It’s An
Islamist Christmas, Charlie Brown!
In the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, you may have
missed one of the Christmas season’s most intriguing — and
potentially inflammatory – parody videos.
Comedian Denis Leary‘s production company, Apostle, posted a
Charlie Brown spoof that is sure to cause some laughter, anger
and — confusion.
Perhaps Gothamist describes it best as a “very uncomfortable
jihadist joke.” The premise of the short clip is that Charlie
Brown converts from Christianity to Islam. As the video
progresses, its themes become increasingly controversial.
What starts with Charlie saying, ”I’m so depressed. I think I’m
losing my faith in Christianity,” ends with the beloved
character in hell awaiting 72 virgins. Leary, who’s been known
for his controversial work and commentary in the past, tackles
other issues as well: praying facing mecca and Islamic garb,
among other elements. source – The Blaze
