We read:
"Jeremy Clarkson and his Top Gear co-stars have sparked religious outrage after dressing up in burkas on the Boxing Day special. Clarkson and Richard Hammond decided to dress in niqabs, a form of the burka where everything but the eyes are covered, in order to disguise themselves on the road.
They also got James May in on the act when they greeted him from hospital after he fell and hit his head on rocks in the Syrian desert.
But their joke backfired after they were slammed by Muslims for mocking their religion. Islamic extremist Anjem Choudary, said: "The burka is a symbol of our religion and people should not make jokes about it in any way. "It would have been equally bad even if they'd not been in a country mainly populated by Muslims."
The BBC said it had not yet assessed viewer reaction and a spokesman for the show would not comment.
This is not the first time Clarkson has caused a storm over a burka. In July he told Top Gear viewers that he had seen a Muslim woman wearing saucy underwear beneath her gown.

Once again, a demand for tolerance from members of this radical cult who have no tolerance for anyone or anything they dislike. Some day, the world will realize that the only solution to radical Islam is total and complete eradication. Or, you can wait a while until they do the same to you.
Well done to the top gear team. We Christians are expected to tip-toe around all the possible sensitivities of the Muslims, when in all probability the guys would have been stopped from filming or taken hostage, perhaps even beheaded if they had attempted it without the protection the Burka offered.
Monty Python poked fun at Christianity in "The Life Of Brian" and most people were able to have a laugh at the obvious satire demonstrated. Sadly the only religion and culture that can take a joke at their own expense are Christian majority western counties.
I sometimes wonder what form humour takes in non western countries.

Dear anon, 7:18 PM,
Well the Muslims seem to revel in beheadings, amputations and suicide bombings.
I guess that's what makes them laugh. One man's poison.....!
Their main source of humor is the US. In fact, the US has the whole world laughing. At it.
The only reason Muslims are so sensitive (or pretend to be) is because they realize what a profound effect it has on the US, a nation mired in political correctness.
Yet if we turn the tables and state how we non-Muslims abhor beheadings, while Muslims laugh, we are considered intolerant and insensitive. Typical Islamic and Leftist rhetoric.
