Holy joke

Serious reaction to a spoof news article tells us plenty about humour
and religion, says Brian Whitaker
Monday January 10, 2005
An intriguing news item was emailed to me last week. The CIA, it said,
is trying to infiltrate Muslim groups, both in the US and abroad, by
training its agents to act as muezzins in mosques.
The muezzin is the man who summons the faithful to prayer,
traditionally by climbing to the top of a minaret five times a day to
issue his call. This places him in a uniquely useful position,
according to a senior US intelligence officer quoted in the report.
