A brave musical?

The Edinburgh Festival includes a new musical called "Jihad the Musical". The satire about Islamic terrorism includes such classic tunes as "Building a bomb today, what does the manual say" and "I wanna be like Osama" which you can watch here. The production is billed as a "madcap gallop through the wacky world of international terrorism", It has of course sparked protests, including a petition on the Number 10 website asking the Prime Minister to condemn the musical. Tasteless and sick or brave satire, you decide?
