I don't find it racist or offensive at all. And who the hell really cares if it offends the suicide bombers and terrorists who kill and maim indiscriminately in the name of their god? I say let 'em be offended.

I find it a little funny!

When I first watched it, I loved it. I love any kind of terrorist-related humour actually, nice to knock them down a peg or too!
... I have seen it too many times now though, the magic has worn off.

Achmend is funny. I don't know that I'd call him / the routine(s) racist though - maybe just catering to a stereotype? Personally - I prefer Walter!
by Piggle on April 20th, 2009
I think it is hilarious - all the more funny because it is politically incorrect which is highly unusual these days!
I don't think of racism or any attempt to offend any individual if something is genuinely funny. I would only consider a comedian to be racist or offensive if they were singling someone out and then making jokes based on race etc - if it is a generalisation like Jeff Dunham and Accchmed - bring it on ;0)

I think it's a little of everthing, but it's funny.

He's funny and somewhat racist. But sometimes he's boring. I like peanut more. xD

I think the skit is racist, I can't figure out why but I just don't find it funny at all.

meh, not really disturbing enough for me to find it funny! but not complete crap either

I find it funny but not nearly as funny as some of his other characters
by Goofball on May 3rd, 2009
The first time I seen it I rolled in the floor laughing.

Yes. I find it funny, racist or something else.

I think it is funny but I like Walter and peanut better
by WelbyQuentin on April 20th, 2009
I find the character simply unfunny. For me, once the premise of the character is known, the humor is immediately predictable and goes nowhere.
by ChandaDiane - est. 1975 on April 20th, 2009
I liked him the first couple of times I saw the act. He gets less funny the more I see him. He needs fresher material.
Racist, perhaps. I think it is more of an attack on culture, though, not race.
Makes no difference to me.

In and of itself, I suppose that it can be conceived as racist. However, I find him quite funny and knowing Jeff Dunham's entire skit (whom I am a huge fan), he offends everyone the same so I do not think he means any ill will.
by DukeG on April 20th, 2009
He's hilarius. If someone finds that offensive I can only say "lighten Up"
by Disturbed in a Jr COAT is so confused on May 3rd, 2009
I think it's hilarious. People are too up tight about "political correctness".
by Zobia_H on January 16th, 2011
I find it funny, no doubt, but i do find it rude sometimes...not racist. Islam isn't a race its a religion.
I think Jeff should stop with the lame Arabic/flem jokes, his terrorist jokes are funny but not the Arabic ones.
Terrorists are not just Muslims, don't forget the IRA!
Final verdict: funny but crosses the line sometimes.
BTW, I'm a Muslim.
Has someone said something today to annoy you?
