For those who haven't seen it -- watch the program "Goodness Gracious me" -- it's funny, especially the
Going for an english episode which is mocking the English habit of getting drunk on a Friday and then "going for an India" meaning going for an Indian hot curry :)
It talks about "get me the blandest thing on the menu"

Kowtowing to Islam is a death sentence. They'll play along
until the marching orders come, then it's game over.
So-called Moderate Islam does not exist.

Yep, my Indian friend at work told me that, I was distraught.

One scene that particularly provoked anger was where a heavily-made up girl, Mr Khans daughter, rushed to put on a hijab and pretended to be reading the Koran when her father entered...In the real world, the father would wind up beheading the daughter in an honor killing.

LOL , you lost me for a moment there, the likeness is uncanny now youve pointed it out!

Has there ever been a moment in the history of moozlums when they haven’t been “insulted” by one thing or another?????

I was offended.
But because it was crap. As you say, Goodness Gracious Me WAS funny, and poked fun at both Indian and British culture and people.
To: the scotsman
I saw the first episode on youtube. It was reasonably funny — not GGM level, but funny nonetheless..at least that’s my opinion :) what are the good shows in the UK now?

Depends on the genre. Comedy, drama, docs etc....
Give me the genre, and I will try and recommend some programmes.
To: Cronos
I was harsh, poor imo, average in bits.
There was a recent PC comedy with a disabled kid and an interracial (white-indian) family that made this show look like Bilko, The Simpsons and Frasier rolled into one.
Ironically, in British comedy for the last 10-12 years, there has been an ironic, post-PC movement (Ali G, Ricky Gervais, Little Britain). Dull PC comedies stand out and die quickly.
To: the scotsman
I’d say comedies. “my family” irritates me, but the last Brit comedy that I saw that was good was coupling. Miranda is ok (seen a few episodes on HBO). But none seem to be in the Yes Minister level or even Coupling (first 3 seasons) level.

I grew up with British comedies, Python (of course), Doctor In the House, Dave Allen at Large, Are You Being Served?, Fawlty Towers, Morecambe and Wise, The Two Ronnies, and of course, Benny Hill.

“...in the region of 200 complaints were made to the BBC yesterday after it broadcast the first episode of Citizen Khan.”
So.....how many didn’t complain?
