Iraqi TV Comics Make Fun Of Islamic State At Huge Risk
la times

"State of Superstition," a hit comedy on state-run Al Iraqiya TV, turns a deadly serious subject — the reign of terror imposed by the extremist group Islamic State in parts of Iraq and Syria — into fodder for spoof and satire. The show takes enormous risks in the name of satire in a country where Islamic State has tortured and killed Iraqis and set off car bombs that have killed hundreds of people.
