2. Get your tickets now! The music! The raw emotion! The tears! The laughter! Includes such hits as The Suicide Bomber Man I Love, Ain't No Democracy Safe Enough, Big Terrorists Don't Cry and Jihads Will Get You To The Marketplace On Time.

3. Would any decent American actually go see this?

4. Mel Brooks has absolutely nothing to do with this production. TMZ is trying to suggest that Jihad is inspired by "Springtime for Hitler," the musical that is put on in Brooks' "The Producers."

5. If we follow 'the producer" theme .. the musical has to be a bomb or the producer is ruined.

6. I hope it bombs & noone goes to see it. Why are we feeding into these vicious people?
I live in NY & will never ever forget 911 & to make a play out of this horrible disaster is definitely in bad taste. FIND THE REAL OSAMA & BLOW HIM TO PIECES!

7. There's nothing like good ol' embarrassment to make someone go away - well most that is. Perhaps this is the psychology behind this show. I think the idea behind "The Producers" was sheer brilliance and so do critcs and others alike. It IS an award winning show afterall. This might be a 'let's wait and see' produciton. It also might be a little too early to make fun of the silly-boy jihadist fundamental islamics. For the public humiliation of the extremes religion will go to alone is worth seeing if the psychology behind it would make it go away.

8. I agree that this show is nothing but in bad taste.

10. I saw Jihad: The Musical's opening night last here in Edinburgh. The musical is in the best taste and people were peeing themselves with laughter. I think you folks posting comments need to see the show before passing judgment so quickly. If the show doesn't go to NY, it's NY's loss. We are the lucky ones for having seen it! The actor in the still is the hysterical Sorab Wadia. Bloody amazing! His performance of "I wanna be like Osama" is on YouTube, which is how I got turned on to seeing this show.

11. Ya... a musical about terrorists is just about "as funny" as a musical about the Nazis... throw in a few gassed Jews, a suicide bomber, and we'll all be "peeing ourselves".

Disgusting.

12. THANKS ERIKA - My sentiments exactly.

I guess anyone who finds this humor is a little off their rocker themselves. Nothing funny at all about 911, I dont care who the actor is or how good a performance he gives.

The idiot from Edinburgh thinks NY will be missing out if it doesn't come here? We're already missing out, all the innocent people who were brutally blown to pieces that day. Did this idiot find that funny too??? STAY IN EDINBURGH MORON, NY WONT BE MISSING OUT ON ANYTHING!

13. I think is a brilliant idea. To ridicule the terrorists. They love for the world to take them seriously, ok, so we don't....... We will show them as they really are, tacky, comic figures, out of touch with reality....

I will be in New York in November, I will love to see the play.-But of course, extra security please...We all know terrorists do not have any sense of humor!

14. To you haters, how can you label 'disgusting' a play you know nothing about? It's in extremely good taste, takes on Osama AND our idiot press & intelligence community. It is not pro-terrorist at all. It is not the story of Osama, but the story of an Osama wannabe. Relax and enjoy it when it comes to NYC.

15. Hey Coco #14 - I hope you get to read this. Thank you for your comments as they are in direct line with mine. I think one of the best things we can do is humiliate any Islamic extremist as well as any Islamic follower who thinks jihad and 'death to America' is an ok ideal. I say bring it to NY - bring it. And before any of you out there think of yapping your mouths off at my comments hear this: I was just 19 when they put up those towers and hated every minute of it. I used to watch them - layer by layer go up and forever change the skyline of the downtown area. My college buds and I used to sit on the Brooklyn side eating White Castle hamburgers and wonder if they'd ever finish and if they'd ever be tall enough. No one was sure what they would be or how they would look - but you can be sure of one thing they were there to stay . And one day I got job in the city and the towers were right behind my building which was on Fulton and Broadway - 195 Broadway to be exact. Those towers that I watched go up - I also watched come down.

I now say bring on the show and pack it full of as many politically incorrect insults as you can. I hope to laugh my ass off if given the opportunity - long and hardy.
