[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looking for comedy in the Muslim world was about a guy going to India to find out what makes Muslims laugh. It was mostly about his trip planning and all the things going wrong with his trip.  Also India has a huge population that isn't Muslim so most of the audience at his shows weren't even Muslim. It wasn't really a movie about Islam at all, and not even a very good movie.

Axis of Evil comedy tour is 4 Middle Eastern comedians making fun of themselves and their own cultures. Very different than other people making a play that mocks or is satirical about Islam.

A play similar to the Book of Mormon would never happen about Islam.[/quote]

The thing is in Muslim communities the culture is an Islamic culture of some sort so the 2 are mixed and making fun of themselves and Islam is making fun of islamic practices of some sort. But you are right that we would never have a play blatantly mocking the Quran, if that is what you meant? I think there if a fine line between comedy and being offensive and that line can be easily crossed especially for minorities that have been discriminated against, just like the Jews were not happy about Passion of the Christ.[/quote]
