Why do people try to ban a film they haven't seen?
Four Lions film boycott urged by 7/7 families
Four Lions follows four men plotting to kill thousands at the London Marathon
Families who lost relatives in the 2005 London bomb attacks are appealing to cinemas not to show a British comedy about four aspiring suicide bombers.
Four Lions was created by satirist Chris Morris, who was also behind the controversial Channel 4 show Brass Eye.
It is better to laugh at the terrorists rather than be scared of them surely?

I've just been LOL at that trailer.
And yes ... people like that should be ridiculed, because their principals are absurd.
And ... the film will annoy terrorists, which must be good.
Oh, and when people try to get a film banned, the publicity always guarantees box office success.

well I can see why some would be aghast but they are the same lot who spat the dummy out over life of Brian. I agree 100% Gromit, humour deals a heavy blow to terrorists. They see we are not afraid. Reminds me of the cartoon just after 7/7 in one of the papers, Hilter talking to Bed linen, ".... I told you Osama, you get no where bombing London"!

Fair enough, they've been through hell but it seems to be the case you're automatically qualified to guide the nation if you've been through something like this.

I don't know if terrorism is a good subject matter and I can understand why victims of terrorist acts would want the film banned. To depict British-Asian youths who have been radicalised into being suicide bombers as a comedy makes one wonder who is really having the last laugh?
I saw the trailer and it is funny but then laughing at a fundamentalist blowing himself up accidentally is also scary when one thinks that happens but he is not the only intended target. I think I will give this film a miss.
The fact that Jihadists are so brain-washed into committing such pathetic acts is not something that I think I want to be shown in a comical format in a film. If its banned that's ok with me.
