Comedian Jackie Mason has made a cameo appearance in federal court.
The veteran entertainer accepted an apology from the missionary group Jews for Jesus in return for dropping a lawsuit in which he claimed the group damaged him by using his name and likeness in a pamphlet.
Outside the Manhattan court, Mason, who has starred on Broadway and in films including Caddyshack, did a little spontaneous stand-up with reporters, but there was a serious tone to his wit.
“There’s no such thing as a Jew for Jesus. It’s like saying a black man is for the KKK,” he said. “You can’t be a table and a chair. You’re either a Jew or a gentile.“

Jackie Mason- who only happens to be one of my favorite comedians- isn’t the only one to doubt the manifesto of the Jews for Jesus group. I had previously discussed them in an article entitled: False temples and Jesus mosques.

“Islam: religion of oppression, discrimination, violence, terror, war, superstition, intolerance and prejudice… To Islam the war, which they lost centuries ago, continues… Muslims, married to a failed past, offer little hope for integration into modern society.” – Jackie Mason
He’s really funny, alright!
He is funny, just not in politics or religion. Then he is emotional and wrong-headed, but so are most entertainers and actors.
