Here's why it IS funny

It's very funny, and though there are many righteous people of different faiths, Muslims today and Christians for many years have insisted that only people from their own respective religions had any value and that all others would be eternally punished. And that is an idea worth making fun of. On the other hand, Judaism recognizes that all people have value and will be judged by their actions rather than their religious affiliation.

Yes, FUNNY!

To Frances: Though many Evangelical Christians are overwhelmingly in support of Israel (...for reasons which are not always entirely altruistic,) the New Testament tends to focus almost singularly on the Jews as being the bad guys. So does the Koran of the Islamic faith. Historically, Jews have had to endure many abuses from the adherents of these other religions; so, all things considered, there is nothing askew about the context of this skit.

To David: It would not have been as funny if the skit had been about Jews and Christians against Muslims or Jews and Muslims against Christians because Jews do not have a history of abusing people of other faiths; and secondly, among these three major religions, Jews are the only ones who are truly capable of laughing at themselves. These other guys are too tense and uptight. Christians would have written the network a flurry of indignant letters, and Muslims might have rioted and burned cars. Think it's not possible? Just look at what happened in Europe over mere cartoons just a couple of years ago.

Wow

See, to me sarcasm has a wonderful way of making us all take another look at the world. This piece is brilliant. As for the schvontz who didn't like it, lighten up and throw a couple of sugar cubes in the coffee pal, life's a journey.

This short debate says it all, and says it well. I'm sure we can agree that, logically, no other position is possible.

It´s to dangerous

BS"D

It could be verty very dangerous to do something like that, because we Know that not every human being and religous has the same sense of humor.

That´s a very friendly and modest opinnion

No, not funny. Who ever wrote this doesn't really know how all Christians feel. As for myself, I do like Jews (and Muslims). I may disagree with their theology. Besides this show is just sarcastic.

Was not slightly This was funny

Frances,
Although I can understand you feelings, I disagree - This was funny - no doubt funny - and if it had been the Jew and the Christian agreeing that evertone hates stinky Muslims it still would have been funny or even the Muslim and the Jew discussing how drinking blood and eating the body of Jesus makes the Christians condone canabalism (now there is a great idea for another clip). Even my most Jewish friend, Crazy Joe and his boooring and double boooring friends would agree.

mixed feelings

im usually a fan of jon stewart and his show. Yet after viewing this clip, i have mixed feelings. I am not too happy that the common ground found between christian and muslim was a common dislike of the jew. it seems to send the wrong message to potential viewers of this clip.
