As a Muslim and a Middle Eastern, I found this series to be absolutely hilarious and hits on common stereotypical behavior of Pakistanis and Muslims in general. I did not find it to be offensive at all. I love all the characters in the show. Basically the only negative thing about this show is that there are only a few episodes per season. They seriously should produce more episodes and I think it will be very popular amongst Muslim and Middle Eastern audiences. I don't see a problem why this show would not be popular amongst non-Muslim audiences. Not only does it introduce the people in a comic and light manner, but it is the first show I have ever seen that humanizes Muslims.

I thought it was terrible, what has happened at the BBC, they are churning out utter rubbish. There isn't a situation comedy on the BBC that is worth watching at the moment. I can't think of one in the recent past that was funny or even original.I watch repeats of 'Only fools' 'Porridge' and other old BBC shows that I find a million times more funny than 'Citizen Khan' and that dreadful Ben Elton thing that I have already forgotten the name of.On BBC2 on Sunday I watched possibly the worst sketch show the BBC have ever made, I won't bother with writing about that on here. I find myself not bothering much with the BBC, it has lost it's way. I won't bother while I can watch repeats of classics and American stuff like 'Curb your enthusiasm'.To be fair, 'Episodes' which was Hatrick on the BBC was great.

Humane, outrageously funny and a true depiction of the real world.I am a Muslim and a Pakistani. I have watched five episodes of the season and have still to find anything offensive against Islam. Yes it is critical of the way Muslims go by in their day to day dealings. But this is the beauty of the season it shows Muslims as humans and ordinary people with challenges that normal people face and how they cope with them. The director and writer of the season have done a brilliant job showing a different dimension of the Muslim life something other than the stereotyped image of Muslims.It is a must watch for anybody who is Muslim, Pakistani or British. If you are all three and have an open mind I bet you will get a stomach ache after watching this.

It's just a comedy! Don't take it so seriously! Chillax!Have really enjoyed watching all 5 episodes till now. It's not perfect and yes, it's very stereotypical, aged, and poorly acted. Yes, the Somalian guy's accent is travelling from West Africa eastwards in each episode. Yes the canned laughter is OTT.But it's a comedy nevertheless and one of very few south Asian comedies to be broadcast. I don't think its depiction of the religion is that bad and actually quite inclusive. The jokes shouldn't be taken personally - I certainly don't feel humiliated or offended because it's just a comedy... and it's so true... :)For those who find it 'unfunny' or 'didn't laugh' well, go watch something else. Sheesh!
