The Leahy Lounge

Muhammad was a joker. That's according to the Muslim comedy troupe Allah Made Me Funny, which has been touring the country getting Muslims and non-Muslims to laugh about painful topics such as terrorism and racial profiling. At a show in Detroit, comedian Yusef Ahmed ran onto the stage yelling "Allah is Great" and threw half a dozen rubber grenades into the audience. The crowd briefly panicked, but Ahmed quickly assured them that it was all a gag. Marge Shultz described the scene: "We were terrified, people were trampling each other. But when I realized it was all a joke, I laughed so hard I wet myself. We had a great time."
