Thought for the day [Mark Steyn]

“There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humor in Islam. There is no fun in Islam. There can be no fun and joy in whatever is serious."

- Ayatollah Khomeini

Not much of a thought really: not many muslims identify with khomeiny's brand of islam. as for the others, it isn't a surprise.

Define "many". And, is that a provable assertion, or is this just talking through the gerbil hole?

Well the sunnis certainly don't. Neither do the wahabis, druzes and other subgroups. And then among the shiites, I would imagine a similar proportion that pay attention to your wacky evangelicals - the conservatives that is. What does your gerbil hole say ?
