Kickstarter has become an essential source of funding for a number of very important projects, and one we stumbled upon was the documentary The Muslims Are Coming!, directed by stand-up comedians Negin Farsad and Dean Obeidallah. An extremely funny trailer is now available for the film that follows their standup tour across middle America and comically tackles America’s Islamophobia, featuring interviews with Jon Stewart, Aasif Mandvi, Rachel Maddow, Janeane Garofalo, Soledad O’Brien, David Cross, Colin Quinn, and Lewis Black. The directors are using Kickstarter to get the funding necessary to complete their film, and this is certainly a project that deserves help! Support the film by pledging funds on Kickstarter and check out the full trailer below!
Watch the full trailer for Negin Farsad & Dean Obeidallah’s The Muslims Are Coming!:
A group of Muslim-American standup comedians go on the road counter Islamophobia using the only weapon they have: jokes. The Muslims Are Coming! follows these comics as they visit big cities, rural villages, and everything in between to do shows, meet locals, and counter the haters. Commentary from pop culture icons like the Jon Stewart, Rachel Maddow, Janeane Garofalo, Soledad O’Brien, David Cross, and Lewis Black pepper the film as the comedians travel through middle America. Will audiences laugh? Will they make a difference? Will they make it back? Rest assured, you’ve never laughed this hard at a Muslim!

Hey how come more people aren’t commenting about this. Looks hilarious. I sent the link to Loews incase they want to boycott this movie like they did American Muslim. Cant wait to see this.
America’s Islamaphobia? Really? We’re the world’s most open society. We invented religious freedom.
