This thought-provoking collection offers a multi-disciplinary
approach on the subject of humour, Muslims, and Islam. Beginning
with theoretical perspectives and scriptural guidance on
permissible and restricted humour, the volume presents a variety of
case studies about Muslim comedic practices in various cultural,
political, and religious contexts. This unprecedented scholarship
sheds new light on common misconceptions about humour and laughter
in Islam and deftly tackles sensitive themes from blasphemy to
freedom of speech. Chapter 9 is available Open Access via OAPEN
under CC-BY-NC-ND licence.
