I find this disgusting tbh. This is people's lives, it's not a joke. People live in terror under ISIS. It makes me extremely uncomfortable that it's trying to normalise it and turn it into a sketch. I don't understand the point of it at all other than to get attention and headlines.

Oh and of course, the show was made by two white straight guys. Maybe they should watch the videos of what it is like in Syria under ISIS and they wouldn't be laughing.

Watched it last night. It was really funny.
Ye, maybe a bit insensitive, but so is most comedy.
I hate how media picks 3-4 "upset" comments off social media and makes it into a "scandal" these days.

what a ridiculous thing to say

The show might get cancelled for this. I can't believe it made it onto BBC of all channels.
But then again they've had blackface on their so it shouldn't surprise me.

How so exactly?

I also sense racism from some of the people that find it funny. Just because they're muslim, of colour etc. it's okay to laugh at them? If it was a comedy sketch about jews or gay people or disabled people being murdered in the Holocaust people wouldn't find it funny.

omg

lmao racism and muslim

if you can convert to and apostatise from its not a race

This Channel 4 sized mess Would they make a show about Nazis?

I know, I'm not an idiot

But lots of people don't understand that. People are racist against muslims when it's really Islamophobia but I have a problem with the word "Islamophobia" but that's for another discussion and I'm too tired. Also it is still racism because white muslims don't get the same backlash as muslims of colour.

I'm done with this thread now. Byes.

It's hilarious but insensitive tbh

Anyone who is offended by this needs to take the stick out of their ass

First time watching this. Insensitive but I find it very funny. The way they talk

Omg i screamed
