“...depicting a negative stereotype of the Muslim community.”???

They do that on their own.

If during WWII German-American pressure groups tried to have one of those Three Stooges shorts where Moe plays Hitler banned as “insensitive” how would people have reacted?

The video “Arms Arriving” from post #24 is also hilarious. Of course, I’m easily amused right now.

These remind me of the Volkswagen Terrorist Commercial from a few years ago.

Well when they released this infomercial there was some shock about it, but they didn’t give in luckily.

this looks like it was done by dutch stationed in afghanistan? Military one-off stuff depicting the enemy doing stupid things is quite normal (and good, why not make the enemy a comedy routine?) LAAF is a hilarious acronym.

The surprising thing is that this was allowed into the mainstream dutch media.
