Allah Made Me Funny

[World]

I came across the "Allah made me funny" tour and found some clean wholesome humour from some islamic comedians.

What I mean by islamic comedians as opposed to muslim comedians - is that there are some amongst the latter group that breach the "halaal" barrier just to make people laugh.

I was looking for cleaner alternatives to Peter Russell and Chris Rock for my younger cousins who have a soft spot for such humour. Baba Ali was a good alternative for them but they wanted more...

These guys seemed OK from what I heard but I didn't check out everything - so please get back to me if you find anything dodgy.

It's nice to see them tackling some of the "taboo" topics and to boldly step where no comedian has stepped before...

Anyway check them out and let me have your comments :-

Loved the crack about "muslims are always speeding everywhere ! so why is it that they are always late ? " - personal favourite !

They can also be traced under their individual names :-

It would be nice to see some young muslims in the UK doing a similar thing.

If anyone knows about UK islamic comedians then please post up some details.

Many thanks.

Enjoy.
