Jokes / Joke du jour!

It just put me in mind of gammons with pig Mohammad t-shirts on, which isn't really a good look.

fair

What do you call a man with two hams on his head?

in reference to the previous post - not the t-shirt one!

It was a joke based on wordplay, nothing more.

depicting Muhammed and making reference to a depiction of Muhammed are two different things

Bravo @snottyotter, what a succinct and insightful summary of the situation.

Boo-hiss @NotSafeForSalad for totally missing the point. Yes, to you, it's a word play. You aren't the one that might be extremely offended by a certain religious figure appearing as a bit-part in a funny funny wordplay joke.

You can't tell me that's a coincidence

but if it is just ignorant insensitivity it doesn't hurt to point it out in case it makes someone less ignorant and insensitive.

I thought the joke was funny, but I don't do religion. However I understand why some people believe in something and was completely unaware of the whole prophet depiction thing, whether it's Muhammad or another religious prophet.

So Nostradamus figures 😄

The joke itself is fine but works just as well with another prophet I guess. The not showing depictions of Mohammed is the root of all the lovely geometric Islamic art you see and also the reason Charlie Hebdo were targeted by extremists. It's quite a seriously held belief all round I think, not like don't drink booze, which most Muslims I've know don't do but don't care if you do if you're hanging out together, it's also really easy to not do. I realise actual depictions and referencing depictions is different but I'd say having little Mohammed toys as part of a joke is at least insensitive, so probably unnecessary. Anyway back to the lulz.

I'm on the fence on this one, but when I first read it winced - expecting the Mohammed figurine to form part of the punchline - which in itself is telling I suppose.

Better than taking off-fence I guess.

A mere coincidence? I think not.
Secret signalling!

Ha. That's funny.

All fair points, and I’ve taken them on board. I came up with the gag on a bit of wordplay, and I simply used Muhammad as he/she/it is right now the best known of the commonly associated prophets. I did genuinely tell it to a Muslim friend, and he didn’t take offence, perhaps he was being polite, I dunno.

@Mr_Sworld

On the other side I’d argue depicting Muhammed and making reference to a depiction of Muhammed are two different things. Where do you draw the line?

Around the face, then two dots for eyes

Ha, ha. :-)
