Line 24:
* [[Ear Worm]]: I wanna handjoooob, whoa-oh.
* [[Ho Yay]]: Jehangir and ... everyone.
* [[Humans Are White]]: Averted, which is good if you've been recommending the movie to people who want to know what those scary Muslims are
* [[The Faceless]]: Rabeya, who wears a full burqa. (Also in the book [[Ambiguously Brown]], there's some discussion in the book about whether she's black or Iraqi or what). Stoner Fasiq is incessantly fascinated with why she does so, especially since she's a feminist.
* [[Fan Service]]: Amazing Ayyub is just too [[Crazy Awesome]] for clothes.
* [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]]: In ''[[Oddly-Named Sequel 2: Electric Boogaloo|Osama Van Halen]]'', {{spoiler|[[Action Girl|Rabeya]] beheads the [[Author Avatar]] in the parking lot of Bridges TV, the first American Muslim TV network to broadcast entirely in English. (It's a very meta book.)}} Unfortunately, the building recently became the scene of a murder by the CEO (Muzzammil Hassan) who went [[Ax Crazy]] and beheaded his wife. The author added a note explaining that the tragedy hadn't happened yet when he wrote it, the similarity was completely unintentional and that he wrote {{spoiler|his own beheading}} as a symbolic, feminist act.
* [[Pragmatic Adaptation]]: The movie cuts down on a lot of the philosophical discussion of Islam that would either kinda be boring considering the pace of the film, or would just confuse a wider audience - for instance, Rabeya gives a khutbah about the Virgin Mary being a Prophet instead of a story about the intelligent and strong-willed Aisha (RAA).
** Averted in that the characters talk just like real life Muslims do, throwing out an inshAllah or such and such here and there without any explanation. (inshAllah: if God wills it, typically said whenever there's an intention to do something, such as "I'm gonna go take a leak, inshAllah.")
