A FATWA AGAINST UNFUNNY PARODIES

James Joyner | Tuesday, December 9, 2003

Meryl Yourish doesn’t find Allah Pundit very funny. Indeed, she finds his parody of anti-Semitism offensive.

Frankly, as a general rule, if your entire blog is the same joke over and over, it probably ain’t funny. Of course, judging by the voting over at Wizbang, either a lot of people or a very few very committed people disagree with me.

I've already said my piece on the Allah blog before, but I think the site, aside from being annoying for repeating the same joke over and over, insults Muslims in general, including moderate Muslims. If it was Mullahpundit, it wouldn't be as bad, but Allahpundit is an affront to an entire faith rather than just the fundamentalists.
