If ever there was a CULT demanding to be made fun of, it is Islam.

Making fun of Islam is pointless: it already IS a joke.

They don’t seem to have a problem with insults thrown at every other religion.

Q. What do you say to a Muslim with his arm all the way up a camel’s rump?
A. “Having car trouble?”

“An Englishman, Frenchman, American and a Saudi on a plane going to the U.N. in New York when all of a sudden there’s engine trouble!
The pilot says over the P.A. system that there’s only one parachute onboard.

The Englishman, ever the gentleman steps up, opens the door, shouts “GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!” And jumps.

The Frenchman, always the effin copycat steps up, goes to the door and shouts “VIVE LA FRANCE” and jumps into the abyss.

The yank then steps up, looks out the door at the two bodies gathering speed toward the ground, takes a step back then shouts “REMEMBER 9/11” and throws the Arab out the door!”

The real joke is 0bama is sending $1,500,000,000 of our tax dollars borrowed from China to support the Muslim Brotherhood. Now that's a real side slapper!
