Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

At Last, What You’ve All Been Waiting For: The World’s First Hijabi Comedy Series

Oct 5, 2019 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

More social engineering disguised as entertainment programming. My latest in FrontPage:

If you don’t really want it, your moral superiors know you need it, and so you shall have it – at least in Australia (for now): with much fanfare, Australia’s ABC iView is set to premiere what it proudly calls the “World’s First Hijabi Comedy Series,” Halal Gurls.

According to ABC iView, Halal Gurls, which was “Created and Directed by Award-winning Australian filmmaker Vonne Patiag,” intends to celebrate “Muslim women and the cultural diversity in Western Sydney. The show follows workaholic hijabi Mouna, played by Aanisa Vylet, as she navigates a cross-cultural balancing act between her structured career-driven life and the chaotic mess of her personal life.”

Aanisa Vylet explains how much we need this: “How often do we get to see a show about Muslim women where their religion, sexuality, and form of expression are not brought into question? The intelligence, inclusivity, lightness, and the very apparent respect towards the culture and community is what drew me towards the team and the webseries that is HALAL GURLS.”

Patiag agrees, this is just what our Islamophobia-laden world needs now: “It’s definitely time for a groundbreaking series like this to exist. Some of my closest friends are Muslim, and I’ve grown up and worked with Hijabis in the past – they have always been some of the most funniest and fiercest women out there, full of resilience and sass, but unfortunately society likes to paint them a different way. HALAL GURLS is an opportunity to reclaim the representation of modern Muslim women in a humanised and nuanced light, and to spark discussion about diversity on-screen and behind the camera.”

Pushing all the right contemporary buttons, not only does Halal Gurls celebrate diversity; it’s also inclusive. ABC iView assures us that Halal Gurls “was created via inclusive practice,” and really, how could it not have been? One of its producers, Petra Lovrencic, explained: “We wanted to show Muslim women in their best and most authentic light, and we couldn’t have done that without engaging with and listening to the community.” Of course. “We’ve collaborated with the community every step of the way, from writing through to the amazing soundtrack we produced. It all comes out of Western Sydney talent.”

One of the show’s scriptwriters, Sara Mansour, finds the whole thing exciting. “I love that the show is exactly about my lived experience as a veiled Muslim woman living in Sydney. The show draws on shared values and experiences and examines them through the lens of Muslim women in Australia – a group that have been subjected to a lot of scrutiny.”

I am not a veiled Muslim woman living in Sydney, Australia, and I’ve never written a sitcom script, but I’m just as excited as Sara Mansour. I feel a change of career coming on. I could write ten scripts for Halal Gurls right now, and pronto. I could finish them by this afternoon. In show number one, a plucky, attractive hijabi struggles — humorously and good-naturedly — to make her way in a world filled with clueless “Islamophobes,” well-meaning dunces who are ignorant of Islam. A subplot which becomes the main plot of show number two depicts her loving but comically conservative Muslim family pressuring her – humorously and good-naturedly — to get married and live a traditional Muslim life. In the give-and-take about that, there is not, of course, the faintest whiff of a threat if our hijabi doesn’t get married and settle down right away.

In show number three, we see firsthand how our plucky, attractive, humorous and good-natured hijabi heroine is constantly the recipient of rude and/or stupid remarks, to which she responds – humorously and good-naturedly — with sharp wisecracks that put the haters and/or idiots in their place. In show number four, and recurring now and then thereafter, a wise, kindly, avuncular imam offers our heroine sage advice – humorously and good-naturedly.

That’s all great, but what about the real Muslim women who have experienced violence and even been killed for deciding not to wear the hijab? Will they get a show? Somehow that prospect seems a bit remote.

    It will be fun and giggles. A beating when the Muslim barrow owner of the Muslima comes home from the mosque, welfare cheque in hand. Discussions with the uncles, brothers, and cousins, about honour killing the daughter who won’t wear a hijab. Oh, my sides.

    This comedy series is ha-ha-ha-haram* for muslims, at least for the Shia.

    “Allah did not create man so that he could have fun. The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and prayer. An Islamic regime must be serious in every field. There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humor in Islam. There is no fun in Islam. There can be no fun and joy in whatever is serious.” — Ayatollah Khomeini

    But I thought Allah said that women are ha-ha-ha-half-wits, so maybe the show can be ha-ha-ha-hallal.

    *Credits: ha-ha-ha hallal and ha-ha-ha haram from David Wood as The Joker video.

    Islam is no laughing matter. Ahmad ibn Hanbal said:

    “A man may say something to make his companions laugh, and he will fall into Hell as far as the Pleiades because of it.”

    — Ahmad ibn Hanbal.[12][13]

      Oct 5, 2019 at 5:59 pm

      You mention The Pleiades:that’s some distance away at…approx 444 Light Years.

      But of course the koran isn’t great on Astronomy,what with the Moon apparently being split in two{WHEN?}and the Sun{approx 1.39 Million Km in Diameter} setting in a muddy POOL.

      {koran 18:86}

      A POOL.

      That must be some pool…..

      A small child might think that but a child has no real concept of SCALE or the ENORMOUS size of a celestial object as big as the Sun.
      {And the koran says there are people there:in a muddy POOL?I wonder does allah think there is a civilization at the end of the rainbow too?}

      al lah’s koran getting Astronomy wrong:now THAT’S funny.
      {Although the errors in Biology-the human anatomy and physiology of reproduction which allah gets WRONG are funnier}

      Because it is obvious that the author of the koran{“allah”},desperately trying to pass himself of as the Biblical God… had no concept of scale or how big a star really is.

        Yes–Ahmad ibn Hanbal was a revered Muslim jurist, and founder of the Hanbali school of Muslim jurisprudence. He is considered the most traditional of the four founders of the schools of Sunni jurisprudence. He knew his Islam–and there was no room for humor in it.

    “Islamophobes” , well meaning dunces who are ignorant of Islam.

    The term islamophobe was specifically created by the islam think tank The International Institute of Islamic Thought, Abdur Rahan Muhammad, for the PURPOSE OF BEATING DOWN CRITICS. . .designed as a weapon to advance a totalitarian cause by stigmatizing critics and silencing them. This plan was an outgrowth of the Muslim Brotherhood deceptive “General Strategic Goal for North America”.dated 5/22/1991; READ IT.

    I am surprised this show could be shown, especially with snake in the house, CAIR, who knee-jerks everytime some non- muslim looks sideways at a muslim.

    This islamophobe is not ignorant of islam and they can stick the term where the sun doesn’t shine which is everywhere islam exists.

    “Cultural diversity of western Sydney”? How about borderline third world shit hole? That would be more accurate!
    For anyone who has never been there, Iv’e been in places where there would have been several hundred people on the street and I was the only one speaking English.
    Thought I’d gone to a foreign country.
    As for the show? Another forced attempt to portray this group as being “Aussie”. Why? because they vote and the grub politicians want to suck up to the local population by whatever means available. And if that means using taxpayer dollars to do so, then that’s ok, just so long as they keep their high paying, perk filled, do nothing jobs. And to hell with the consequences.

      And will the West miss the underlying reality that Muslim immigration will damage their society? That is, the government laws don’t matter; Sharia laws are the only laws that will obeyed unless there is no way to wiggle out of the consequences of government law.

      The clear message is: There will be little loyalty of Muslims to a Western nation or its laws.

    I cannot image anyone wanting to watch such a show. The lusty moslim male would have to be frustrated at not being able to see the women’s hair, and since women are lower than dirt, the moslim male has no reason to watch.
    The non moslim who has any idea about islam, or has just gotten sick to the gizzard at seeing omar and others wearing the scarf and pretending it makes them pretty, virtuous, modest…they are never modest…etc, is not going to wish to sit and watch and listen to them preen and pretend to be funny.

    When the young moslim madrassa teacher was telling me what I ***had*** to do, he said I shouldn’t watch television or movies and he broke my vcr when I told him I watched old movies when nothing good was on tv. then He tried to break my television…saying it was wicked and I had to stop watching.

    So there will be moslims who do not watch for the same reason he was trying to prevent me. I predict that the show will fail and be replaced before too long.

      Well obviously, James, you as well as I are simply uninformed kuffaars since we are confused about this. Indeed, we are actually bigots who don’t understand how there can be no fun in Islam while there can still be fun in Islam. Rather like not comprehending that Islam respects Christians (the “People of the Book” stuff) while at the same time excoriating them and reducing them to second-class status or worse (including death).

      You see, people like you and I are just not subtle enough, informed enough, etc. to grasp the many nuances of Islam, which appear as contradictions to infidels such as us, but which are all perfectly clear to any Muslim because, per the Koran, Sura 3:110, Mo’s followers are “the best of peoples” and, per Muslimthink, any seeming contradiction in Islamworld is perfectly reconcilable as long as you believe in Allah and know that the Koran is devoid of all error and that Mohammed is the Model Man and the last and greatest of the prophets.

      Just awful being a non-Muslim, I mean not grasping all these Islamic truths. After all, being such as we are means we miss out on a ton of wisdom. Fun too.

    … to make her way in a world filled with clueless “Islamophobes,” well-meaning dunces who are ignorant of Islam.

    It seems to me the main goal of this show is to remind all of us “islamophobes” that muslim women are people too, they have struggles, they laugh, they cry, and bleed like the rest of us. But nobody knows that better than Mr. Spencer, a man who has done a tremendous job of helping muslim women by exposing islam’s human rights abuses. I have nothing against muslim women, it’s their oppression and abuse that makes up much of why I reject islam as bad for humanity. But I have a sneaking suspicion this show is getting promoted in the same old context of, “We gotta teach these dumb islamophobes that we’re people too,” or “this show will help dispel some of those racist myths about islam and muslims.” But the reality is, most of us “islamophobes” are on the side of women who are imprisoned by islam’s misogynist, male dominated mindset. Most people I know that speak against islam are good people, they simply don’t like the terror and oppression and ignorance that islam creates and perpetuates. But in addition to that, many non-muslims are afraid, as they see so much change over night, their freedoms lost and their security diminished. These non-muslims are expected to sit by quietly as millions of muslims pour in and replace their towns and cities with alien and often dangerous enclaves, along with the welfare drainage, the mass raping, prisons bursting, muslim gang violence, rising antisemitism, and the unchecked spread of their ideology that overtly threatens unbelievers with terror and murder which they are actually doing on an epidemic scale–all this due in large part to the irresponsible immigration policies of the left that use islam to gain more power over us. And if we dare voice an opinion against all this we’re blasted as racist-bigots with an irrational fear of brown skinned people.

    So to me this show just presents a false reality: only superficially can muslims be “one of us,” as their ideological beliefs run contrary to our own as strongly as does communism, and the societal changes they’re causing are hurting us far more than helping. The changes they and their demon religion have wrought on our societies does not elicit empathy or a desire for entertainment in my mind, only fear, revulsion, and a growing determination to not let them destroy us and our freedoms. It will be interesting to see how badly the ratings are affected by the next major jihad attack against us “infidels” for their “religion.” That will certainly call for an episode to remind us that peaceful islam has been hijacked and we’re all bigots for not admitting this. We know the drill, we’ve been there a thousand times before.

      But a strange irony, isn’t it, that the only ones actually being pilloried as ‘islamophobic’ are really those who have taken the time to become clued-in and clued-up about this disgusting incitement and who are opposing it and speaking out against it and it’s hideous agenda.

  22. mortimer says

    Oct 5, 2019 at 10:34 pm

    Yes, Robert Spencer is correct. They’re not going to make an episode about a woman who refused to wear the hijab and who was punished by her family. They won’t argue the wearing the Islamic veil is ‘A CHOICE’ as do the fake feminists. As soon as they disuss the issue of the hijab DEATH THREATS will come in and the whole show will be cancelled immediately.

    I agree with many of the comments up above and I find it unforgivable that, despite all the Muslim terrorist attacks, the rape gangs and all the other criminal garbage from Muslims in Australia (the recent huge $4million child care fraud case, with a whole bunch of Muslim women appearing in court last week, being an example – maybe criminal fraud by Muslimas could feature in this comedy), and in all other countries, there are still these pathetic, traitorous lefties who want to make programs which try to portray Muslims as nice, cute, gentle, lovable people, which this piece of comedy crap will no doubt attempt to do. The ABC costs the taxpayers a little over $1 billion a year to spew out an endless stream of left wing propaganda, despite having a charter which demands that it provide balanced coverage of politics. It completely ignores its charter. This “comedy” will, without a doubt, be just another way to continue to push its destructive agenda and will ignore all the evil aspects of barbaric Islam, which is what the Islamophile ABC always does. As The Truth comments, up above, a hell of a lot of us Australians would love to see the destructive ABC shut down. It spends it’s time undermining the best interests of Australia with its propaganda, pushing an extreme climate change agenda and all sorts of other far left wing crap. From what I hear, the BBC in the UK and the CBC in Canada are the same types of destructive outfits..

    This is ludicrous… Who do they expect to laugh at this? There is no comedy, theater, art or music in islam, they are making this to fulfill some kind of liberal fantasy. And it was totally expected.

    Can’t say this is a “first” in Oz. as Ang said, Canada had “Little Mosque on the Prairie running 2007-2012.

    Ah, well. Canadians have similarly been the first with inventing Baseball (played in Corunna, Ont.) and Basketball (Jim Naismith).

    One of the zany characters could have a colonoscopy during Cancer Awareness Month. They could use an Islamoprobe.

    There is no humour in Islam.This show will end up like “Little Mosque on the Prairie.” A failure.Too contrived.

    Yes. Follow Yasmine Mohammed to see the realities of being a Muslim woman. Read her book: “UNVEILED: How Western Liberals Empower Radical Islam”. Maybe we should send a copy to Justin Trudeau?

    Pfft! That’s not the first one! Don’t forget “REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ISIS!” on YouTube:

    Little Mosque on the Prairie {CBC -2007-12] unfunny , after third episode most ‘kufars’
    skipped it…it was “cringeworthy”. Probably the same with this………

    It’s really hard to associate “comedy” with “hijab.” Comedy is associated with pleasant amusement, while flour sacks covering women are associated with second class status and repression.

    There’s really nothing funny about a man beating a woman for showing some skin, or hair. I can find no amusement in the thought of a man finding justification for beating his wife in a book that he is afraid to disobey. There is nothing funny about a woman being killed for being raped. You won’t hear any laughter emanating from me over the sight of a woman walking two paces behind her husband.

    I’m sure some people will find this sitcom knee-slappingly funny. I won’t.

    The CBC in Canada tried this around 12 years ago, It flopped. It was called little mosque on the prairie, no matter how much they advertised and pushed the show!
