I don't know where you guys come
Up with these ideas, again reminds me of the Seinfeld conversion episode, but a Curb twist could definitely be hilarious.

"Seinfeld conversion episode, but a Curb twist could definitely be hilarious."

This was already done, when Larry thought he's Christian instead of Jewish. It was pretty funny. I don't see how it could ever work with the islamist angle, though, as they're not a comparable religion, like Jewishness, Christianity or Latvian Orthodoxianism (?) are. Islamism is a cult with VERY different values, so it would definitely be a different, dark episode.

Larry and all his friends except Leon and Ted Danson are completely identified as Jews. The most that could happen would be Larry dating a Muslim, such as the beautiful Palestinian woman. But times have changed since the show last aired and even that might be too sensitive a topic.

Larry already kind of did this idea - only it was becoming a Christian. It was during the period of the show where he thought he was adopted and his real biological parents were Christian.

Yeah, between "The End" and "Palestinian Chicken", this is all ground well trodden.
