UK - Religious comedy: The last taboo

Talk about having your head in the sand. Jack Malvern, the London Times arts reporter, has this to say about comedians making fun of Jews at the Edinburgh festival.

JOKES about Jews and the Holocaust have become increasingly common at the Edinburgh Fringe as comedians tackle one of the last taboos.


Really Jack? There were plenty of people dressed up like Jesus but did you see anyone dressed as Muhammad? There were plenty of jokes about Jews but did you hear any about Muslims? Now why's that?

"Last taboo" Jack? I don't think so.
