British-Iranian comedian Omid Djalili is used to playing with cultural stereotypes. Last year he took on Fagin in the musical, Oliver, and in his new film, the comedy The Infidel he stars as a Muslim man who discovers that he is in fact Jewish. So can religion be funny and where exactly do you draw the line?

I love it how he so "muslimly" manhandles the crippled clerk ;-)

And I wonder how long it will be before all the Muslims realize how Jew-ish their whole religion is.

Thank you faryarm for posting this.  Has Omid ever expressed about his experiences as a Baha'i?
