The setup of this episode is so inept, the plot became irrelevant to me. How on earth Tamil separatists from Sri Lanka could be Muslims with the surname Khan is beyond me. This episode seems like an unintentional version of the "Borat" movie; wrong names, looks, accents etc. No wonder the rest of the world thinks that we Americans are stupid! As it is, the average person knows barely anything about the rest of the world and then t.v. shows like this come along and add to the misconceptions. To the intellectually bankrupt writer in Hollywood: I'm sure "they" all look and sound alike, but if you want to incorporate real world situations into a storyline do some background research.
