By google_it

A certain man claimed to be a prophet and was brought before the Sultan, who said to him, "I bear witness that you are a stupid prophet!" The man replied, "That is why I have only been sent to people like you."

Marhab, I bet that made you sober within a snap!

Google it, I think you didn't get the joke yourself either. Ask the admin to delete it.

This comment was very misguided and unfortunate that the chap decided to write it at all. Oh well, Cést la vie!

this is too weird.

the joke wasn't even understood - and why 'pro' so offended? it was just a joke! i'm sure if it mentioned any other race than Arab's you would have laughed - if understood, that is.

where is the sense of HUMOR people?!?!?!

HEY YOU... Why dont you say sorry and delete your joke and that is all. next time think before you write any thing. Arab and Muslims are very friendly they forgive and they accept sorry as well. it is solved if you want to. will be expecting some sorry for your side even you did't mean something bad. i am sure the subject will be closed after.

I don't find it offensive because I don't consider it a religious joke. We all know that the (Catholic) priest is a favorite character in humor and jokes but it doesn't offend a Catholic because it is the essence of the joke and not the personality. Can we consider this thread an extreme case of bad joke or insult to someone's belief?

who's this person? my dear if you are out of your mind or sick I advise you to go your home country and visit doctor because not always you can be safe using stupid mind. for the ppl who did not get the joke. if you are Arabic it is better that you don't get it because you will not like it. IT IS FUN ON US. WAKE UP MY FRIEND AND READ BEFORE YOU POST.

Sultan is Ruler of Muslim Country! That is why some Muslims might find it insulting-it is a religous joke-a bad one at that!!

I dont see anything offensive from this joke since i dont understand it. the poster knows his intention. i dont know who the prophet is , if its our prophet of course that is offensive but the guy knows his intention, so i dont take this one offensive at all.

was it the title mentioning Arab? How do we relate the joke as an insult to Islam? Please enlighten me, maybe, I am missing something here, I don't want to be misunderstood as some of our friends "seems to be" towards the poster of this thread.

Something not said seriously, or not actually meant; something done in sport.

Also defending Arabs-This is an Arab country and you should think before posting such jokes as they might offend someone-especially if it is about culture or religion-people take these very seriously

Samya I think the joke is that the stupid prophet was sent to the stupid Sultan. Now that I've said it I'm sure even the faintest hope of it sounding funny is lost

the good characteristics of a Muslim and I seconded the list that it should be practiced by all humans. If the poster unintentionally offended anybody, let us be compassionate enough to accept his apology or explanation. IMHO, I find no offense in the post, we should just asked where he copied it because this joke has a lot of parallelism in other jokes and we are not offended by the others.
