"...people seem to have this impression that Muslims and comedy don't go together; that somehow we can't reconcile humour with our faith."

Humor? Yes, a dark humor, as we visualize a Muslim, sweat beads rolling down his forehead, white-knuckling a steering wheel, chanting, "allah akhbar, allah akhbar, allah akhbar..." The absurdity of martyrdom has a sort of dark humor to it. We think, "WTF are they doing?" and chuckle at their desire for premature death.

And besides: Islam is funny in the way that a Monty Python sketch about the British Dark Age "rationale" is funny.
