Uh oh:

"Burqa woman, with your sexy feet", croons the male singer, to the unforgettable tune of Roy Orbison's "Pretty Woman". The video parody is a YouTube hit, but has earned the comedian some hate mail from angry Islamists.

The song's cheeky lyrics tell the story of Pakistani comedian Saad Haroon's chaste romance with a burqa-clad woman, describing his hilarious efforts at wooing his "sexy ninja". "Burqa woman, my love for you grows, every time I see your toes", he sings, adding that he will "practice flirting with his living-room curtain".

The clip has divided its YouTube audience since it was uploaded on December 9. Some viewers criticised Haroon for giving the West a chance to laugh at Islam, while more radical comments called on the comedian to be "stoned to death"...

I agree with the stoning, if only because he has butchered a perfectly good song.

This reminds me of those awful racist comedians in the 80's Bernard Manning, Jim Davidson etc.

They used to tell 'harmless' cheeky jokes like the losers above. The thing is though that are all blatantly racist. They are also not funny to watch just embarrassing.

A comedian who's not funny? Well at least there' a place for Janeane Garofalo (who's now a Scientologist, BTW)
