Laughing at Suicide Bombers?

I guess I'm feeling especially weird today (see? I said it to save some of you the trouble) but this crazy idea for a Saturday Night live skit just poped into my head. It involves a Star Trek Epioside, the poliltically correct attitude shown in Star Trek regarding accepting any and all "semi-peaceful aliens" in the galaxy wide civilizations and the "alien" attitude of the Muslim Suicide Bombers.
A skit could go something along the lines of Capt. Kirk and his crew having been politically correct forced to accept a member of a newly discovered alien race from the planet Islam who had one very undesirable trait. Whenever the members of that society of the planet Islam found themselves in a social situation they did not approve of, they would blow themselves (and that situation) up. You could have a scene of Capt. Kirk and some of his officers (including that alien from planet Islam) sitting around a conference table debating some important action they must take. After each member voiced a suggested course of action, everyone would stop and look nervously over at the planet Islam crew member. If that member appears calm, them everyone would relax and continue with the discussion.
Could this be a funny skit or not? BTW, I am not trying to nor do I mean to be making fun of any good and decent people, American troops, etc. who have actually been killed or injured by those damn suicide bombers.

Don't know if you remember SCTV or not, but if you do,.........remember the skit they did with the "exploding" celebrities? They would come out on stage, and then John Candy, or one of the other cast would push a button, and boom,........."He blowed up REAL good" they would say![:D]
It was a very bizarre skit, but I was young, and thought it was hilarious at the time,.........hope you remember that.
That would be a good way for them to be able to become "martyrs"
I volunteer to trip the switch!
I think the skit could end with one of those female officers walking into the room, in her skimpy mini skirt from the classic series, and the alien from planet Islam blows up when he sees her.
