Saudi Arabia: Finding Comedy in the Muslim World
Something tells me this is not what Albert Brooks had in mind when he wrote his ultra-PC film: Saudi Comedian Turns Suicide Bomber
An article in the Saudi Gazette of June 21, 2005, titled "Saudi Suicide Bomber was a Comedian," reported that one of its on-air employees was martyred in a terror attack in Iraq: "Al-Majd channel acknowledged this week that Saudi suicide bomber Muhammad Shazzaf Al-Shehri, who attacked the Al-Hamra Oasis Village compound in Riyadh on May 12, 2003, was a math teacher and a hired comedian for the television station."It further stated: "Just as the Ministry of Education was shocked to be informed that one of their own mathematics teachers was a suicide bomber, and just as King Saud University was also shocked that one of its former students and associates was a suicide bomber, Al-Majd channel also is shocked that one of its freelance comedians was a suicide bomber."[...]
Read the whole thing for a sample of Muhammad Shazzaf Al-Shehri's brand of comedy.
