Danish Sitcom: "The Terror Cell"

This sounds like an awesome idea to me. There's nothing like humor to get uncomfortable and frightening truths out into the open.

From Islam in Europe:

"The Terror Cell" is a new original satirical sitcom entering a whole new
arena in Danish TV-drama.The premise of the show: four very different Muslim men
have created a 'terror cell' in Copenhagen and in their run-down apartment
they're currently preparing a large terrorist attack somewhere in Denmark.

While they're preparing it, they're putting themselves across as completely
regular, moderate and integrated Muslims, which is quite difficult for
them.

The biggest recurring problem, though, is that they're complete imbeciles
when it comes to terrorism. Every episode ends with the terrorists blowing up
themselves and their apartment, after which Allah sends them back to Earth, so
they can prepare better next time.

An absurd, political incorrect comedy, which will be filmed in front of a
live studio audience and will be broadcast on SBS/Kanal 5 in the spring of
2009.

The series was created by comedian Omar Marzouk.

"Though Denmark has been through a crisis with the Muslim world. And there
are people who are sentenced for planning terror, the subject is not treated in
a humorist manner. But there's nothing that builds better bridges than humor.
The aim of the series is to create entertainment that Muslims and non-Muslims
can laugh at - together! That doesn't mean that we can't tackle sensitive
topics, but I will always have heart." says Omar Marzouk.


I guess the joke is Allah sends them back to get it right next time.

If you look at it that way, then this show won't be funny unless it hits real targets.

Which only goes to prove what I believe about this show, which is, it can't be bad for us. It can only be good.
