Now I want to see him do an insulting skit about Islam and then take a walk down the street in some parts of London like Waltham Forest or Newham.

#5 Sometimes it looks like you click plus or minus and nothing happens on the count. But it does. I can see how you rated the comments before yours and it counted. If you refresh the site you see it too. Its just a little problem with displaying sometimes, but everything works fine :)

#1 That wouldn't be a good idea for a couple of reasons (and not the reason you think)
1. Most of the audience is unlikely to be familiar with the Koran and therefore will have difficult to relating to it. It's akin to describing a funny scene from a TV show with a friend who hasn't seen it.
2. Lampooning something from the outside often comes across as offensive. It's a lot funnier (even endearing) if it comes from someone who has experienced it themselves. Think about black jokes made by black people and black jokes made by white people.

Sorry this comment isn't funny but i just don't like illogical criticism (if that what it was).

Please read the category: Parodies. Please read FAQ about commenting on religion politics etc. Rowan Atkinson is one of the greatest. People desiring serious talk about things, please get a different forum.

#10 The most important reason it "wouldn't be a good idea " is because he would probably come to great harm when the Muslims in those areas heard about his "comedy". Christians and most other religeous types can laugh off jokes,but joking Islam is not tolerated by Muslims. Many of them think that gives them the right to attack the person who offended. The areas that I indicated are considered under Sharia law by the Muslims there. Negative votes won't change the truth.

we do believe in freedom as long as you dont cross the line. you might define t differently. are you free to have sex on public? some might say yes some might not! would you stop them from doing it specially if you have kids around? would you take to them? if they dont stop would force them to stop it?

believe it or not Islam is the most peaceful religion if you apply it in full and not sections.

and #1 it is even insulting to Muslims to insult the bible or Jesus or God

if you want Muslims to be open minded, give them a chance and learn about them and be open minded and take the half truth.

#14 What freedom are you referring to? The freedom to have Imans offer bounties to kill Danish cartoonists or order "true believers" to kill all Muslims who convert to Christ?
If you were one of the Islamic fanatics you probably would not be posting on snotr,and Americans do not think all Muslims are terrorists , but from the time I spent in Saudi Arabia I know what it is like to be Christian in a Muslim country,and it ain't pleasant. The US is a land of governmental laws; religeous laws can not replace them.

For Christ/Allah/Mohammed/Al Bundys sake..could you guys stop arguing about "freedom" (Wich we dont have) and "Religion" (Wich is everybodys own choice to believe)..and just have a short laugh and move on? Why you guys get so serious about a R. Atkinson sketch from 2008? ..woo..some islamic people take their religion very serious..do you guys have to start to do the same now? I dont mean to offend anybody..but this is a comedy sketch and the comments start to become youtube alike.

Oh dear! I thought my first approved video to be a nice parody of a christian gospel by a great comedian. And now it turned into a narrow-minded "discussion" on religions, freedom and stereotypes galore. :'(

#15 yeah right, tell that to black people in USA,(at least before Obama's era)
and when I stated something about peace it was about Islam, not Muslims there is a huge difference. Muslims are just people who have the killers rapists thieves among them.

and what about the Muslim lady who got slapped on the face because she was wearing Neqab in Europe? was this the religion of Christians? or European laws? or it was just a lady who slapped another one? people suck dont blame religion, as it might have ruined millions of lives it did help hundreds of millions

#16 again why do you mention Islam, its just another religion leave us alone thats it! if your neighbor doesnt like its if you greet him then just leave him alone. I bet he wouldn't like you punching him or laughing at him every day. the amazing thing would be if you did that and yet amazed if his feedback was not amusing?
