| "There's a new imam in town" at the NYT (Satire) |
| 2006-02-22 |
| by Bruce Fierstein, New York Observer EFL'd, go read it all. It's hilarious. . . . Allow me to introduce myself: I am Ali bin-Zabar, the new public editor of The New York Times. Reporting to no one but the Prophet himself, my goal here is not to defend “All the News That Fits,” but to make sure The Times publishes only “All the News That’s Halal.” In short, there’s a new imam in town. And with no further ado, let us proceed down the path to righteousness. . . . |

| #2 Dear Ali: Wait a minute. What about the fashion coverage? Debbie Dear Ms. T: Allah has peered inside the tents at your Bryant Park and found nothing but decadence, depravity and semi-naked women whose dress contravenes Sharia law. To paraphrase the Prophet: “I’m not loving it.” Thus, this too is banished. Dear Ali: Oh my God. What about the Op-Ed columnists? Debbie Dear Ms. T: Tom Friedman is most amusing when he channels conversations with Arab leaders; we’ve enjoyed Maureen Dowd’s skewering of Rummy, Scooter and Shooter. But try as we might, we can find nowhere in the Koran where it says that women are entitled to “opinions.” Thus, Maureen is banished. Hysterical! I hope this continues - it delivers a coup de grâce in such a subtle manner - humor. This will get through to some of the denser fools. Bruce Feirstein is to be commended! |
