[QUOTE=BeliefnetSabee;400128][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2]After Friday prayers an Imam announced to the people:
"I have good news and bad news. The good news is, we have enough money to pay for our new building program. The bad news is, it's still out there in your pockets."
I read a lot of Mulah Nasrudin jokes in the past, some were quite clever and very funny to me; just now I searched and so many were corny.
One that I recall and liked went like this;
Mullah Nasrudin went to a taylor to get his coat fixed.
The taylor told him " Your coat will be ready in three days , if Allah wills it!. Come back then"".
Three days later Nasruddin goes to get his coat but the taylor says he had been busy.
" Your coat will be ready in three days , if Allah wills it!.
Come back then""
This delay happens again.
Mullah Nasrudin says "How long will it take if we leave Allah out of this?"
A Muslim couple is seated in a restaurant in the Detroit area. In the booth next to them, a non-Muslim couple begins to talk, loudly.
“We’ve got to take a vacation, I need to get away from here”, the husband says, “there are too many Muslims here”!
“Where do you want to go”, the wife asks, and then adds, “how about London, I hear it’s lovely this time of year”.
“Are you crazy”, the husband bellows, “the place is crawling with Muslims”!!!
“Well, how about India”, the wife offers, “I’ve always wanted to see the Taj Mahal”!
“Ugh…..never”, the husband hisses in disgust, “nothing but Muslims there”!
The Muslim man in the next booth had tried to remain calm in the face of the bigotry but couldn’t help but defend the faith of his and his wife. He stood up in his booth and peered over at other man.
“Why don’t you try going to hell”, he said sharply, “not very many Muslims there”!

LOL oh my gosh I seriously laughed really hard at that! Thanks! Maybe it's not as funny if you're not a Muslim but this reminds me *exactly* of the announcements at the Masjid all the time. I think if the imam said that for real I might give even more than usual.
I've got a good Islam joke:
A Muslimah is walking down a road in Cairo when it starts to rain on her. A taxi cab comes by and the driver says, "Salaam sister, do you want a ride?"
"No," she says, "Allah will save me."
The rain keeps falling until the water is up to her waist. A second taxi cab comes by and the driver says, "Salaam sister, do you want a ride?"
"No," she says, "Allah will save me."
The rain falls faster still until the water is up to her neck. A third taxi cab comes by and the driver says, "Salaam, sister, do you want a ride?"
"No," she says, "Allah will save me."
Finally the rain falls until the water is above her head and she drowns. When she finds Allah once she is dead, she says, "What happened? Why didn't you save me??"
Allah said, "Well, lady...I kind of tried three times!"

An Imam shocked his community when he announced that he was resigning from that particular Masjid and moving to a drier climate. Afterwards a very distraught lady came to the Imam with tears in her eyes, "Oh, Imam, we are going to miss you so much. We don't want you to leave!" The kind hearted Imam said "Now, now, sister, don't carry on. The Imam who takes my place might be even better than me".
"Yeah", she said, with a tone of disappointment in her voice, "That's what they said the last time too."
I always remember that for every word typed there is a real person sitting behind the keyboard.
