Jamil Abu-Wardeh: The Axis of Evil Middle East Comedy Tour

http://www.ted.com Jamil Abu-Wardeh jump-started the comedy scene in the Arab world by creating the Axis of Evil Middle East Comedy Tour, which brought Middle Eastern standup comedians from the West to delighted audiences all over the Arab region. He's found that, by respecting the "three B's" (blue material, beliefs and "bolitics"), the Axis of Evil and other comics find plenty of cross-border laughs.

Axis of Evil Comedy Tour needs to come back!!!!

[elistn]

I hope a future act will combine Jewish and Arab comedians; Too many politician have been working for too many years to educate us that the "other" is a dangerous and hateful being. If anyone believes in god, he sees it as a father of all beings; A father would never want a brother to fight a brother; If there is a god - his way is love and acceptance, not hateful lies. Shalom and Salam

@johnnydoeist Typical of you to call someone you do not know a racist moron .Simplistic in your argument . A Muslim is at peace . An Islamist is a Racist , Mysoginist that believes in a bloody justice . Its not your fault. Your leaders make life so hard . Pacifying you to hate people you do not know .I know that you want to come here .One has to be very careful to even visit Islam .

@johnnydoeist I am sorry that is what you get out of it and not its deeper meaning . God intervening in mans inhumanity to man. The corupt media is about sond bites dumming down with popular thought and it seems you are slavish to it. Prepare yourself . THE devil is moving in men in every corner of the world , many are defiant of God She thinks she will win but Gods wrath is greater than hers . Prepare yourself.
