The reviews are mixed, but still I would like to see the film if it ever comes to Denmark.

I am TOTALLY watching that movie!

Will have to recommend to my mom and cousin for the Jewish humor.

Well, since Shazia Mirza was mentionned in the Guardian review, I looked her up.

Here is a video with her - she is quite funny, but perhaps you Brits know her well already ?

Heat gave it 4 Stars

Jewish Telegraph gave it 5
Jewish Chronicle gave it none
and the Iranian Observer gave it 4 fatwahs

yep a must see movie

According to the polls only 1.6 % of Americans are athiests. So what gives you the right to call the other 80% morons?'

That's a shame - will still try and see it though.

There is great material here if only someone could get it right - something on "Life of Brian" proportions is just begging to be made.

That's similar to what I heard from a friend who went to see it.

Hassan, an Islamic Life of Brian would be great, but it would involve the mocking and depiction of Mo and other sacred figures of Islam, which would set the throat cutters in motion. Something like The Infidel just seems to be messing around with stereotypes and foibles of religious practise, which is good in its own right, but Life of Brian is so powerfully subversive because it gets right to the root of Christianity and explodes it with satire and one of the funniest movies ever.

The Life of Mo is ripe for that kind of piss take, but there's no actors or directors woho could ever risk it.

I'm gonna go see it an a couple of hours. Being a former Muslim of Jewish background I'll get the Muslim AND the Jewish humor!

Especially if there's a Jewish mother joke thrown in there!

Yeah I know, I agree! But it would be too madly dangerous. Who wouldn't love to take the piss out of Mo in the same way that was done in Life of Brian, but for a start, which actor would agree to play the role?

His agent would be, I've got a great role for you! Six weeks filming in a sunny, sand filled place.

What is it?

The Prophet Mohammad!

I think that humour round Islam needs to arise slowly, get people hardened up first. Hopefully we don't have side by side law (British, Sharia) by then, if was the case I think wouldn't happen, seriously needs to go away soon the Sharia courts in Europe and EVERYWHERE!
