Meet Mahmud Nasir (Omid Djalili, Sex and the City 2), loving husband, doting father and something of a relaxed Muslim. He may not be the most observant, but in his heart he is a true Muslim. After his mothers death, Mahmud finds his birth certificate, which reveals that he was adopted at birth and... hes Jewish, with the real name of Solly Shimshillewitz!

As Mahmud tumbles headlong into a full-scale identity crisis, the only person he can turn to is Lenny (Richard Schiff, The West Wing), a drunken Jewish cabbie. Soon Mahmud is embarking on lessons in Jewishness, starting with how to dance like Topol and the proper way to say oy vey. This revelation couldn t come at a worse time, with Mahmuds son about to marry the stepdaughter of a radical Muslim cleric. Archie Panjabi (The Good Wife) and Matt Lucas (Little Britain) join the cast of this hilarious English farce meets Woody Allen (Ricky Gervais).

DVD Features: Audio Commentary with Director Josh Appiganesi, Omid Djalili, Richard Schiff, and writer David Baddiel; Interviews with the Cast and Director; Viral Trailer; THE INFIDEL Blog; Cast Gag Reel and Talk
