why is it OK for non-Muslims comedians to make jokes about muslims.but if a Muslim comedian makes jokes......?

Question

about non-muslims.they are called intolerant.

isn't that the pot calling the kettle black.

Answer 1

The world treats Muslims differently.There are different sets of rules for Muslims.They will be called terrorists.

Answer 2

What about muslim comedians making jokes about muslims - even if non comedians make jokes I never have any true problem unless it is too offensive or personally directed as a statement falsely charged against the beautiful religion of Islam. Well if the jokes are simple and laughable, and not meant to insult anyone , whtether the comedian is muslim or non muslim, I have absolutely no problems. Just try developing a good vview on muslims - there r good and bad ppl in every religion, just the fact that that the bad ppl believing in Islam r 2 bad, giving all muslims an impression that they r bad.

Answer 3

I didn't know Muslim's had a sense of humour. Comedians have been making jokes about religion for years including Christianity. Your argument holds no water.

Answer 4

Since when is it OK for non-Muslims to make jokes about Muslims?

I didn't know that there are Muslim comedians. I've never seen one.

Answer 5

Depends on which country you are residing. I am sure that in Muslim countries, there will be a fair bit of jokes about Christians. This is the same with "Irish" jokes. In some countries the butt of the jokes is not Irish but Bengalis. Just the way things are - safer to "attack" a minority.

Answer 6

Depends on your definition of joke, perhaps. Not sure I've heard/seen any examples of what you're talking about, really. Especially comedians who call themselves Muslim comedians....?!

Answer 7

There are Muslim Comedians ?

Answer 8

... for the same reason fat jokes are a hell of alot funnier coming from fat people.

for the same reason gay jokes are alot funnier coming from a gay/lesbian comedian.

for the same reason alot of jewish jokes can be told by jewish people, but not by non-jews.

its not that big of a deal, or that unique...

if your not part of that group, you aren't going to have as good of an idea where the line is, and more likely to "unintentionally" cross it.

that is, the line between "humor" and "thinly veiled hatred"

if the person saying the joke is part of that religion, it gives some more "wiggle room" as it would be assumed that their intent is pure, where if the "joke" teller is of unknown "affiliation" then their intent is less certain, and more likely to be negative.

Answer 9

It goes both ways. Did you see what happened in the news about the cartonists in the Netherlands that drew a cartoon depicting muhammed?

Answer 10

I've never seen this. I'd say the opposite is largely true.

It's wrong either way.
