Sitcom focuses on challenges faced by North American Muslims

A new sitcom on CBC called Little Mosque on the Prairie depicts a Muslim community in a rural Canadian town. The sitcom blends satire and drama to address internal and external issues routinely faced by Muslim communities in North America. It’s the first Muslim comedy to air on North American mainstream television (and an indication that the Canadian Muslim community is a bit more advanced than its American counterpart).
I’ll reserve comment on the show itself until I see it, but bravo to the writers, producers, and CBC for helping bring about this major milestone.
