Negin Farsad is one of my favorite comedians and is doing a great job as a positive influence in these awful times of ours. She now rules the airwaves with her podcast, "Fake The Nation" to explain (comedically) what a farce our current administration is. This movie is a heartfelt attempt for her others to reach more people in the heartland through the power of funny... We love you, Negin!

I spent the last four years at a Renaissance Festival in Georgia playing a 16th century Ottoman telling Nasruddin stories for three 45-minute sets a day. If you don't know, Nasruddin tales are these brilliant, funny, 600 year old folktales (mostly from Suffi tradition) still told in Muslim families. I got death threats occasionally, and was called terrorist pretty frequently, casually and in passing, but then people listened to the stories and laughed and smiled and had a good time. After the first few days, I made a point to talk, joke and play with people who tried to call me terrorist and get them to smile and laugh before I moved on, and was happy to see that a lot of people seemed to warm up. Meeting ignorance with humor, especially from smart comics who can think on their feet, seems to do good, and it's nice to see it in this video.

I was raised almost my entire life in the Middle East and I find this film presenting some of the complicated topics and different views among Muslims them selves. Even the comedians in the film have different views and opinions of particular issues such as what it means to be a Muslim and bringing there own experiences and background to these topics. I think the movie is trying to show that there is not one kind of image of Islam or Muslims, not even two or three or ten. It is a pretty diverse structure with varies opinions, laws, culture, traditions and even practices just like any society.

I really like the part about Middle Easterns suck on gender issues because I personally suck at it very much! I'm certainly going to watch it again to understand the jokes faster! As a non-native English speaker, I laughed at jokes when it was no longer a joke anymore!

If you just lecture people, they're going to tune out. If you make them laugh, they might actually stick around long enough to listen. That's what this movie does. You laugh, then you think. It's exactly what Lenny Bruce and Prior and Carlin did in their day and what Chris Rock and CK are doing now. A generation from now, I can totally see history profs using this movie as an example of where we (hopefully) were back then.

Hilarious. I love non-pc humour and this is filled with it.

Now I may not be the most objective person for this review since I love New Yorkers anyway. However, as a professional writer, I can say that this film delivers on its premise with a great celebration of life.

The story follows young Muslim comedians on a mission to discover America's attitude toward their religion. You can see their frustration at times as they explore the United States seeking out potential friends and foes of their ethnicity. As this concept is explored further, you realize how tongue-in-cheek the idea is of someone rejecting or accepting you based on your bone structure and skin tones. Our heroic travelers always embrace the absurdity of things uttered by ignorant people and are more patient than I would have been in their shoes.

This film features a great many headline comedians such as: Jon Stewart and Lewis Black, which is where you get most of the activist messages. What the directors have done here is brilliant, as they have personified the message of support for Muslims using mostly famous icons. While they do sometimes speak to the pain of being a Muslim, the comedians spend much of their time trying to show people how warm and enjoyable they are. This leads to a pleasant film depicting some fun and sophisticated young people at play in the heartland, despite the attitudes of others.

Although there were a lot of clips from the news media showing the defamation of Muslims, I was dismayed that there wasn't a presentation showing the relationship between Islamic radicals and the media. Specifically how these extremist groups are fueled by the news media, and in large part, a result of their sensational coverage. While I know the film wanted to avoid talking about extremists, I believe there is a strong case to be made about the news media contribution to acts of terrorism. For example, if you commit [insert violent act], the news media will tout the name of your group, show your videos, and essentially give you all the free recruiting PR one could ever want.

I do understand; however, with all of the ignorance regarding Muslims in America, why they decided not to take that stance with the film. As an olive branch to create better relations between Muslims and their neighbors, this film does its job well- without preaching or being condescending. Long story short, this is a warm hug from some great Americans who just want people to chill out and enjoy the beauty of one another.

MOST IMPORTANTLY: The film did not leave me with any feelings of hate or anger. It was extremely peaceful, intelligent, and worthy of my time. After watching this, hopefully everyone will get the same feeling I did, which is that we are fortunate to have Americans with this type of passion, and if we can relax a bit while ignoring the media hype long enough, they might have the opportunity to enrich our lives-- as they have done already in making this film. -Irish.
