They stop you from an open-eyed perception. They tell you "what is", instead of encouraging you to seek for "what is". I’m sorry to say this, but I think that religions keep people in hordes.

I linked to your article from <a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2007/01/why_i_make_fun_of_is.html" rel="nofollow">Why I make fun of Islam</a>; I believe my jokes are much more offensive.

They are the lamest stuff I've ever seen that have been referred to as "jokes". A muslim's sense of humor must be different from the rest of the human race. I wouldn’t call any of those “jokes”.

I'm not endorsing the jokes, but I do endorse the right of the magazine to publish them. They got in a lot of trouble for that, and the magazine was confiscated, so I put the jokes here so people could see what all the controversy is about. I wrote six different posts about the case—here is the <a href="http://www.eatbees.com/blog/2006/12/21/censorship-alert/" rel="nofollow">first</a> and here is the <a href="http://www.eatbees.com/blog/2007/01/15/victory-of-a-sort/" rel="nofollow">last</a>. @safa and shuzaka — The jokes are on this website because they appeared in the popular Moroccan magazine Nichane as examples of the kind of jokes Moroccans (Muslims) tell among themselves.

He also tells us that the hypocrites think every cry is against them. We see these jokes and they do two things: first, they identify those who make them; second, they confirm that what ALLAH says is true. They are not cries against the faithful, they are proofs of Islam and a benefit to us just as are other things that inform us of who is who. So who is it that thinks that every cry is against them? These jokes cause others to identify themselves, as well. Another benefit for the faithful. There is plenty of humor in Islam. Humor is a distinguishing characteristic of humanity, and the prophet himself laughed often, and often enough at some of the antics of his companions. Personally, I found these much-maligned "ten jokes" rather humorless. If this is what the people of Morocco find funny, I am sad for them. And if Moroccan authorities find them "against" the people, then I feel doubly sad for the people, but can better understand why Moroccans find them funny.
