I’d bet that TLC’s All-American Muslim is a pretty dull show that borders on hagiography. But I still don’t get why anyone would get so mad about it. As I understand it, the show depicts Muslim families as more moderate, more American than some stereotypes. Is that really so horrible? I know that there’s a lot of investment in the idea that there’s no such thing as moderate Muslims. My own view is that’s not true. A better and more accurate criticism — by my lights — is that moderate Muslims are too quiet, too reluctant to become a force for reform within the larger Muslim community. If that’s the case, then shouldn’t we be relatively happy that there’s a show pointing to a better model for Muslims than extremism? Isn’t it a good thing that there’s a show celebrating the fact that you can love America and be a Muslim?

(Snip)

Anyway, I guess I’ll have to watch it now. I’ll let you know if I change my mind.

By the way, the boycott organizers should keep in mind they’ve done the show an enormous favor because I think a lot of people will now watch it because — just like me — they now need to know what the fuss is about.

Of course the show is dull and benign. That's the intended goal. Be dull and benign to achieve full assimilation into every fiber of the American fabric.

 

Did anyone notice Mohamed Atta and his 18 cohorts BEFORE 9-11? No, they quietly and invisibly assimilated into our society.

 

I still applaud Lowe's for its decision to pull advertising from the Muslim-American shows.

Have you ever considered the possibility that their lives are just as dull as our?

As my mother would say...What does that have to do with the price of tea in China.

I agree with RandyM, that the show has an intended goal.....though, not of assimilation into American society. It is media jihad, and carefully selected to hit American's hardest.....in between their glazed & entranced eyeballs, during the evening crap'n'pap TV soaking. From TheReligionofPeace.com-Guide to Understanding Islam

 

From Islamic Law:

 

Reliance of the Traveler (p. 746 - 8.2) - "Speaking is a means to achieve objectives. If a praiseworthy aim is attainable through both telling the truth and lying, it is unlawful to accomplish through lying because there is no need for it. When it is possible to achieve such an aim by lying but not by telling the truth, it is permissible to lie if attaining the goal is permissible (N:i.e. when the purpose of lying is to circumvent someone who is preventing one from doing something permissible), and obligatory to lie if the goal is obligatory... it is religiously precautionary in all cases to employ words that give a misleading impression..."

 

"One should compare the bad consequences entailed by lying to those entailed by telling the truth, and if the consequences of telling the truth are more damaging, one is entitled to lie."

 

Mohammed Atta & his fellow Saudi-Wahabbi-Jihadi killers, were busy visibly assimilating alcohol & watching strippers....in other words hiding in plain sight "wallowing in American male culture" while preparing to carry out their mission. No lyin' there.........we all know how Muslims like to suck up their likkers....while respectin' wimmen in their nikkers.......
