Islamic Fundamentalist Bit

I was at a big club on Tuesday and decided to do my Islamic Fundamentalist routine. I don't always do it because it uses props and that is always dicey. However the going was good that night and I put the props on and launched the routine.

In my routine, I imitate an Islamic Fundamentalist who uses logic to defend ancient practices, by pointing out the illogic of pop culture. In the process it makes the Fundamentalist seem like a dirty but likeable old man. That night while it did not fetch as many laughs as my other stuff, it still got good laughs and a long applause. Afterwards one guy bought me drinks and several came by to talk.

One woman approached me and thanked me because she had been angry about the Middle East all week and my routine helped her laugh and get over her peeve.

I hope the Muslims find my routine complimentary as well. Then I will have achieved something with comedy.
