    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!

    Citizen Khan is so awful it angers me so i felt i had to write something; Its so insulting. Even as an Englishman i can understand how people from Muslim countries - who take morality seriously - would be intensely offended by this Bile.From story lines where the slutty teenage daughter dresses up like a prostitute to go clubbing and has to hide it from her parents, to bulk buying lightbulbs to make an irrelevant saving.. Its all just attacking their religion and way of life, and creating division within the families who follow this religion in the UK.It is shameful, truly shameful.I have no idea why such a respected establishment as the BBC appears to be trying to belittle the Muslim faith. But it certainly seems the case.. They knew the show wouldn't be a success which is why they needed a laugh track, so i struggle to think of any other reason they would continue to produce such tosh other than in an attempt to provoke anger in the Middle East, in timing with all the other media attacks recently.It is truly a mind-boggling situation.As an Englishman i am embarrassed by it, and i can only apologise as a member of the public for not doing my part to make it clear to the BBC that this is not acceptable.

    I think Adil Ray has something - you have to like him. Whether this is the vehicle for his talents is another question. It has an incredibly dated feel and seems like a leftover from the 1970's. Chris Marshall is very out of place in this, mind you he was in the dreadful My Family so even this must be a step up for him. How anyone can get themselves in a lather about a poorly conceived sitcom as many Muslims have is beyond me. It really is not worth it. Maybe the whole thing is going to get better when it has settled in but I doubt it. There are several things it has going for it - Adil Ray for one and the premise is good even if the execution needs work. Watch this space.
