there is a new show called the little mosque on the prarie that will debt tonight on the cbc.. its about a laywer from Toronto that moves to a small town in saskatchewan.. to open up a mosque and it goes a long the line of what life is like for muslims in a small town and all the craziness/stereotypes that goes a long with it..
do you think you'll watch it? do you think it might help us understand muslims better? and not type cast them all as the same?
do you think this type of show would fly if it was small town amercia instead?

It doesn't have a hope. It's intent is to erode stereotypes of Muslims. Instead, it reinforces stereotypes of Western Canadians. I am insulted on many levels.

1. I'm hoping it's a joke
2. I've been to many places in Saskatchewan, and the people there are so kind hearted and nice it's (1) weird, and (2) going to take a lot of editing to make it the controversial show they're looking for
3. no. i won't be watching

I watched and was very disappointed -- even though I know one of the producers (a fine guy!) and was really rootin' for it.
It's simply not funny.
