That is the missing link in the Islamic makeup. Comedy. They are generally unable to see the funny side of anything, unless it is the pain of a Kuffir. With comedy comes self-citicism, another islamic non-no. Salman Rushdie made fun of the Prophet and his misbegotten intellectual product, a grave sin, literally.
