The BBC sitcom Citizen Khan isn't Islamophobic - it's just idiotic

If you’ve never watched ‘Citizen Khan’, then count yourself lucky. It’s a sitcom in the loosest sense of the word and a prime example of a comedy show which would only ever appear on the BBC: achingly unfunny, contrived and featuring entirely unbelievable characters. Crucially, though, if the show is one thing, it’s politically correct, in that it centres around a family of Muslims living in a deprived part of Birmingham. But Labour’s Rupa Huq has decided otherwise. She has claimed the show is ‘Islamophobic’:

‘I feel if I didn’t know what the year is, you would think it’s an every day tale of a Birmingham family of Muslims but they’re really quite backward…It’s a beardy weirdy chap and they’re not quite cutting off people’s hands but I can imagine that being in a future episode.’
