Jokes on jihad
The Ausralian ^ | August 21, 2010 | Evan Williams

Posted on 08/21/2010 9:15:06 AM PDT by Mojave

FOUR Lions, a British film directed by Chris Morris, is a satire on Islamic jihadism and its murderous ambitions.

The film is tasteless and offensive. It will be especially offensive to jihadists. It is also very funny...

Omar (Riz Ahmed), their unofficial leader, spends time in a terrorist training camp in Pakistan. His boys have a lot to learn. They order their supplies of silver nitrate through Amazon and think that swallowing their SIM cards will make their mobile phones untraceable. Their idea of a joke is to bake a "twin towers cake" and leave it in a synagogue.

Faisal (Adeel Akhtar), the leading crackpot in the bunch, is training crows to be suicide bombers. He buys dozens of bottles of peroxide bleach, all from the same shop, to make explosives. Barry is convinced the purchases will be traced. "It's all right," says Faisal, "I kept changing my voice."

Waj (Kayvan Novak) seems to be the only one with a vaguely troubled conscience. He and Faisal have a scheme for evading CCTV detection by shaking their heads vigorously from side to side to make their faces look blurry on camera.

Those Limeys might as well be speaking Greek. I can’t understand half of what they’re saying.

I predict that the sun will rise in the east. Of course, your prediction has a better chance of coming true.

Would love to see it. But the British better be doing more than making movies. They should’ve rooted these murderous pseudo-religionists out of their country long ago.
