Here once again we see the Ayatollah Khomeini’s famous dictum: “Allah did not create man so that he could have fun. The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and prayer. An Islamic regime must be serious in every field. There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humor in Islam. There is no fun in Islam. There can be no fun and joy in whatever is serious.”
“Iranian Satirist Reportedly Detained By Security Agents After Home Searched,” Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, August 3, 2023 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Shaker Buri, an Iranian satirist known for his humorous critiques of the country’s state of affairs, has reportedly been detained by the Intelligence Office of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) in the southwestern city of Abadan.
His arrest comes amid a crackdown on celebrities, and sports and cultural figures in the country who have supported protesters angered by the death of a young woman in police custody last year for an alleged violation of the mandatory head-scarf law.
Buri went missing on July 31 after visiting the IRGC Intelligence Office in Abadan to retrieve his mobile phone after it was confiscated during a raid on his home by plainclothes officers, according to social-media reports. Since his disappearance, he has reportedly been unable to contact his family.
Several prominent public figures have been summoned by the police or arrested in recent months, with officials warning women to respect the hijab law.
Since the death in September 2022 of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini while in police custody after allegedly breaking the hijab law, Iranians have flooded the streets across the country to protest against a lack of rights, with women and schoolgirls putting up unprecedented shows of support in what is considered one of the biggest threats to the Islamic government since the 1979 revolution….

Luckily for us infidels we don’t need allah and we really really like satire.
As some apologist might say :”if a muslim kills an innocent infidel..it is as if he has killed all the muslims in the world” and “if a satirist is attacked it is as if all the comedians in the world are killed”
allah didn’t create man so he could have fun.But..but…
allah didn’t even create himself properly..what with his One Leg and his Two right hands.
Why should anyone take allah seriously?
sing it!
“{allah} he wants the whole world..in his two right hands”
Athmanathan Seetharaman says
Is man’s life to end in misery and suffering? Hinduism speaks of ultimate bliss not connected to the sense perceptions. Music and comedy are integral parts of life not to be wasted in foolish Islamic concepts of dreary existence typical of the desert culture.
