A handful of young men set out to take on the decadent West but are more of a threat to themselves than anyone else in this black comedy from the creator of Brass Eye Chris Morris Omar (Riz Ahmed) is a devout Muslim living in the United Kingdom who has decided to form a terrorist cell to bring forth a jihad against a culture he believes is dominated by the sinful & ignorant However Omar isn&t much of leader & he&s assembled an unimpressive team of fellow terrorists among them Waj (Kayvan Novak) who lacks the brainpower to come up with ideas or direction on his own; Faisal (Adeel Akhtar) who is shy & doesn&t have much to say; & Barry (Nigel Lindsay) a recent convert to Islam who tries to make up for his lack of practical knowledge with fierce passion As Omar & his comrades debate both doctrine & methods they ponder such notions as using birds as explosive devices creating video communiques with a hip-hop flavor & attacking mosques in an effort to provoke non-violent Muslims But are Omar & his partners a legitimate threat to the safety of Great Britain or just four half-bright twenty-somethings with more bluster than imagination?
