims are different. The ones you met are probably Middle Eastern. There are Muslims in India, Bangladesh and China and they are different from the Muslims in the Middle East. The Muslims in the Middle East hate Muslims from Asia (as in me) because they think they're superior and taller. I'm Muslim and I'm from Bangladesh and most people in my country don't like Middle Eastern Muslims either. I think it's a Middle Eastern thing to always be something. The Muslims in Asia don't get crazy over things like that (I know because I lived in Bangladesh for a while.)

Muslims I know have a fine sense of humor, though Arabs do tend to smile less than people in some other cultures.
Jokes that are demeaning to God or the prophets are not funny, any more than racist or sexist jokes.

Everyone has a sense of humour... some people's humour is just way out of wack. Didn't you hear Osama bin Laden laughing on September 11?
The Muslims' belief is that they must wipe out all the "infidels"- people who do not accept and convert to their religion. They are a religion of violence.

Sadly many of the Christians don't have much of a sense of humor either. They didn't like my question about Jesus and the Burrito.

We have the sense of humour but we don't make jokes on God and Prophets and every bad word said on prophet Muhamed (pbuh) is unacceptable..We love our prophet and care about him and we don't bear to listen that someone insults our prophet or talked about him in an impolite way.

we do have a sense of humor..but not when it comes to disrespecting our Religion and making fun of it..that is not funny to us.. I don't feel that making fun of any Religion is humorous...there are other forms of entertainment...
