Seriously, I don't see anything funny in this. Even from a film perspective, it's poorly produced. I suppose from the perspective of satirizing the religious bent of the original it might be funny, but that doesn't seem to be the intent. Rather, the intent seems to be simple ridicule, which is rarely humorous. Not to say I'm offended, either, I just think it's really poorly done and I don't get the joke.
Organized religion in general needs to be done away with in order to stop all the hating. I oppose Islam for the same reason I oppose Christianity. I don't find this video funny, but it's what I've come to expect.
not all Muslims are terrorists. Like every other religion there are people who take the message the wrong way. Christianity has extremists too you know ranging from Roman soldiers, KKK, Nazis and the aryan brotherhood to name a few. Its not just Islams that are being satired in this cartoon but modern day Christians that have gone too commercial much like in the original charlie brown Christmas and it even takes a stab at tom cruise Scientology and psychology. just enjoy the humor.
Western expansion takes place in opposition to directives from the Popes, who issued order after order to treat the Indians fairly and not to take Africans as slaves. This went on for hundreds of years, starting in the 1400's even before Columbus. Pope Pius IX ordered the American bishops to oppose racial slavery, but the bishops ignored him.
Western expansion only takes place once papal authority had been smashed.
So you're saying that Islam teaches that God made man in the image and likeness of God? Or that Islam teaches that God took on human form? Or that Islam does not teach that God is totally unknowable and is totally outside of human categories of reason, goodness and love?
Do you disagree that Christianity spread through the old Roman Empire through peaceful means? Do you disagree that Islam spread by the sword through that same now Christian Empire, and to India and Asia and Africa?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@outnaway yes, I do disagree. Islam actually reached India through peaceful means: Arabian traders landed in south western india just a few years after the Prophet died. Christianity has so much blood on its hands that it's hard to know where to begin...
@stillif "Islam actually reached India through peaceful means: Arabian traders landed in south western india"
Revisionist nonsense. The Islamic invasion of India was one of the bloodiest periods in Indian history. Tens of millions were slaughtered, millions more enslaved.
Really, does this video portray the large majority of Muslims? People like Queen Noor of Jordan? or Dave Chappelle? Or Chris Rock? or Muhammed Ali? Or Imam Feisal of the Cordoba Initiative? Or the hundreds of millions of them who never appear on the news or in terrorist watch lists?
Christianity teaches that man is made in the image of God, that God is pure reason and love. In Islam, God is not reason or reasonable, and does not love man. Man is subject to a distant God. In Christianity, God has intervened personally and has taken on human form out of love for us.
This is why the ant-slavery movement came out of Christian thought. And why woman have rights in Christian countries. Islam is anti-human and anti-reason at its core.
Where does your knowledge of Islam come from? Careful study of original sources and intimate knowledge of Islamic history? or long-term contact with a successful Muslim Community? Or is it just the same bits and bobs that opinion mongers and extremists feed to the ignorant? My guess is the latter, as Islam was built on the Christian and Jewish faiths and over and over repeats that the message is the same that was brought to all the prophets.
In Islam, God, or Allah, as they prefer to call him, to differentiate their God from the bifurcated Christian God (Son,Father), is highly reasonable. His first word to the Prophet Muhammad was "Read..." which continued: "In the name of your God who taught man by the pen."
The "Black Legend" school of English history spins this myth about Spanish cruelty towards the Indians in the New World and lays the blame on the Church. The problem with this is that the English Protestants did the same or worse to the Indians, and that the Popes tried to rein in the Spanish conquistidors, but were ignored.
But back to today...our problem is Islam, an inherently violent religion that believes that God is amoral, capricious and cruel. Islam teaches that man is nothing.
Islam uses war to spread. It used war on the Byzantine Empire and conquered Christian Egypt, Syria, etc.
Christianity spread through North Africa, the mid-East and Eastern and Western Europe peacefully, transforming the barbaric Roman Empire. The only blood shed was the blood of countless martyrs.
Even today Islam tells people to kill anyone who converts to Christianity. Islam is still killing Christians for "religious" reasons in Iraq, India, the Sudan, Palestine.
Lists are not really meaningfull. I could just start with the torturers of the Inquisition and move on thru the hundred years war, the crusades, destiny, and all the other imperial expansions over the past millenium to prove that Christianity is as responsible for death and cruelty as any other faith.
You've obviously been reading from what's called the "Black Legend" school of history. When the English needed a reason to justify raiding Spanish commerce, their historians re-wrote history to make it attack all things Catholic, and especially all things Spanish. American historians took all this in too and went on from there.
Islam is the only religion to spread by the sword. Islam was on a thousand year war, interrupted only by one series of defensive wars called the Crusades.
Hahahaha! Yes, you can rewrite history all you like, none of the Africans, Asians or Indigenous Americans who were murdered or dispossessed of their land were in any doubt of their invaders faith. Honestly, you are arguing a losing point when you try to put one religion over another, they have all had their golden periods and their barbarous ones.
You mean the extremists, right? Every religion, including Christianity, has their extremists. And if you think terrorism is about the religious difference, do the research into the politics behind it and you'll find religions is only a tool being used to drive American presence out of the Middle East. But we need to stay there for our military and energy needs.
terrorist is just a made up word created by the americans. people kill people since the ice age. just because people are killing people now, u start to call them terrorist.
may allah show you the right way all of this is a big lie when muslims kill somebody or blow some place they bolw it because there is a big Conspiracies against islam and muslims and they kill the american or british soliders because the american and british soliders raped muslims women and kill childern and destroy every thing you invasion iraq and afaghanstan and when someone stand and fight you ... you call him a Terrorist please use your minds and think very will
Comedy Central actually made this video as a satirical commentary on the United States. It is supposed to represent our unrealistic and ridiculous stereotypes of the Muslim faith, as well as the corporate and capitalistic takeover of our own religious holidays here in America. From an intellectual standpoint, I think this video is brilliant and thought provoking!
Ignorance is no longer an option. Indeed, without understanding and a willingness to explore uncomfortable issues like anti-Americanism, myths and distortions are likely to flourish. WHILE YOUR STATEMENT ABOVE MAY BE CORRECT IN THE LITERAL SENSE, IF YOU ACTUALLY THINK THAT COMEDY CENTRAL INTENDED TO AIR A RACIST VIDEO THEN I STRONGLY URGE YOU TO CONTACT THEM. Become a change-agent. Don't post unsubstantiated, borderline racist comments that uneducated young people will read.
Racism? You are very confused. Exactly what race are Muslims? You are in denial of the fact there are extremist Islamic fanatics committing acts of terrorism around the world. They are killing non-Muslims and fellow Muslims they consider insufficiently pious.
This will be my last concerning this matter. As someone who holds a PhD in International Studies, it is clear to me that your opinions are exactly what are wrong with our world today. This dialogue has been disgusting, but stimulating, and I look forward to sharing it with my students.
PREDJUDICE: AN ADVERSE OPINION FORMED WITHOUT JUST GROUNDS OR BEFORE SUFFICIENT KNOWLEDGE. I would suggest reading the following: BOOKS - "Silent No More: Confronting America's False Images of Islam," by Paul Findley; and "Arab Voices Speak to American Hearts," by Kirt Dressler; FILM -- "Islam: What the West Needs to Know." I am a Christian, but I certainly don't hope people assume that means I work with Fred Phelps.
Dawn: The fact that you need to wave your PhD in everyone's face speaks volumes, you smug moron. Thank God you are powerless and people who truly understand the nature of Islam are in power...you can keep ranting while smart people get about the business of protecting your right to free speech.
Islam, praising hate and intolerance.
