This is a new show airing Sunday November 13 at 10 PM on TLC network. (check your local listings for times) Will you be watching? I will definitely be watching, but one observation I notice so far is it seems to be mostly about Arab Muslim, which I really don't like. I think all nationalities should be represented especially if the community is diverse. I have never been to Dearborn Michigan so I don't know what the majority of Muslims are, but I feel like every time I see a show about Muslims they are either about Indian or Pakistani Muslims or Arabs. I just like seeing a diverse mix so you can see what is really culture and what is Islam. One thing I know for certain will happen in this show, is there will be criticism about how the people practice Islam especially the women. Well if you decide to watch leave a comment and let me know what you think.
i totally agree! i haven't seen the show yet, but i wanna insha Allah see it eventually. i don't like how all the time the media always pictures muslims as only 2 races when its a world religion. i wish they would make a show that has some black, white, east asian, etc muslims, because that would also make it better for dawah. i used to live by dearborn and A LOT of the population is arab mainly from lebanon but the muslim community is pretty diverse. I think their idea of diversity is one arab woman with hijab and one without lol!
ReplyDeleteLOL Anon. yeah diverse is one in hijab...I would like to see converts too!! But I am eager to see how each family pans out, and maybe by the end of the series TLC will look at casting other families.
