As Shiites and Sunnis continue to knock each other off in Iraq and rant against the West, the search for a new Muslim sect has become urgent.
The revolutionary spin off, to be called Smiley Muslims, has only one religious duty: smiling.
No member is encouraged to carry a gun or don a suicide belt. Not even to rave on about how holy Islam is compared to any other religion and vow to kill all the infidels. Even praying five times a day or shouting "God is great!" is not required.
In fact, the Smiley Muslim is sort of the Islamic equivalent of Peter Sellers in Being There, with an ever-present, angelic smile. This is the sole reformative duty of the sect to Allah.
The new group is expected to quickly become the most popular and well-liked Muslim sect in history.
Tom Attea, humorist and creator of NewsLaugh.com, has had six shows produced Off-Broadway. Critics have called his writing "delightfully funny," "witty," with "good, genuine laughs" and "great humor and ebullience." |
