Two Muslim comics – Negin Farsad and the egregious Dean Obeidallah — are apparently behind the campaign of Muslim propaganda posters, “Facts About Muslims,” that have been put up in 140 stations of the New York City subway system. “We wanted to do things that ranged from being informative—like ‘Muslims invented algebra’—to silly, playful, and funny,” said Obeidallah.
Here are a couple of these posters:
“Muslims are coming to strike with hugs so fierce, you’ll end up calling your grandmother and telling her you love her.”
and
“The Ugly Truth About Muslims: They have great frittata recipes.”
Their strategy is simple: make absurdist claims for Muslims that will point up, with that light-hearted mickey-mockery for which Muslims are famous, the idiocy of all those terrible charges by Islamophobes – you know, such preposterous claims as that “Muslims are taught that apostates should be killed” or “Muslims are responsible for more than 90% of ‘honor killings’” or “Muhammad consummated his marriage to little Aisha when she was nine years old” or “the Qur’an has 109 verses preaching Jihad” — crazy stuff like that. No, I didn’t find the hugs-and-frittatas funny, either.
But there is something else going on as well. It’s the “informative” part. Here’s what’s on another poster:
Fact: Muslims invented the concept of a hospital (“informative”)
Fact: Grownup Muslims can do more pushups than baby Muslims (“silly, playful, funny”)
Fact: Muslims invented Justin Timberlake (“silly, playful, funny”)
Well, the thing about the hospitals is true, the other two might be kinda true.
Here three claims are made, two of them self-evidently absurd, but one of them –“Muslims invented the concept of the hospital” — meant to be taken as serious and true (“the thing about the hospitals is true”). If your standards of humor are suitably sophomoric, you may allow yourself to laugh at the two “silly, playful, funny” claims. You have then been put in the frame of mind to think that the people who could be so winningly humorful with these claims (those pushups, that Timberlake), are entitled to be believed when they make their serious “informative” claim. You do not stop and say to yourself: hey, wait a minute, let me check Wikipedia about that “concept of a hospital” claim, where, if you did, you would find that hospitals did not originate with Muslims but date back to Greek and Roman times. Instead, bemused by these two Muslim comics, we let down our guard, as they slip in the one claim where they are not being absurd but merely mendacious – and we accept it. The claim being made, after all, is not obviously outrageous, as would be, say, a claim that “Muslims discovered America” or “a Muslim discovered the structure of DNA”; most of us are hazy on the subject of when hospitals began, and having been softened up by the other two putatively humorful claims, are now prepared to accept the claim about Muslims inventing “the concept of the hospital” as not just “kinda true,” but “true.”
As a thought experiment, imagine that the poster had contained neither of the “funny” claims, but just this one: “Muslims invented the concept of the hospital.” You would no longer be inclined to accept it. Instead, you would have gone at once to consult a reliable reference source, and would have found the Islamic claim of priority given short shrift.
Another example of the extravagant claims for Muslim achievement is this Farsad-Obeidallah poster:
“Muslims! They invented coffee, the toothbrush and algebra … Oh wait, sorry about the algebra. That’s a year of class you’ll never get back.”
Three claims, all of which are false. Coffee as a beverage has its origins in Ethiopia; the toothbrush comes from China; and algebra, the most important of the three claims, was developed first by Sanskrit mathematicians, though Arabs later affixed an Arab name to this branch of mathematics.
“Oh wait, sorry about the algebra. That’s a year of class you’ll never get back.”
Ha-Ha. Farsad and Obeidallah don’t make a big solemn deal about Muslim claims of priority about algebra – they can even make a joke about that wasted year of class — or for that matter, about toothbrushes and coffee. Though they insist, of course, that those claims are all true.
The Muslim propaganda that mimics and mocks, holding up for ridicule the cogent and unanswerable charges made by the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI), also presses claims about Muslim achievements that are false, and without much difficulty could be discovered to be false. But how many people know, or would take the time to find out, who first invented the toothbrush, or first brewed coffee? How many of us lazily assume that because “algebra” is an Arabic name, it must denote a branch of mathematics developed first by the Arabs?
“There is no fun in Islam,” said Ayatollah Khomeini. Silly and playful, sinister and persistent, Negin Farsad and Dean Obeidallah don’t agree, and want to introduce Infidels to the zany laff-riot that is Islam, and while we Infidels are consumed in cozy mute mirth from all of their “silly, playful, and funny” claims, they can smuggle in preposterous “informative” claims about Muslim achievements, those lists we are by now accustomed to, that include hospitals, algebra, toothbrushes, coffee, gunpowder, paper, the Discovery of America, the Rediscovery of Greek philosophy, the Renaissance, and so much more.

Panmelia says
They should be challenged to quote some of the more bloodcurdling verses from the koran, especially what is said about Jews, Christians and kuffar in general, and see if they can come up with some merry quips that will have us rolling about.
I suppose islamonazis are quite good at making things roll about – heads mostly. There, they can that gag for free.
Adrian says
Facts about Muslims:
How about NOT ONE mosque or imam anywhere has categorically said jihadists are NOT going to Paradise, but to the Hellfires
How about NOT ONE mosque or imam has launched a series program to educate their flocks about why all the hateful, misogynistic and murderous commands in Quran are not really hateful, misogynistic and murderous
mccode says
Maybe they did invent hospitals.
Perhaps to treat their grievously maimed and injured brethren who were the victims of their own self-inflicted jihadi attacks.
Jack Diamond says
They didn’t invent the hospital but they have some curious doctors in them.
“A group of 45 Muslim doctors threatened to use car bombs and rocket grenades in terrorist attacks in the United States during discussion on an extremist internet chat site….investigators have found no link between the (chat room) and the group of doctors and medics currently in custody over attempted car bomb attacks in London and Glasgow.” –from the Telegraph 7/5/07
45 doctors? Then there are those doctors and med students running off to join ISIS like the Australian Tareq Kamieh and the British medical student “Mujahidah Bint Usama” who sent out a Twitter of herself from the Caliphate in a white lab coat and veil, holding up a severed head.
Let’s look in the scrapbook. Muslim doctors in Florida. “Rafiq Abdus Sabir, an emergency room doctor and convert to Islam living in Boca Raton was sentenced to 30 years in prison for swearing an oath of allegiance to Al Qaeda and scouting location in Long Island to set up a jihad camp.” No kidding. “A group of doctors in Hernando, Florida admitted to providing millions of dollars in terrorism funding and several were connected and jailed in the Sami Al Arian case…Brooksville orthopedic surgeon Imad “Ed” Tarabishy (a founder of the Hernando mosque) has been the most generous benefactor of Global Relief and Benevolence International Foundation in the past five years giving at least $786,000 dollars {jihad and al Qaeda linked charities}.”
–Militant Islam Monitor 7/5/07
From the same article, this little anecdote: “Baghdad: a Church of England clergyman, Andrew White, who is president of the Foundation of Reconciliation in the Middle East based in Iraq, said he was at a conference in Amman, Jordan in April when he was taken aside by a Sunni religious leader. “I listened to him for 40 minutes, and he went on about how they were going to destroy Britons and Americans and how they were going to be doing more in the U.K. and the U.S. and he finished by saying ‘those who cure you will kill you.’ White Said.
In case anyone thinks this Dr. Jihad business is an aberration:
Ayman Al Zawahiri, al Qaeda, a doctor
Abdulaziz Rantissi, founding member of Hamas, a doctor
Mahmoud Al-Zahar, a founder of Hamas, a surgeon
Fathi Abd Al-Aziz Shiqaqi, founder Islamic Jihad, a doctor
Do no harm. Now there’s some Muslim humor.
gravenimage says
Yes–the whole prospect of Muslim doctors treating vulnerable Infidels is quite terrifying.
Carolyne says
Probably a person who had his hand and foot cut off (On opposite sides, of course) needed to be taken to a hospital and so the concept was born?
I visited my sister-in-law in the hospital in a small town in a southern state and in walked a Muslim woman doctor with a scarf on her head. I was shocked that a person with as much education as a person must have to be a medical doctor was so stupid as to believe she was obligated to wear that rag so that she would not send a Muslim male into a sexual frenzy.
El Cid says
Robert, i am now completely cynical about Islam. I was taught in the synagogue school about the so-called “Golden Age”. I no longer buy it.
I now view Islam like the Borg on Star Trek. I remember in University reading a reprint of an ancient text on “Hindu Reckoning”. I am inclined to think that if we investigate, we will find that Algebra was not invented, but “borrowed”. Hospitals, you say? Jews were typically Physicians to the Muslim leaders. Today, you will find a leading hospital in every major Western city founded by Jews serving the entire community regardless of religious background. Were is the ONE hospital founded by Muslims? Never saw even one.
After reading Maimonides, I am inclined to think that the history of Islam was successfully repressed in the past, just like it is today. Nothing negative could be said or written.
This religion has nothing to offer except to teach how it is better to find an alternative system of belief.
mortimer says
Maimonides lived at the time of the supposedly ‘enlightened’ caliphates in Spain and his depressing assessment of those Islamic barbarians cannot be doubted by any reasonable person.
And yes, Jews and Christians were trusted as doctors by the caliphs and therefore more tolerated. This puts the lie to Muslims inventing hospitals. Islam extinguishes the light of learning and innovation while Judaism inspires the pursuit of knowledge and excellence. The majority of Muslims are barely literate, while there is no Jew unable to read and write.
Taqiyya is deeply embedded in Muslim culture to the point of being second-nature.
Carolyne says
I believe that even today most hospitals in the Middle East are run and staffed by western personnel.
gravenimage says
And many of them are funded by charitable Western Christians, secularists, and–horrors!–Jews.
Providing medical care–even to other Muslims–is *not* a priority in Islam.
nicu says
They demand own hospitals in western countries already 🙁
Western Canadian says
Given the muslim lack of scientific understanding possessed by even educated muslim, their lack of creativity, primitive and absurd notions of hygiene…. There own hospitals would begin to cut down on their numbers….
Tho I do still favour a capture/sterilize/release program.
Angemon says
The “Golden Ages” of islam are nothing if not the theft of other cultures.
Hemant Garach says
I came to same conclusion that Islam is like the Borg of Star Trek. I read somewhere that an Arabian thinker said that “Arabs/Islam ha no creativity, everything is laid out in rules written in stone…. there is even a rule for going to the bathroom.”
When muslim invaders attacked India, they destroyed all Indian monuments and temples, forced local artisans to make grand mosques and palaces for the invaders and today, Muslim apoogists say Muslims created them and Indians created nothing of value in past millenia.

And then we get a couple of clowns that stroll in and try to make us laugh. It’s all just fun and jokes, murder for religion is. A humorous combination of human genocide and satire. hahahahahaha …ha.

Bill says
Cognitive Dissonance was pioneered by the CIA as a means of engineering mass opinion to achieve certain social goals, usually related to regime change, politics or changing social mores. It has proven very effective and infectious, and in the west is now found throughout popular entertainment, movies, music.
Simply, cogdis involves the juxtaposition of opposites, to achieve a certain effect, usually through ridicule or sarcasm. This effect is the diminishment or even annihilation of cultural beliefs to achieve the results desired by social engineers. Cogdis works much like a Zen koan: since the opposing statements are irreconcileable, their juxtaposition induces a small ‘break’, much like an induced psychotic break, which wipes clean the ego. This newly cleansed ego can then be easily reprogrammed with more ‘desirable’ content.
Interestingly, induced psychotic breaks have been a tool of choice for decades for social engineers and ‘others’….
Resistance to cogdis depends greatly on 1) the amount of daily exposure to popular media (esp.television) 2) the strength of the cultural superego. In the West average people have an enormous amount of exposure to popular media and our cultural consensus has been made deliberately flabby and weak. In non-western cultures, notably islamic cultures that are far more homogeneous, and where television has little penetration due to the fact that people have to work harder and longer every day to survive, cogdis has little effectiveness and has to be highly nuanced if it is to be used at all to engineer mass opinion.
Your best defense is to 1) CUT THE CORD! No more TV! 2) awareness-know when you are being manipulated, and why.
Kepha says
Sorry, Bill, but I disagree. Cognitive dissonance happens when people continue to persist in following a course of action they know to be futile, or persistently try to square unsquareable circles. it didn’t need a CIA to invent it, but has been around as long as there have been people who think sloppily.
As a former officer of the US State Department, I only wish the CIA had one-twentieth the occult powers credited to it by Leftists and others.
Western Canadian says
Actually, the method employed to drastically modify social attitudes in recent memory has most often been ‘bracketing’. Imagery of the totally vile (hitler, why not stalin?) are shown, then images of the opposition to the social ‘revolution’ are shown, followed again by the totally vile. It begins to establish a link, valid or not, between what can be and are two diametrically opposed viewpoints, but the opposition to the ‘revolution’ is tarred, and silenced…. Most legitimate social revolutions usually take decades, if not generations, but this method of psych manipulation can produce drastic change, in mere years. From equal rights for gays (don’t like using that word, they are seldom gay) to you are a vile criminal unless you roll over and play dead, in a decade? Amazing.
Try to find a copy of ‘After the Ball: How America Will Learn to Love It’s Homosexuals’ , or very close to that phrasing…. A blueprint for social revolution, being adopted by others…… ‘homophobia’ is a gibberish term, and a common vulgarity, but it works to silence, as is and does ‘islamophobia’.
blitz2b says
How about some one sponsor some true facts about Islam and Muslims…. Let’s keep up the humor, but let the truth be told…
I could think of a few right now.
1. Muslims altered the skyline of New York…. They thought It was time for a change anyway…
2. Muslims are responsible for creating hundreds of thousands of jobs….. Yeah that’s right! ….. In the air port security industry….
3. Islam is responsible for the world’s most popular J.V team…. ISIS ! ! ! …. They sure’ve got some heads rolling..
4. Islam is revolutionizing the meat industry….. Only tortured animals are good for consumption…
5. Pigs just love Muslims ….. Yeah they really do…. They consider them ‘life savers’….
Please contribute to this list… Make it funny…. After all laughter is haram in Islam…
Keys says
Thanks, Bill. “Pioneered by the CIA” ?
Now, here’s a case where I think the Muslims can take some credit for beating others to inventing cognitive dissonance.
Islam = Religion of Peace.
How about that for a poster with a pictorial background?

The guys who couldn’t count more than five fingers on their hand invented algebra -hmmm… they stole the so called arabic numerals, cipher, decimal system from the ancient Hindus – you think they can invent algebra. Nah, not possible. Muslims are great in stealing and then claiming it to be their own invention – ha, ha, ha, who are they fooling – oh of course the natives!
Jay Boo says
I hope that he did not forget to mention:
Muslims must do their ‘DUTY’ or else Islam soon falls apart.
Most religions claim to be number one but the 99 faces of Islam ideology is the only one that bases its existence on the specific claim that others are wrong. Islam does not say that it is the only way without basing that false claim on continually saying that all other ideologies are totally wrong and evil. Rather than promoting Islam’s own merits which are few, Muslims depend on condemning other religions while becoming furious and defensive at the slightest criticism of Islam. Such behavior reeks with shameless intentions. The first words a Muslim says to become a Muslim (♪♫♬La La Di Dah, Doo Doo Dah ♩♪♫♬) are not that Islam is great, but that all other religions are wrong. Islam may claim to be ‘Number One’ but Islam is actually ‘Number Two’ (figuratively speaking) and literally much lower down the list at the bottom of a snake pit.
In closing, to Muslims
Muslims you must
Ask not what your god can do for you,
but ask what you can do for your god,
for the ‘god’ you woo is made daily by you.
Now go and do your ‘Duty’ five times a day or else Allah will hiss and cuss and go away. Face to Mecca, It is time for WUDU Doo Doo.
Demsci says
Thanks Jay Boo, your post resonates with me enormously. You describe Islam as A religious claim that depends on being the only true one, declaring all other religions, even lifestyles, wrong.
– What a weak concept, they can’t even elevate themselves by saying; Oh, our competitors are VERY GOOD, but we still beat them!
– Many of us, and perhaps the Pagans in old times, might respond with; COMPARE honestly different religions and lifestyles, then let the best one win and let the lesser ones also be. This, I think, is the democratic system-way.
So, it behooves us to promote the best political system, the best way to become meaningfully happy, that is better than Islam. And not ourselves have a lousy or non-existent lifestyle that only thrives on bashing Islam!
linnte says
Is that what you think I(we)do all day? Sit around and bash Islam? Hahaha! I see you on this site frequently, so why do you bother?
Westman says
And all this time I thought the Russians invented everything.
Islam’s Quran and Hadiths: The world is divided into believers and unbelievers, us and them. Unbelievers are of no value, not to be taken as friends; Allah hates them, and he will torture them in Hell, forever.
POTUS and European leaders on Islam: Let us not divide the world into us and them.
Confused, yet? Hugged a Muslim lately? Did you see the police coming before you could ask for the frittata recipe? Perhaps you’ll need an “Islamic” hospital.
How does every joke about Islam start? By looking over your shoulder.
What do you call a Muslim woman with an opinion? Anything you want, she’s already been stoned to death.
A friend asked the Imam “how old are you?” “Forty” replied the Imam. The friend said, “but you said the same thing two years ago!” “Yes” replied the Imam, “I always stand by what I have said.”

Myxlplik says
Wrong again Muslims.
Hospitals were invented by the early Christianised Romans in the 4th Century, 2 Hundred years before Mohammed supposedly even existed.
If anything Muslims co-opted this idea, good for them, but like algebra, not their own. Nothing original about Islam, except its persistent barbarism.
Jay Boo says
Muslims deserve the credit for increasing the patient load by putting people in hospitals.

Negin Farsad and Dean Obeidallah are being paid by someone. Following the money will lead back to Gulf oil millionaires or secret service departments. They are fifth columnists sowing disinformation.
I give this project less than six months…the time it will take for mullahs to draft fatwas when these comics are accused of blasphemy and ordered to repent.
Jack Diamond says
Perhaps, but if they are purposely sowing disinformation why should there be fatwas on them? It’s true they lie lie lie about Islam, Muslims didn’t exactly invent lying but they did make it a fine art and way of life, but they are doing so for a targeted audience of kaffirs to protect Islam. One of the early stages of Hijrah doctrine is called “takmeen” which includes “reconciliation of the hearts” (Ta’leef al Qulub) which means making non-Muslims feel favorable toward Islam and Muslims. This presupposes lying, deception, and purposeful ambiguity. It was practiced by Muhammad, for instance lying to the Jews of Yathrib about how much he liked them and meant no harm while secretly making a pact to destroy them. Whether this is enough to cover for the “Dean of Comedy” saying Islam is alright with gay marriage etc. is another matter. One thing in his favor is that a) “there is no humor in Islam” and b) Dean Obeidallah is the least funny comedian ever. At least there he is Islamically correct.

It’s the phenomenon of the “fast Jihadists” and the “slow Jihadists”, Jack.
This pair are “slow Jihadists”–those willing to use Taqiyya, lawfare, and other forms of stealth Jihad. They figure they will impose Islam and Shari’ah on us eventually, in many cases using our own values and systems against us. They consider themselves more sophisticated than the “fast JIhadists”, and think the “fast Jihad” is often harmful for “making Islam look bad” before they are in enough power not to have to care.
The “fast Jihadists” despise the “slow Jihadists”, whom they consider tardy and possibly morally compromised by pretending to be civilized and friendly to us. They engage in violent Jihad, and think this is the only way to go for a true Muslim. They are frequently happy to slap Fatwas on slow Jihadists.
This is, in fact, a recognition from Hugh Fitzgerald himself, and it explains a lot:
“Fitzgerald: Appeasement and the fast and slow jihads”
http://www.jihadwatch.org/2005/09/fitzgerald-appeasement-and-the-fast-and-slow-jihads
These approaches seem very different–often even to those waging them. But in the end they work in tandem–often after Jihad terror attacks, many Westerners are apt to ignore or even embrace the tenets of the slow Jihad, which seems superficially more civilized.
A frequent example would be a Jihad bombing, followed by a slew of Iftar dinners and appeasing projects in the schools providing a whitewash of Islam.

When one examines the many Muslim claims of leading in discovery in science and culture, the many claims are found to be exaggerations, humbug and outright fabrications. This is not surprising, since most of the Islamic foundational literature…hadiths, Sira and Koran itself…are found to fabrications, conflations and outright plagiarisms.
When Muslims ‘invent’ something, it is found that they have merely appropriated someone else’s ideas as their own and given them an Arabic name…as is the case with al-gebra.
Islam is not a light to the world, but an extinguisher of the light of learning.

Robert,
It would be nice if you wrote about the so called “Golden Age of Islam”. I had so many muslims mention it and I don’t know what to say. They all claim that in this age muslims have advanced humanity with Algebra and math, and that it was a “multi-cultural paradise, unlike any other place on earth”. I also read somewhere that this is just muslim propaganda, as Ottoman Empire was way too religious and that Islam prevented any of their people from having creativity, because Islam suppressed it every time.
It would be nice if you wrote one article about this “Golden Age”. I don’t know who to believe in, but have a feeling it’s nothing less than propaganda muslims love shoving it in infidels’ faces. Thanks.

Wellington says
The fact that Hindus, Christians, Buddhists, Jews, Sikhs, et al. don’t have to put out a publication like this itself speaks volumes. Here is what is quite arguably another fact: Skepticism of Islam worldwide will never go down but only continue upwards, principally though not solely because Islam is a control-freak death cult for a certain percentage of Muslims when they don’t get their way.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Islam is a control-freak death cult for a certain percentage of Muslims when they don’t get their way.
What percentage is that? My guess is that for those who believe in Islam, the number is somewhere in the 100% range.
Wellington says
Let me clarify here, APF. The percentage of Muslims I was referring to are those who will themselves commit heinous actions in the name of their warped faith, based upon its directives, as well as those who will unambiguously support such actions. I hardly think Muslims like Zuhdi Jasser, President el-Sisi of Egypt or Irshad Manji could be placed in this category, though I exculpate no adult Muslim from being a Muslim because Islam is inherently malevolent with respect to many of its tenets and virtually all adults by now should know this.
As far as what this percentage is I referenced, the absolute lowest figure I would give it is 20% of Muslims worldwide. It is probably at least double this or more because the Islamic world is replete with ignoramuses, including many well educated ignoramuses, for instance highly trained clerics or imams. Someone like Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi comes to mind here as well as a great many associated with Al-Azhar University.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
When the Ayatollah said there is no fun in Islam, he mean no frivolous fun like with a happy person. But make no mistake that being a Moslem is fun in that they’re here to transform the world. It’s fun to be in control, to despise and destroy those of lesser beliefs. It’s a more fundamental fun, world takeover and transformation is the very basis of Islam. And it’s fun in the most satisfying way.
David says
According to the Encyclopaedia Britannica, the first hospitals (or healing centres) were Brahmanic hospitals in Sri Lanka, dating back to 431BC – about a thousand years before Islam came into being. See this link:-
http://www.britannica.com/topic/hospital
and read under the heading “History of Hospitals”.
The link goes on to state that the Romans established hospitals around 100 BC – a good 700 years before Islam came into existence.

How fun would this be!
billybob says
I have often imagined a peaceful demonstration with marchers silently holding up placards with (violent) verses from the Quran on it. They are silent because the verses speak for themselves. What are they gonna do? You can’t call this “hate speech” on the part of the marchers. The only “hate” is coming from the Quran. Make the Muslims defend the actual verses from the quran, hadiths and sunna, instead of letting them take the initiative by quoting peaceful verses. You could actually show some peace versus with a big stamp across the page saying “Abrogated” in hollowed out letters, letting the actual verses show through. Try to get some press. Say nothing about or to Muslims. This is just a quiet protest about the quran so only speak to Islam.

Isn’t it odd that Christians don’t take credit for the great inventions and scientific advances made by “Christian” scientists such as Isaac Newton? Nobody says that Christianity (i.e. Isaac Newton) invented the three laws of motion which form the basic principles of modern physics.
Similarly, although Albert Einstein was Jewish, the Jews don’t claim that it was the religion of Judaism that
was responsible for the concept of general relativity!

So true.

My favorite “fun fact” about Muslims is that everyday, somewhere on this planet, they kill, rape, and enslave in the name of Allah.

Yeah, I was wondering too, but I suspect it is spam from some Muslim.

I’m pretty sure JW has been hacked. Bare Naked Islam has been having the same problem.
Not the most vicious attack–more of an annoyance.
Seems apt given the story above, in fact…
Cameron says
The Hindus invented Algebra. Muslims invaded and translated the mathematical concepts and gave them an Arabic name.
Also some parts of the Islamic world preserved pieces of Classical Greek philosophy. These textx were not lost to Western Civilization though, they still existed in the later Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantine Empire if you must) but had disappeared in the western Germanic kingdoms that had been built where the Western Roman Empire used to be. Classical Greek Philosophy wasn’t lost to the West, it was simply kept in the Roman Empire where the barbarian kingdoms had little access to it. The West owes Islam nothing for preserving these ideas. They certainly don’t make up for the burning of libraries from the Iberian peninsula to the Hindu Kush.
Omi-san says
And since the supposed golden age 1300 years ago, what has Islam briught to the world in terms of science and art?
Islam only leaves destruction on its path. Any country with over 40% muslim population is a hell hole.

Hugh Fitzgerald: Fierce Hugs and Great Frittata Recipes
………………………………
I think I might look out for those “fierce hugs” if I were you…
More:
A man passes a poster promoting the new documentary film “The Muslims Are Coming” inside the City Hall subway station in the Manhattan borough of New York City
………………………………
In the trailer, someone asks them what they think about 9/11. The camera just cuts away–the viewer is supposed to feel that this is stereotypical, of outrageous–but it is actually a very salient question.
If Negin Farsad and Dean Obeidallah *really* wanted to do something to make Islam look better, they would take their Jihadist coreligonists to task.
But of course they won’t–this is all about lulling the “filthy Infidels” into a false sense of security regarding Muslims–that, of course, and instilling a sense of unearned guilt for having been “Islamophobic”.
More:
Their strategy is simple: make absurdist claims for Muslims that will point up, with that light-hearted mickey-mockery for which Muslims are famous, the idiocy of all those terrible charges by Islamophobes – you know, such preposterous claims as that “Muslims are taught that apostates should be killed” or “Muslims are responsible for more than 90% of ‘honor killings’” or “Muhammad consummated his marriage to little Aisha when she was nine years old” or “the Qur’an has 109 verses preaching Jihad” — crazy stuff like that. No, I didn’t find the hugs-and-frittatas funny, either.
………………………………
Yes–this mockery doesn’t address any of this–it just hopes it will make it so you are too embarrassed to ask.
More:
But there is something else going on as well. It’s the “informative” part. Here’s what’s on another poster:
Fact: Muslims invented the concept of a hospital (“informative”)
Instead, bemused by these two Muslim comics, we let down our guard, as they slip in the one claim where they are not being absurd but merely mendacious – and we accept it
………………………………
*Very* true. This falls into the copious category of false claims for Muslim inventions, where Infidels are supposed to feel that some of that Muslim savagery is offset by Muslims having discovered zero, or having invented a flying machine, or having spurred the Renaissance and the Enlightenment–none of which are true, but are commonly repeated tropes.
But yes–this Taqiyya is fairly slick.
More:
“There is no fun in Islam,” said Ayatollah Khomeini. Silly and playful, sinister and persistent, Negin Farsad and Dean Obeidallah don’t agree…
………………………………
Yeah–Muslims are a laff riot. Except when they aren’t. Dean Obeidallah only sporadically adopts the ‘wild and crazy guy’ persona–much of his stuff is completely dead pan Taqiyya about how toddlers are more dangerous than Muslim terrorists. This *sounds* like a comedy bit–if rather a sick one–but is not intended as such. He’s made the same claim for the Tea Party.
Thanks for covering this, Hugh–the “Muslim comic” is a nasty subset of the Taqiyya artist.

Okay–now we have videos popping up where I haven’t even linked to one.
I noticed that Bare Naked Islam is having the same problem.
I’ve already let Marc know about the problem–if he didn’t already.
Cecilia Ellis says
Graven, I had the same thing happen to me. My original comment on the evacuation of an Oklahoma elementary school evacuation now has a video inserted into it. I did not do that. I wish Marc could remove the video. It was not there when I originally posted the comment; in fact, it was not there earlier today. I linked to no video. Thanks for letting Marc know. And just in case it happens when I post this reply, there is no video contained in this comment; nor have I linked to any video.

re the hugs (and handshakes, too).
Here’s a story of a mohammedan human bomb who hugged someone (a fellow mohammedan whom he deemed insufficiently islamic] and then… blew himself up.
‘…The moment he stepped out of the car to check out this road between Fallujah and Amriyah, at this moment, there was a man,” the lawmaker’s office chief, Sohaib Haqi, said.
“He came to him, hugged him, said Allahu Akbar, and blew himself up.””

Suicide bomber kills Iraqi MP, 6 others

A suicide bomber has killed a Sunni Iraqi MP and six others after wrapping his arms around the lawmaker before blowing himself up, officials say.
and as for handshakes….

‘…One tip to young recruits was: “Avoid shaking hands with a strange Pathan. They will seize with their left hand and stab with their right.”..’.
as one unwary UK politician, Stephen Timms, found out, not so many years ago, when he shook the hand of a smiling doe-eyed hijabette., named Roshonara Choudhary – and even as she smiled at him and held his hand, with her other hand she whipped out a knife from her bag and shoved it into his guts… SURPRISE.
Mr Timms, remembering the attack, said – ‘She looked friendly. She was smiling, if I remember rightly.’
BRRR.
the israeli cartoonist ‘dry-bones’ has his sardonic take on this phenomenon of mohammedan treachery and infidel naivety.
http://drybonesblog.blogspot.com.au/2012/08/insider-attacks-in-afghanistan.html
and something else from the jihadwatch archives that should make us get a really, really creepy feeling about our smiling mohammedan comedians and their disinformation campaign.

“I could be joking and smiling and then cutting their throats in the next second”
i don’t trust our mohammedan comedians as far as I could kick them and I hope somebody is surveilling them 24/7.

Mickey, violent Jihad is just one part of the Muslim takeover strategy, which also includes “lawfare”, fake Muslim victimhood, whitewashing Islam through the media and the schools, and many other techniques–including the minor one of humor Jihad, as here.

More claptrap from these Muslim “comedians”:
“These Muslim Comedians Think Laughter Is The Best Medicine For Hate”

They openly say that the purpose of this is to lull Infidels into a sense of security. It is not about humor.
citycat says
Those Muslims are playing the clown to hide their internal intent to kill or convert every Infidel.
They’re playing for time, playing till the breeders produce enough Allah babies to take over or kill every Infidel.
Vicky says
I agree with previous commentators. This is a GREAT opportunity to put up anti-Islam posters. They could hardly complain, since they started it. Maybe Donald Trump could finance it.

Islam invented hospitals??? Errr, what about the huge hospital of Asclepius on Kos, Greece, which was operating for hundreds of years BC?
In fact, Muslims never invented anything. Please read:
Islamic Inventions were Roman, Greek and Persian.

FIRST HOSPITAL on theGreek Island of KOS……
Historical sites outside Kos Town
Asklepieion / Asclipieon (4th century BC) sacred hospital
Asklepieon is a must see place (admission: 4 Euros July 2007). It is located about 15 minutes drive from Kos Town or around 1.4 km from Platani village.
The Asklepieion is approached by 400m beautiful tarmac road with cypress trees on both sides.
The Asklepieion [4th century B.C.] on Kos island is one of three hundred sacred hospitals of Ancient Greece.
Demsci says
I really DO see their diabolic intention and success among gullible, superficial, quite young, inexperienced “Kuffars”, I do.
But this amounts essentially still to a defensive approach for Islam.
They aim for no more than a draw. To make Islam only as harmless and slightly beneficial to mankind as not all, but many of it’s competitors or lifestyles lacking religion.
One response might then be; Look, if, as you say, Allah, the Almighty INTERVENED, is THIS all HE was capable of??? A draw? With all the other religions and lifestyles in history, and those still now around?
Yes, yes, we can admit; the bad among Muslims was also done among other Humans, other sacred texts also were problematic,
but …. any good you mention that Islam brought, Kuffars already brought it, or afterwards brought something as good or much better, and in no way Islam distinquished itself as universally, or even on average, AS BETTER. You will never be able to broadly succeed with any such claim, as happening on earth. And heaven you don;t have a shred of proof for.
All Islam purportedly did good, Kuffars did also, or they improved it mightily (although you Muslims and Islam-defenders might reduce that to a draw).
All Allah can accomplish is a DRAW, with other gods, or mere humans. What conceivably then was the intention and use of HIS intervention??? Why did he stop in the 7th century???

There is a boatload of Islamic humor. Jibril gave Muhammad heavenly Viagra and he had the sexual energy of 4000 men. Allah wanted his prophet to be a raving sex maniac. Now that’s funny!

Thirteen Muslims plotted to murder my wife and 1,500 others in the building she worked in, still laughing about that one. Oh, and I still chuckle about the 1 hour security screening I go through every time I go through an airport.
