A MUSLIM WOODY ALLEN?
The Comedic Aspirations of a Canadian Filmmaker
Contrary to the impression most of we non-Muslim Westerners have about Muslims, at least some of them have a sense of humor.
See, for example, this story in The Washington Post about the satirical films created by Canadian filmmaker Zarqa Nawaz, a Muslim woman.
Nawaz apparently follows her religion faithfully yet with her tongue firmly planted in cheek when it comes to Muslim manners, attitudes and culture as well as Western perceptions of and attitudes toward Muslims.
