Blasting away at ISIS with wicked satire in batte of wit

Click HERE
For those doing the compre on humour, note some of the stuff here....
Sometimes, the best way to retaliate against very powerful forces is not by weapons, but by using humour i.e. pictures of words.....hence the phrase the pen is mightier than the sword....
So one way to erodes the ISIS's  influence is to rob them of their halo, by using satire or humour...

Excerpt:
"Weapons are not the best solution for Iraq," Mr Basheer said at his studio in the Jordanian capital of Amman.
"We fight IS with satire. Its members are only human. We can fight them by making fun of them," he said, using another name for ISIS.
He said his programme shows ISIS leaders for what they are, rather than religious paragons.
"Their halos drop, and they become simple human beings. That is why it is very dangerous for them.

Another function of humour raised in the article is that laughter can unify the people of the world.....food for thought.....
