This is a spoof. It tasted like a spoof. Rang like a spoof. *

 I did a Google and came up with corroboration.

* All the clerics' remarks were caricatures and insider jokes,
largely Jewish insider Jokes.  The Muslim cleric's title is not a
correct title, but a pun on Osama Bin Laden  and  ends with
reference to  a Jewish insider
joke: "In fact, some of my best friends are Buddhist." And the
Rabbi's name Shmuel! (A reference to Yiddish shlemiel) He lives
in Jerusalem! & says, "
I've been practicing Vipassana meditation every day before minyan
(daily Jewish prayer) since 1993. This an insider Vipassana joke.
Take a look at the number of Jews in prominence at IMS and Spirit
Rock.  I could go on and on, line by line. But maybe you have to
be a JuBu to appreciate the Jewish humor and not get taken in.
