Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World with Al Jazeera
Albert Brooks
Albert Brooks' new film (Rated PG-13,Runtime: 98 min) traces the journey of a comedian sent by the U.S. government to India and Pakistan to find out what makes Muslims laugh and simultaneously a hilarious novel has been published by a former Al Jazeera journalist, Afshin Rattansi - in which the humour of the muslim author is quite tangible.
In the final novel in the quartet "The Dream of the Decade" (published in one volume by Booksurge, ISBN 1-4196-1686-2) the way established broadcasters describe other cultures is mercilessly attacked. An ingenue TV news journalist is interviewed at the beginning and quizzed as to why he thinks that the deaths of a thousand of another color equate to one American.
Afshin Rattansi is one Muslim who has certainly found comedy.
