Cover of Lina Molokotos-Liederman & Bernard Schweizer: Muslims and Humour (PDF)

This thought-provoking collection offers a multi-disciplinary approach on the subject of humour, Muslims, and Islam.

This unprecedented scholarship sheds new light on common misconceptions about humour and laughter in Islam and deftly tackles sensitive themes from blasphemy to freedom of speech. Chapter 9 is available Open Access via OAPEN under CC-BY-NC-ND licence.
