Remember when Katie Couric asked a few months ago if America needed a “Muslim Cosby Show” in order get rid of “Islamaphobia?” Regular readers of this site know that one exists — in Canada.
But since our neighbors to the north are so far ahead of us, Jon Stewart decided to try and jumpstart the American version by having one of his Daily Show correspondents, funny man Aasif Mandvi, create a pilot episode for the American “Qu’osby show.”
The segment does included parts of an actual pilot, but also a focus group cleverly edited to fit Couric’s Islamaphobia stereotype. We’ll let you decide who Stewart and Mandvi are mocking more:

Posted on February 18, 2011 at 10:16amSure were all just in stitches John Stewart …How about we have a show where they cut off heads. In the name of Muhammad. When the day comes I just wonder if he will defend himself or just try to be funny as they kill him. The left learns one by one as see this past week …These aren’t the cute funny furry little people they think they are. Especially when their gang rapping or blowing something up. So go ahead john just climb the wall and go pet one…. it will be fine….The rest of us will all watch …

Posted on February 18, 2011 at 10:04amThis is no joking matter. All the comedy in the world will not change the mind of the extremist muslims You would think Jonathan Stewart Leibovitz would know better. I can’t quite understand liberal Jewish people. Will he wake up when they wipe Israel off the face of the map? Many muslims have said they want Israel destroyed. You don’t have to look to hard to find this sentiment.

Posted on February 18, 2011 at 1:37pmHave you not watched Jeff Dunham’s show with his terrorist puppet character. It is a riot. Humor is always based in truth. That’s why these segments are so funny. Even the, seemingly, stereotypical jabs are based in truth, i.e. the terrorist uncle, blowing up, etc. These are facts about many muslim sects at large, and they are made fun of…not light of so much. The Islamic faiths are really a joke anyway.. a dangerous joke, but a joke.

Posted on February 18, 2011 at 9:43amI simply laughed……it showed, to me anyway, the absurdity of such a show. I have also watched several of the Mosque on the Prarrie episiodes and found much of them to be funny. They also show the absurdity of the affect of dumbing down our awareness in regards to the dangers within our nation and the world at large regarding evil Islamic forces.
I have already made my mind up, long ago, that the quran is not the will of any god because satan is NOT a god….he is a looser. And, I have already decided that the muslim faith (worldly government without a god) is a danger everywhere it exists. To have a show like this or LMOTP , in light of current events, reveals the absurdities of the faith.

If we are not on the verge of the Rapture, we are so close. Please, read and study your Bibles. Check on your friends and family to see where they are “spiritually”. JESUS is coming soon for HIS kids and you do not want to be left behind in a world without CHRISTIANS.
These people, the left, the marxists, communists are mocking GOD. If we CHRISTIANS continue to permit this, GOD will not, HE cannot have mercy on us. We must stand up for GOD against satan. Remember, ” HE WHO is in you is greater than he who is in the world.” And, “WE are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.” We are told the world will hate us for we are not of the world, but only in it for a while. “People, get ready, JESUS IS COMING!”
“If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”

For the part of bombing of Mecca and Meddina, by the US, that would be the same as anyone attacking and destroying the original constitution or commiting a mass attack upon the nation at a school full of kids…rage would swiftly be followed by the fiercest of retaliations.

Posted on February 18, 2011 at 3:04pmI’m pretty sure the point The Daily Show is trying to make is that a lighthearted comedy is not going to end prejudice. There are people out there who want to believe that all Muslims are terror loving rapists who murder babies and making a comedy showing Muslims as everyday Americans isn’t going to change their minds. They only want to see portrayals of Muslims that fit their world view.
Look, for example, at the horrible assault of Laura Logan. The anti-Muslim crowd claims that this horrible act is an example of the evil of Muslim culture, but they forget that the people who rescued her were also Muslims. And the absurdity of what the people on the panel on the Daily Show are saying is extremely obvious because the person they are saying this to is a Muslim. I especially like the person who claimed Islam had great marketing. If Islam had awesome marketing, I don’t think so many people would think they were all terrorists.
