You probably saw him on VH1, HBO or the many Pride Parades that he rockes with his jokes. Yes, it is Rob Nash (also known to many of us Muslims as simply “Salim”).

When I first interacted with brother Salim, it was through an internet group for queer Sufis. I remember thinking, “This guy is funny.” Everything he said was funny. Talking on the phone with him, even his language is funny. I think it is a gift. A gift only God can give. You either have it or don’t. And he certainly has it. But beyond his jokes lies a man who deeply cares about social change, who thinks for himself and successfully gets his message across with laugh-out-loud funny performances. Critics everywhere love his Holy Cross Sucks!, a madly funny 30-character saga about three youths going through a four year Jesuit high school in Texas all played by him. I interviewed this talented Artist about his work, life and faith.
