Jackie Mason

Jackie Mason (born Jacob Maza on June 9, 1931, in Sheboygan, Wisconsin) is an ordained rabbi and an American stand-up comedian. He enjoys provoking controversy with his politically incorrect routines and his opinionated observations on Jewish and American life. He gained infamy by allegedly giving Ed Sullivan the finger (he denies this, insisting instead that numerous fingers were flashed and Ed Sullivan assumed he gave him the finger. He later retaliated against Sullivan with a libel suit in the New York State Supreme Court and won. It would be a year and a half before Sullivan would finally let him back on his show).

The truth of the matter is are reflecting the religion and following the religion. They are following the orders of the religion directly from the Quran... in plain English, the whole Muslim religion is preaching and teaching hate, terrorism and murder, and nobody knows it, and its about time they found out about it. The Quran... is 50 versions of hate, venom, hostility, and murder... dedicated to terrorism... I don't know how we can call it a religion in the traditional sense. It should be called a murderous organization that's out to kill people.http://www.nndb.com/people/805/000023736/
