No Sense of Humor, none at'all...
Have you ever had to spend any time around someone who took themselves (and everything else) too seriously? So seriously that everything was about them, a walking talking, chip on the shoulder, just waiting for an excuse to be insulted, prima donna?Usually, you only see this for a brief (in retrospect) period during adolescence. I've always felt on of the hallmarks of both maturity and the wisdom that comes with it, is the willingnes to laugh at your self and your own foibles. Part and parcel to this is the realization, is the ability and willingness to admit your own fallibility and mistakes, in fact to admit them first and not try to hide them.
One of the stand out features of Islam, is its absolute unwillingness to admit any fallibility, and conversely, a complete lack of any sense of humor about anything. As a result everything is about them, and EVERYTHING is insulting. Hat tip again to Atlas Shrugs, on this reward being offered from a group in Pakistan for the death of a cartoonist who dared to draw something about Islam that wasn't fawning and worshipful.
