Is nothing sacred? Not to Omar Imran, Twitter's top talent for Muslim laughs!

Published March 8th, 2016 - 09:34 GMT

What ever happened to "if you can't say something nice, say nothing at all?" Seems mama's credo goes out the window when it comes to politics and comedy.

Donald Trump spews snappy soundbites that shatter standards of political decorum, exhibiting all the tics of Tourette syndrome while purportedly saying what many think. There's a Muslim pundit doing similar on social media, using a sharp wit to expose un-believers to a lighter side of Islam, and encourage Muslims targeted by bad press to keep calm and carry on. Catch the comedy of Omar Imran, Twitter's top talent for Islamic laughs!

Imran is prolific, posting several times daily under #omarimran on Twitter, with nearly 70,000 followers tracking his tweets. He's got another 168,000 followers on Facebook. Watch how he deflates religious stereotyping with humor while encouraging everyone to keep it light.

His critics say the New Zealander comic steals material, re-posting other's content without crediting the source. Welcome to social media! The young funnyman does make clear that he "aggregates", supplementing his own material with spoofs he finds online.

Some slight of hand on Photoshop turns Kanye West to "Kanye East".

Omran posted this shot of London's iconic "gherkin" building with the caption, "This is a skyscraper in London. Am I the only one who thinks it looks like a Niqabi?" He re-posted it with a more questionable quip,"London: Maybe if we make our building look like a Muslim Niqabi they won't fly a plane through it." which grabbed even more fan likes!

Poking fun at large Muslim clans, he captioned this, "Let's make a WhatsApp group for the family!"...then indicated several hundred "members".

"Our Parents be like..." is a frequent riff. Imran also spoofs Islamic engagement rituals, marriage proposals, and relationships in general, while carefully concealing his own romantic status.

"Ma'sha'Allah, Brother Leonardo grew a beard & straight away Allah got him an Oscar," he said of The Revenant star. Later showing his more serious side by re-posting the same image with this tag,"Leonardo Di Caprio could have talked about anything in his acceptance speech but the man decided to highlight climate change. #Respect"

"If Facebook was run by Muslims", or, "Emojis to use when asking her dad for her hand."

Canadian rapper Drake makes frequent appearances on Imran's feed, usually dressed as a woman.

"Had to buy this car because all 4 of my wives wanted to sit at the front."

Former 1-D singer Zayn Malik gets zinged with, "When you're half Donald Trump fan & half fan of Zam Zam water."

Comedy...he sees comedy everywhere.

"When you're not sure if the next check point is being manned by ISIS or NATO." Like him or loathe him like hundreds of thousands of others, you can follow Omar Imran on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
