Man Like Mobeen: BBC comedy defies Muslim stereotypes

Comedy has the power to reflect or to challenge mainstream values. Laughing at difference or "otherness" can reinforce damaging social norms, while shared laughter at a flawed or failed system tends to work more subversively. The new BBC comedy, Man Like Mobeen, is a subversive comedy that implicitly challenges ways in which British Muslims have often been badly represented through lazy caricature and stereotyping - as in the terrorist, the submissive hijabi, or the interfering Auntie.
