'Little Mosque On Prarie"


Anyone catch the first episode? I thought it was pretty funny and tastefully done.

Yasir's wife is a convert. I guess they are just showing that there all types of Muslimahs!

on 'The Hour' they were reading the letters that they got at the CBC in response to the first episode. They got some hate mail. One guy wrote ' Please take this show off the air, I think its an insult that you are trying to display Muslims as sweet innocent people and not the murderous bunch they are.' ---ouch. well the creator of the show, Zarqa Nawaz was saying that she expected some backlash.

any missed episodes can be catched on peekvid.com

So what is the deal with yasir's wife....is she muslim or not? if not ,then isn't it maybe a bit of a stretch for her daughter to be a hijab wearing muslim.....hmmm i think i'm overanalyzing again

I thought the show was hilarious. Its about time we lighten up and learn to laugh at ourselves. Hopefully this show will show the non-muslims that we aren't some space aliens from Mars bent on world destruction and chaos, but normal people with mostly the same issues and concerns as the rest of them :)

really! the S-word....hmmm i didn't notice. I do think that they should've kept the barrier....Women can be distracting... On the otherhand....maybe if we didn't have a barrier in my mosque i wouldn't still be single.....

The S-word is racy? really? wow

exactly ! it cant be perfect! trying to make muslim practices look funny has its obvious limitations:) ..the second episode they showed( about if there should be a barrier btw sexes@ the mosque) was a bit 'racy' for my Mom. Mainly because they used the 'S-word' ..lol

I thought it was funny too. It was not perfect and will definitely not please all parties completely...but seriously how often do we get to watch a tv show/ sitcom on muslims? As far as I'm concerned this type of show has been long overdue....So lets enjoy it!!!
