THE QUESTION has always been where can Muslims and non-Muslims go for social growth, and entertainment by us, for us, and about us?
The answer?
"Allah Made Me Funny : The Official Muslim Comedy Tour."
Australian/South Pacific Official Release!
Reflecting the diversity of the Islamic religion, as well as the diversity of this country, Azhar Usman, Preacher Moss, and Azeem Muhammad, a rising comedy star, have put down ego and pride to show the world a cooperation rarely seen in comedy. Through their commitment, they’ve brokered “a project built not on competition, but a coalition.”
"It is true that much comedy does little more than distract and degrade. But the best comedy deals with very serious issues indeed, and forces us to confront our vanities and prejudices. At a time when self-awareness and critical reflection is so desperately needed in the Muslim community, the comedy of Azhar Usman is to be applauded (and yes, clapping is permissible!)"
— Dr. Ingrid Mattson, Ph.D., VP of Islamic Society of North America, Plainfield, IN, and Professor of Islamic Studies, Hartford Seminary, Hartford, CT
