Islam's Life of Brian?


Why the West Is Best -Ibn Warraq

Ayatollah Khomeini once said, there are no jokes in Islam. The West is able to look at its foibles and laugh, to make fun of its fundamental principles: but there is no equivalent as yet to Monty Python’s Life of Brian in Islam. Can we look forward, someday, to a Life of Mo? Probably not—one more small sign that Western values remain the best, and perhaps the only, means for all people, no matter of what race or creed, to reach their full potential and live in freedom.

Sure. You won't get an argument here. Neither of us could have our blogs the way they are in a repressive society!
