I think in the world of the movie, a thing like that would be suicide, yes. In the real world there are "free speech" fictions that need to be kept up, so likely he'd be fired. It's possible the film was trying to meet halfway the real world and the fascism of the film uiniverse, so the bit about the Koran was addded as a ficticious incentive for calling him a traitor and killing him. That is, we want to kill him for that show, so let's look into him for an excuse. Of course having it be the Koran at all was an effort to update the story to the politics of today.

Yes, that's true, but that skit there was an inspired bit.
The Benny Hill music... instant classic.

Ugh. I'm very sick of Benny Hill music. It is so obnoxiously cliché. I can't imagine how bad it is in the UK.

Well, the British practically worship Benny Hill, so don't go around saying that in public...
