firstly to qq,
when i said nawaz deserves a slap, i was merely stating that she should get
some common sense knocked into her. just for the record, i am against violence
of any sort. i didn

"firstly, when they are doing a prayer, some white dude walks in from behind and
then all of a sudden they all just leave their prayer to run after him?"
incorrect. they didn't run after him -- they continued to pray! all of them
continued to pray except yasser. he ran after the guy, and it's obvious from
the rest of the show why: he hadn't told the priest that he was renting space
for a mosque.
"secondly, this show is supposedly being filmed during the month of ramadan."
invalid assumption. while the first show ends with the beginning of ramadan, we
have no idea how much time has passed between that show and the second one.
after the title, we see the actors/actresses in fatima's diner during daytime hours.
"yet there

\"*knocked* into her,\" eh, mister non-violence? don\'t worry, canadian sitcoms
bring out the reactionary thug in all of us.

haha wow... so thoroughly enjoying this... these posts are better than the
show... flappy..qq.. and mr explosion bin leadin.. i am a muslim livin in a
muslim country and this is what i have to say..
stop it
explosion... stop speakin for billions of muslims on your own.. every muslim
is an individual with personal virtues and opinions. in my country, muslims do
everything that humans do.. including drinking, adultery, sex during ramadan (
dont wry... they only do it after iftari )... prostitution is actually doing
really well here.. we have had an influx of russians and chinese women ( just
a fact, no racism intended )... and guess what ! the cops are actually
happy... cos since arabs ( also muslims ) have been introduced to the concept
of buying sex, they have stopped raping women ! so now the women of my house
are safe ! no offense meant... but muslims are humans after all.. stop tryin
to make us sound like some uptight assholes.
flappy... yup ur right but yes u did sound a lill racist in some of those
lines.. i dont blame u... u believe we bombed ur country.. if ur american that
is.. but tell u what.. explosion wasnt part of that conspiracy.. so take it
easy on muslims. yes we have our criminals.. suicide bombers.. all this and
all that.. but so did ussr.. and a lot of other countries 2..
and yes .. though this shows incorrect in certain places... its reflecting a
handful of people in our guild

first of all the show is funny in some places!
i am not a muslim and i am not religious in any way but it is fun to have a
laugh at ourselves sometimes. it is healthy so to speak.
remember, it is only a tv show! it's meant to be a bit of a laugh and giggle. i
think it shows very well how one person (in this show the radio presenter) can
hugely affect other peoples opinions and distort the facts.
so chill and watch the show and all will be good!
peace out from scotland

thanks cumrandi for bringing it real.
phew, for a minute there i thought the uptight no fun muslim stereotype was true... lol
it's comedy from a muslim writer trying something brave & yet it gets dissed by the very people it is
supposed to appeal to. amazing.
'oh a real muslim wouldn't do that...etc...' er, it's a comedy, not a socio-political realist drama. sheesh!
lucky as a non-believer i can love & appreciate everything without having any moral/cultural/religious
grievances.
shame the show is rather lacklustre though.

everyone!!!!!!!!
relax!
its just a crappy show, jokes were not good, i may have laughed at about 2 or
maybe 3 jokes.
i thought i might find it slightly offensive but the show is only to show a
handfull of different people & how they live. its not to say to narrow minded
people 'us muslims are crazy suicide bombers'
all it it trying to show that muslim folk have lives & each one of them will
have normal problems.
so, if anyone finds it offensive & starts quoting the q'uran then please dont
start that here, we are all downloading & stealing tv shows that we should
really pay for.
i have seen the 1st 2 episodes & i aint gonna waste my time getting anymore. the
rip is good quality but really bad show.
i hope they dont make anymore cause some crazy idiot might try to kill this
'nawaz' person
so ppl, take it easy... & please try to enjoy things especially when you dont
pay for it!!!

laughing at ones religion seems to be the norm these days, yet it's very good
mentally it helps you to view a belief in total ignorance, evan making fun of
your own show the depth in which you see yourselfs. islam means the will of
allah, while the word muslim means one who does the will of allah. if such
were the way we think than why than make a pretense in what you think and
believe why not do away with your faith. after all did not the people evan
make fun and mock jesus while on the cross. iam not offend at all because iam
firm in what i believe in, so say and do what you will watching these shows
are a matter of chioce if you like thn watch if not don't choices are what we
are made of peace.
