Soundmiester

The title of the cartoon is the news item that says ``Americans have started training Pakistan police``. Then in the cartoon the instructor (American) is pointing them towards the portrait of a bearded man and instructing them ``Apprehend only the people who have beards``

Urstruly,

Can you provide subtitles for the cartoon in #7?

Apology accepted. Now go say your juma prayers. The mullah is ``ready`` for you.

Humour is the best remedy to ease one`s pain, and also to induce reform. Jewish comedians have perfected this art. When one makes fun of one`s own community, one is careful to draw a line between laughing at oneself and insulting one`s community. And when one shows one`s pain, it acts as dual therapy, as was the case with the Archie Bunker jokes in All in The Family.
On the subcontinent, only the sikhs know this art; some of the best sardarji jokes come from sikhs themselves, like those by Khushwant Singh. We can also learn a thing or two from our maraasis and bhands in this regard.

I like the jokes by Shazia Mirza.

I think that a real desi comic discovery is the guy who has replaced Rick Mercer on CBC`s This Hour Has 22 Minutes. He is hillarious.

If I have offended you in some way then I apologize. I also apologize to your baaji; I didn`t know ok. Carry on.

re Urstruly#12:

Unfortunately writing under separate handles is the forte of hypcorites like you. You`ve done it at least a couple of times before without admitting it I might add. This ``prostitute`` addition has your slimy fingerprints all over it.

Urstruly # 12 - Up until now I thought hamidm was only talking like a prostitute. But to know that he is actually walking the talk is quite ...... oh well. I suppose it was only a matter of time.

I think hamidm should be banned from this forum; this pervert has been writing ilogs with the handle ``prostitute`` to beguile the unsuspecting horny middle aged men with Erectile Dysfunction among us. Nice ass though.

I nominate Mr. Hamidm as the top muslim comic of all times. Man, he is in the wrong line of work. If he took up comedy, he could give Jay Leno a run for his money.

I have a good Muslim joke.

A man walks into a sex shop. He wants to buy a blow up sex doll. The man at the counter says ``We have two models, a blonde one and a Muslim one``.

The dude says, ``Whats the difference between the blondie and the Muslimee?``

The man at the counter pulls them off the shelf and says,

``The blonde one, you have to blow her up yourself. The Muslim one, no problem, saves you time, she blows herself up.``

hehehe

;-)

Now this Muslim comedian looks like one classy lady without a chip on her shoulder:

I reckon Malik99 would lynch her though ;-)

malik 99,

Firstly this ``festival`` was in my city which unlike our neighbors in the south treats Muslims much better. (Except a few handful incidents, Canada is still friendly to Muslims than America.) Secondly, if the festival was a ``Desi Comedy Festival`` then i would not have raised a point because if the blacks can do it in the south then so can we.

Russell Peters a Canadian from Indian parents is, in my opinion, the best desi comedian in Canada. It would have been great to have him in the festival if this was a ``Desi Festival``.

As far as the jokes you posted in post 1, well i can easily say that they would have offended more muslims then those that laughed at them.
