SIDON, Lebanon: A number of Palestinian Islamists burned a wooden cross overnight Friday in the refugee camp of Ain al-Hilweh in protest of a television show they claim insulted Islam.
A group of men burned the cross and stepped on it in the Palestinian refugee camp, located on the outskirts of the coastal city of Sidon.
The protesters said they were angered by Friday night’s episode of a comedy show called “Bas Mat Watan” (When the Country is Dead), saying one of the sketches insulted Islam and the prophet.
It was not clear which part of the weekly program the Islamists were protesting, but one sketch showed a man, with a long black beard, stepping into a shop to buy a bra to cover his cow’s udders.
Surprised by the Islamist-looking man’s request, the shop owner handed the customer a plastic bag and placed it on his head, arguing that the bag would prevent him from seeing the cow altogether.
“Perfect my brother, this saved me from the devil, debauchery and immorality,” the man replied.
In another sketch, what appeared to be ISIS head Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi came to the women his fighters had captured. The men recounted that they brought him Yazidi and Alwaite Iraqi women as well as a Lebanese woman found in Syria.
Baghdadi, addressed as the caliph in the sketch, rejoiced that they had found him a Lebanese woman but then ran away after he found out that it was a character of homely character from the show, who is always in search of a husband.
