All American Muslim

I just love  TLC and this November I know what I'll be watching; All American Muslim. This show was taped in Dearborn, Michigan, a place I've only been to once. This should be interesting. We have Little Mosque on the Prairie which is fictional and makes converts look like twits, so I hope this reality show put Muslims in a better light.

    I found out about this show yesterday, looks interesting, the only thing is though I'm worried about is only showing one culture of Muslim. Dearborn is home to the largest Arab population in the USA. Anyways it'll be interesting to see and I get that they are just trying to show that just because we are Muslim does not equal terrorist. inshAllah I'll be watching it :)

    I agree, they should have went around the country to meet a variety of Muslims of varying ethnic backgrounds. At least its a start.

    I live in Dearborn and am not Arab and I feel worried about the image it paints about us, too. Because frankly most of the arab population in Dearborn is Muslim by culture only, walking around in "hijab" and such. Really shameful behavior and very obvious lack of knowledge of the basics of the religion. I am afraid it will turn into the Jersey Shore of Islam and that is something I hate being associated with.

    Oh dear I really hope not. I've only been there once but the behaviour of the men wasn't impressive.( The halal meat stores were overpriced but the halal pizza was great but have no memory now of the name of the place.) Hopefully some of the families shown will be good examples.
