If you’ve read “Freakonomics,” you may remember the chapter on the KKK. Public dissemination of KKK codes and signals resulted in widespread ridicule and subsequent declineof the KKK.

I haven’t seen humor do much good yet. Oppositon-in-exile in Iran has been trying to ridicule the mullahs to political effect for years with little to show for the effort. But perhaps we could see it regarding terroristic Islam (which tars the mainstream as well).

The attention of Islamists to western p.c. is evident in their adoption of thought crime categories such as “Islamophobia.” No wonder the left can’t resist supporting them. One might counter that the Islamists exhibit “democraciphobia” and a host of other ailments that require diagnosis and subsequent pubic mental health intervention.

On the other hand, Americans are very reluctant to ridicule someone else’s religion. But maybe we’ll get to that point. Hirsan Ali is doing her part.
