I read that this series will be aired in other countries..... including Turkey, I think Syria, Pakistan... sorry don´t have the original article anymore. Do you think this represents the Muslims in Canada well? Do you think it will be entertaining for people in these countries? (In case you haven´t seen it, here´s a link showing part of the 1st show. http://youtube.com/watch?v=_I4YrgGHCXE) sorry - this you-tube link doesn´t seem to work, anyway, I guess you can always do a search if you need to....easy to find....

Best Answer:

I have only seen the first 3 episodes. As a Muslim who lived in the US, I think it is a great show that portraits the Muslim community there. However, the actions of the actors/actresses DO NOT represent Islam. For example, you see Muslim women touching other men. This is Islamically wrong, but it happens a lot in Muslim communities. In conclusion, Great Muslim community Drama show as long as you know that not everything in the show is Islamically correrct/wrong.

Somebody's gonna get a fatwah. LOL .

I love that show! One of my online buddies posts episodes every week and I really enjoy it. From a non-Muslim point of view, I think it would be great if that show was aired everywhere. It would bring Muslims closer to the rest of the world and bring some understanding.

Yeah... and we can also release: "I Dream of Jesus" or "Muhammad's Island"....

what an idiotic notion, laura ingles wilder would be rolling in her grave.
