A sub-genre of Science Fiction that deserve more attention is Comedy Science Fiction or Science Fiction with more humor. I recently came across this now defunct Muslim humor website Abu Pokemon which narrates stories with Lego and found one with can be described as Science Fiction. It is an absurdist humor take on an absurd fatwa that came out of Egypt a few years ago and was widely condemned by most Muslim scholars in the region. The following link has the visual story in full form. Enjoy!

Islam and Science Fiction is a website on all things related to Islam, Muslims and Science Fiction and everything in between.The exploration of Islam and Science Fiction is from a cultural and social perspective, from a cultural and civilizational sense. A more appropriate term would be Marshall Hodgson's Islamicate. Thus this site is a compendium of novels, short stories, novellas, movies etc which either has Islamic themes or have Muslim characters. You can contact the editor at maahmad@uw.edu
