Oh, oh. Some producer’s getting beheaded....

Women have little or no rights in the Middle East.

Women are considered less than second class citizens.

Women in the Middle East are treated like cattle, no better than that.

It is amazing to me that there are women who even follow the Muslim or Islam religion considering how they are treated under those so called religions.

[ReneeLynn]

Hahahahaha. The woman in this thing is very brave.

[I am Richard Brandon]

No! Not going to happen - “one of King Abdullah’s favourite programmes.”

[9YearLurker]

And the men there obviously feel they can justify it, “Because it’s our religion!”

[proud American in Canada]

Wow! I hope whoever made this show stays safe.

Bravo to them—very courageous.

Islamic Comedy... another oxymoron.

One of the most dangerous scenarios in the world would be an armed uprising in Saudi Arabia with the hardline activists taking control of the western part of the pennisula (including Mecca and Medina) and leaving the house of Saud in control of the east and all the oil.

I am sure this will cause some Islamic Terrorists to behead a few women and infidels...maybe even an excuse to build the Islamic Terrorist Hall of Fame near the WTC site

That would be a perfect opportunity to turn mecca and medina into radioactive glass. I fail to see the problem.

—yep—IIRC, the Ayatollah made the statement that “there is no humor in Islam”-—

Last week, an episode also provoked controversy, portraying two men who visit the brother of their dead mother, a foreign-born Arab, only to discover he is a Christian priest.

The shock lies in discovering that despite his religion, they come to respect him for his honesty and generosity.

Yup, those producers have a death wish....or are very well connected.

[longtermmemmory]

gee they exported the feminist PC (girly man, unwatchable) “My Boys”.

[hosepipe]

Shuuush.. the Saudis do not even KEEP women or child abuse records..
BUT they are aware of them in the U.S..

**Note: The Quran advocates abusing women and children.. because in the Quran they are on the level of animals.. Pretty much anything is allowed.. even worse than some sex cults in the U.S... because it is LEGAL THERE... Marriage there is like owning a pet.. but in the U.S. some things are illegal perpetrated on pets....

The central character takes four husbands...

The problem really surfaced when she took a picture of her husbands.

[KarlInOhio]

Dear Mullah,
My wife watched Tash Ma Tash and laughed at the skit with the woman who had four husbands. Then she said that she wanted a Syrian husband too. How may I punish her?

Akmed.

Dear Akmed,
If she had merely watched and laughed at the accursed television, then you would be entitled to cut out her tongue and one eye. But since she said she wanted another husband she has committed adultry in her heart and will have to be stoned too.

Sounds pretty funny, especially the episode about the brother that becomes a Christian priest.

[stuartcr]

Apparently that’s not what King Abdullah believes.

[LibWhacker]

Hilarious! LOL
