In response to the beheading of an Oklahoma woman by a recent convert to Islam, an MSNBC panel wants to do away with a narrative linking followers of the religion to violence by establishing a new stereotype that “Muslims are hilarious.” The panelists joined MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry on Saturday to discuss an effort to use comedy to counter “anti-Muslim” ads soon to be running on the sides of New York City buses, when the horrific attack in Oklahoma came up. “I would be remiss not to bring up the story out of Oklahoma,” Harris-Perry said. “It is a story I read as a ‘work-place violence’ story.” Because who among us has not witnessed a beheading on the job?
