Funny shaikh on "Ikbis"


"Ikbis," which is for Arabs what "Youtube"is for the Western World features a hilarious vedio of a funny shaikh on a talk show that appeared on "Aljazeera."
Honestly, I can not remember the last time that I laughed so hard after watching a video, but this was absolutely funny. Somehow, I think we tend to internalize a fixated image of religious clerks as very serious and miserable folks who do not joke and take this life very seriously. However, clearly this shaikh proves that one can have it both ways; be religious and funny. Enjoy the vedio.

Did he just burb at one point?

Issa, I thought Ahmed Mansour was more funny even than the Shaikh himself.
Say, I do not any thing about the Shaikh if he is a scholar or not. I just that he was funny. He mixes Fusha with Aami language terms which make things hilarious. Anywat!

Religious clerks are mainly sex addict. They preach against in public and fantasize about it the rest of the day. Shifaa, did you notice that all of his examples are about sex!!!Well that is interesting
