It's a video from an aussie sketch show called the Ronnie Johns Half Hour. This episode actually was banned and pulled off the air.... However, the producers stood by their view that the sketch wasn't offensive to Muslims and the result was the Mufti of Australia issued a Fatwa (religious ruling) about the sketch. It agreed that they idea behind the sketch was constructive and helped promote understanding between Muslim and non-Muslim australians. View the Fatwa here.

So the tv station gave in and showed the episode on sunday night.

On monday we all chuckled over the video and saw the website was advertising shirts to promote High Five a Muslim day. It even said by just expressing your interest, you could be in the draw to win a shirt. David and I both entered for the hell of it.

Didn't hear anything back from them on Tuesday or today (wednesday) so after much deliberation David finally decided to buy a shirt- everyone agrees its just too funny a shirt NOT to get. As soon as he placed his order, the email saying he won the free shirt came through, so instead they are sending him one of each!

So this coming tuesday, my favourite Muslim and High Five champion of the office will be proudly wearing his "I Slam for Islam" shirt.
The Ronnie Johns people asked if he would send in pics of everyone in the office high five'ing him while wearing the shirt , and they will post it on their website!

Do your part and give a Muslim friend some skin...."Or even someone who just looks like a muslim, 'cause they've been copping it too" :P

High Five a Muslim day.....Where will you be?
