My tweets appeared in Forbes, Examiner, NPR, and others, following Newsweek’s attempt to capitalise on its sensationalist front cover that showed enraged Muslims over the Prophet film (it’s a scary cover!). So the responses were hilarious #MuslimRage tweets from around the world.
Some of my highly trended tweets included:
“Get angry when the self proclaimed MSN Messenger pops up. There can be no other Messenger!” #MuslimRage.
“Eat, pray, pray, pray, pray, pray, love” #MuslimRage.
“Want to write a book called ‘Men are from Mecca, Women are from Medina” #MuslimRage.
(I admit, the last one I took out of my 2006 stand-up material :))
