The Hummus is being hailed by some Muslims on social media as "The Onion for Muslims."

In an email to BuzzFeed, the founders described the website as "satire for Muslims who agree that the world is a complicated but manageable place."

The Hummus was inspired by a blog of the same name created by one of the founders last July.

The three friends decided the blog "could be an outlet for expressing the frustrations that we had as Muslims in America experiencing Islamophobia, the conflation of culture with religion (both here and oversees), and the funny results that we can all relate to."
