The joke's on us (CBC's 'Little Mosque on the Prairie')

Hopefully, whoever is in charge of the Laura Ingalls Wilder name will sue the cr#p out of these degenerates.

Not as good as "I dream of Jihad."

... but definitely a notch above "Sharia Law and Order".

[DustyMoment]

"Muslims" and "humor" are two things that should never, ever be said together - not only not in the same breath, but also not in the same 12 month period.

[GMMAC]

"Muslims" and "humor" are two things that should never, ever be said together ...

... something which holds true with more than a few of their apologists as well:

[fanfan]

Yes Onyx. It's true.

The CBC is funded by our taxpayers to the tune of $1 Billion a year.
The CBC then produces ^##$%@$U like this, to convince us that Muslims are just like us.

Propaganda, really.

:-(

[Safetgiver]

Muslims ARE just like us. They die, too.

[fanfan]

Why, isn't it supposed to be humorous? I don't think Allah would allow that.

Lying and deception of infidels (taqiyya) is encouraged.

[fanfan]

Muslims ARE just like us. They die, too.

Everything that lives dies.

[Shots]

Bet the program will not bet the CAIR Seal of approval....

[Shots]

Bet= Get Sorry!

[fanfan]

Bet the program will not get the CAIR Seal of approval....

As propaganda it is useful to them.

"Thanks be to Allah, there are no Jews in this sitcom."

When Babs wrote this,I quit reading. Anything from the rest of the article that is interesting...?

[Cindy]

The "comedy" is not on my viewing schedule.

Thanks for the ping, fanfan.

[fanfan]

You're welcome.

[fanfan]

Yes. This.

----------------------------------

Amaar is of Middle Eastern appearance, has spent a year in Afghanistan and several more in Egypt, is travelling alone on a one way ticket, and has been overheard loudly using the words "bomb" and "suicide" on a cellphone (perfectly innocently, of course -- who hasn't used those words in an airport lineup?).

Still, he is shocked, shocked, that he should be taken aside for questioning.

In this surreal sequence -- sorry, not comic for me, but then I would have found Hogan's Heroes kind of a downer if it aired in 1946 -- the witty and confident Amaar displays insouciant contempt for the implied Islamophobia of the dumber-than-dumb cops.

[GMMAC]

If you took the line in question as anti-Semitic, it certainly wouldn't have been intended as such as the article's author is herself an apparently devout Jew.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Thanks for "covering" my point.

Any Jew that can print "Praise Allah" ain't devout (or even orthodox).

[MplsSteve]

LOL! That'd be funny to see an episode that dealt with the issue of a Muslim joining (or wanting to join) the lodge.

[Springman]

I caught part of that show yesterday. I think the kitty had my reaction, w/o the corn cob pipe in my mouth!!!

Can't wait to get back to work on afternoons. Some of the junk on TV just ain't worth it.
