Where does the “Dude, you have no Quran!” meme come from?
The meme originated on September 11, 2010, at Sam Houston Park in Amarillo, Texas. Jacob Isom, a 23-year-old skateboarder, intervened during a Quran burning attempt organized by David Grisham of Repent Amarillo. Isom grabbed the book and said: « Dude, you have no Quran ». The KFDA interview was uploaded to YouTube on September 13, 2010, by user o1dh4k. An Auto-Tune remix followed quickly. The contrast between Isom's physical action and his logical punchline created a powerful comedic effect, making the event go viral.
