Humor in Early Islam, first published in 1956, is a pioneering study by the versatile and prolific scholar Franz Rosenthal (1914–2003), who (having published an article on mediaeval Arabic blurbs), should have written this text himself. It contains an annotated translation of an Arabic text on a figure who became the subject of many jokes and anecdotes, the greedy and obtuse Ashʿab, a singer who lived in the eighth century but whose literary and fictional life long survived him. The translation is preceded by chapters on the textual sources and on the historical and legendary personalities of Ashʿab; the book ends with a short essay on laughter. Whether or not the jokes will make a modern reader laugh, the book is a valuable source for those seriously interested in a religion or a culture that all too often but unjustly is associated, by outsiders, with an aversion to laughter.

Turkish German comedy culture and the lived realities of Turkish Muslims in Germany Comedy entertainment is a powerful arena for serious public engagement with questions of German national identity and Turkish German migration. The German majority society and its largest labour migrant community have been asking for decades what it means to be German and what it means for Turkish Germans, Muslims of the second and third generations, to call Germany their home. Benjamin Nickl examines through the social pragmatics of humour the dynamics that underpin these questions in the still-evolving popular culture space of German mainstream humour in the 21st century. The first book-length study on the topic to combine close readings of film, television, literary and online comedy, and transnational culture studies, Turkish German Muslims and Comedy Entertainment presents the argument that Turkish German humour has moved from margin to mainstream by intervening in cultural incompatibility and Islamophobia discourse. Ebook available in Open Access. This publication is GPRC-labeled (Guaranteed Peer-Reviewed Content).

Satire and comedy are powerful tools in politics, both to convince and to ridicule. As this original and bleakly humorous book attests, global jihadism is no exception.

Being a practicing Muslim in the West is sometimes challenging, sometimes rewarding and sometimes downright absurd. How do you explain why Eid never falls on the same date each year; why it is that Halal butchers also sell teapots and alarm clocks; how do you make clear to the plumber that it's essential the toilet is installed within sitting-arm's reach of the tap? Zarqa Nawaz has seen and done it all. And it's not always easy to get things right with the community either: Zarqa tells of being asked to leave the DBW (Dead Body Washing) committee after making unsuitable remarks; of undertaking the momentous trip to Mecca with her husband, without the children, thinking (most incorrectly) that it will also be a nice time to have uninterrupted sex; of doing the unthinkable, and creating Little Mosque on the Prairie, a successful TV sitcom about that very (horrified, then proud) community. You have to laugh.

If you've ever heard a Jewish, Muslim, Italian, Irish, Muslim, Libyan, Catholic, Mexican, Muslim, Muslim, Norwegian, or an Essex Girl, Newfie, Mother-in-Law, or joke aimed at a minority, this book of Muslim jokes is for you. In this not-so-original book, The Best Ever Book of Muslim Jokes; Lots and Lots of Jokes Specially Repurposed for You-Know-Who, Mark Young takes a whole lot of tired, worn out jokes and makes them funny again. The Best Ever Book of Muslim Jokes is so unoriginal, it's original. And, if you don't burst out laughing from at least one Muslim joke in this book, there's something wrong with you. This book has so many Muslim jokes, you won't know where to start. For example: Why do Muslims wear slip-on shoes? You need an IQ of at least 4 to tie a shoelace. *** An evil genie captured a Muslim and her two friends and banished them to the desert for a week. The genie allowed each person to bring one thing. The first friend brought a canteen so he wouldn't die of thirst. The second friend brought an umbrella to keep the sun off. The Muslim brought a car door, because if it got too hot she could just roll down the window! *** Did you hear about the Muslim who wore two jackets when she painted the house? The instructions on the can said: "Put on two coats." *** Why do Muslims laugh three times when they hear a joke? Once when it is told, once when it is explained to them, and once when they understand it.

Please allow me to explain. I'm a Muslim. I wrote this satiric book because I'm tired of turning on the news and seeing people (and I use the term loosely) who have Middle Eastern names doing terrible things in the name of my religion, i.e. forcing kidnapped children into marriage, beheadings, honor rapes, etc. A rational Muslim doesn't think these things please God. Sometimes, especially in the company of non-Muslim friends, I'm embarrassed to claim I worship under the big inclusive Islamic umbrella because of those people. I'm not alone. I estimate there are hundreds of millions of Muslims who feel the same way - probably the vast majority of the world's 1,600,000,000 Muslims. I have the ability to write this book to fight back; to try to reclaim what is ours. So I did. To the Muslim hate-mongers, please don't think this book vindicates your hate. Intolerance has never bred peace and camaraderie. Jesus didn't hate (or at least I don't think he did -- I'll keep it real, we haven't actually talked). As you'll see, nothing in this book insults the Islamic faith or any prophet. It's not hate speech. Its aim is to foster positive change within the Muslim world, through humor, poignant commentary and shame, by convincing "Muslims" to stop doing un-Islamic things in the name of Islam. It's not Islamic to put a Muslim man (or a man of any other faith) in a cage and to set him on fire. If just a few people who aim to join a terror group read this book and realize how un-Islamic their plan is, and how it's misguided to think terror pleases God, and instead decide to stay home, get an education, raise a family, be a positive member of the global community and live normal peaceful, lawful, loving lives, then this book will have done some good. This book is dedicated to the voiceless, peaceful people who died violently in the name of religion.
