The show sounds terrible.

I'd rather have my eyeballs pulled out with a gear puller than watch this insipid claptrap.

“Since 9/11 what we see on the news nearly every day portrays Muslims in terms of conflict,” said Nawaz...

Ummmm more like since the 1970's when you started hijacking planes, bombing civilians, and causing general mayhem wherever you congregate...a$$hat.

[RobbyS]

Yeah, let's pretend that Muslims are just another denomination.

[KellyAdmirer]

“This assumption in the media that Muslims are going to riot in the streets, freak out and get upset is ridiculous,” she said.

Uh, honey, that assumption is NEVER ridiculous. Any group that riots over cartoons has too many screws loose.

Funniest line in the whole article:

"“This assumption in the media that Muslims are going to riot in the streets, freak out and get upset is ridiculous,” she said. “It’s just a comedy.”

There is absolutely nothing funny about the muslim monsters.

They are about as funny as cancer.

They're finally going to join the 19th century.

Let the fatwas begin!

Who wants to start a pool on the first death threat?

[Tzimisce]

Another "non judgemental" show that demonstrates Muslims are people too (and Westerners are racist, sexist, homophobes.)

While some media have questioned whether the show might insult Islamic fundamentalists — like the Danish cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad — Nawaz believes Muslims deserve more credit. “This assumption in the media that Muslims are going to riot in the streets, freak out and get upset is ridiculous,” she said. “It’s just a comedy.”

And the funniest part is -- that will probably be their (the fundamental muslim's) reaction to the show.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

“This assumption in the media that Muslims are going to riot in the streets, freak out and get upset is ridiculous,” she said.

You're talking about people who riot over Danish cartoons and blow themselves up, literally. Give me a break.

[sheik yerbouty]

There have been little mosques on the prairie for almost two centuries. Small wooden nbuildings with crescents on them. Shi'ite?

[knarf]

Yo .... sheik ..... over here.

[rabscuttle385]

the new makeshift mosque housed in the parish hall of an Anglican church

How prophetic.

I saw the trailer while in Canada.

It is being produced by the BBC equivalent in Canada, called the CBC (also known as the "Corpse"); as a result it will be very un-funny.
