This book explores a topic on some of the biggest global controversies of recent decades. It is a book about humour and satire in and about Islam. The question is how the followers of Muhammad, a prophet who not only tolerated humour but also recommended it, perpetrated atrocities to avenge the mocking portraits of Muhammad. This book starts with an investigation into the physiology of laughter and its evolution before exploring the Quran and primary Islamic sources, as well as the classic humorous and satirical literature of Muslim peoples. Finally, it will address the confrontation between the Islamic civilization and the modern world.
