[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just saw Book of Mormon at the Kennedy Center.  It was so funny, I don't think I've ever laughed that hard, or at least not in a very long time.

Before I went, my mom asked me what the play was about.  I told her it was a comedy making fun of Mormons (that's really all I knew about it at that time).  She got all concerned, and was like, "it is safe?  What if someone bombs it?".  I told her that I doubted Mormons would do something like that, and that she was probably thinking of a different religion.

I found it pretty surprising and ironic that apparently, the Mormon church paid to take out full page adds in the play's program guide.  I thought they were fake adds, put in there as a joke, but they were real.  DH and I mused that it was funny that the Mormons actually took out advertising at the play that makes fun of them, whereas if this play was about Muslims, violence would probably ensue, or at least claims of "racism" or "Islamphobia" or a "hate crime".

Do you think a play like this could successfully be made making fun of Islam?  [/quote]

YOu've got to be kidding me  :P You do know that there are many Muslim plays who make fun of Muslims right? We do have a sense of humor after all and we don't just go around bombing people and accusing them of Islamophobia because of a play, we do know the difference between Islamophobia and plain fun.
