What happens

Ahmed and Salim is an animated web series created by Or Paz and Tom Trager. The series is a satirical parody on religious fundamentalists, or, as the creators define it: "a sitcom about terrorists." It debuted on January 20, 2009 and has since become an Internet hit with over 2 million views and worldwide fans. There was an attempt to adapt the web series into a TV show. The creators produced a 22-minute pilot episode, which is a longer version of the 7th web episode, for the Israeli cable channel Bip on October 19, 2008. The pilot was rejected.
