The Muslim Comic, who appeared on the revered women\u2019s talk-show, made a series of quips about the terrorist organization, as well as her experiences being a Muslim woman in stand-up-comedy.<\/p>\n
Mirza added her new tour \u2013 The Kardashians Made Me Do It \u2013 is based upon the topic of Jihadi brides and is her most laugh-worthy to date.<\/p>\n
But the comedian drew complaints when she quipped about teenage Muslim girls leaving Britain to join Isis.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cI\u2019m not being frivolous, these ISIS men, as barbaric as they are… hot.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re macho, they\u2019re hairy, they\u2019ve got guns,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
She later added: \u201cI\u2019m more scared of my dad than ISIS,\u201d and claimed her mum wore a burka because she \u201cdoesn\u2019t want to be seen with my dad.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite being in jest, her appearance on the regular morning talk-show provoked a reaction from some viewers.<\/p>\n
\u201cI love your show but glorifying this woman making jokes about ISIS and terrorism is disgusting,\u201d tweeted one furious viewer.<\/p>\n
Another added: \u201cJust had to turn @loosewomen over, couldn\u2019t deal with the awkwardness of the comedian joking about ISIS. Kinda WEIRD.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHow dare that woman compare terrorists to butch and handsome. ISIS are terrorists,\u201d said another.<\/p>\n
However, some viewers found her to be quite funny, with one viewer writing: \u201cHonestly think this woman is amazing. #Loosewomen.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another added: \u201cI thought she was funny too. I could see her being on #TheLastLeg #ShaziaMirza.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
