There were a lot of quirky religion news stories with serious undertones this week, ranging from a cussing Catholic priest ministering to Mexican gangsters <\/a>to the appointment of a Muslim mayor in a strongly Orthodox Jewish suburb of New York City.<\/a> Iran even banned the mullet, <\/a>among other decadent “un-Islamic” Western men’s hairstyles.<\/p>\n

But, I’ve got to give this one to Jon Stewart, over at The Daily Show<\/em><\/a>, for his 7-minute segment on how Fox News has been covering NASA’s outreach to Muslims and the protests over proposed mosques at New York City’s Ground Zero<\/a>, Wisconsin and other parts of the country. <\/p>\n

An excerpt, from about halfway through the clip:<\/p>\n

Fox News Journalist:<\/strong> There are a number of people asking, why are these mosques being built in my community?<\/p>\n

Jon Stewart:<\/strong> Oh, oh! I think I know the answer to that one… because there are Muslims who live in your community?<\/p>\n
