At Last!

Somebody decided to stop compailing about how the media always potrays us in a negative light (terrorists and fanatics) and decided to do something positive and constructive at last.

I am talking about Zarqa Nawaz, the woman behind the new sitcom LITTLE MOSQUE ON THE PRAIRIE. A sitcom about a small muslim comunity in a small town somewhere in Canada.

Since we don't own a TV; I went to see the second episode at my parents house last night to see for my self what the fuss is about. I laughed several times and enjoyed watching the show. It was both funny and entertaining. Finally, muslims can create images where we represent ourselves in ways that are not racist or insulting.

Congratulation to Zarqa for being a doer instead of a complainer. I hope that LITTLE MOSQUE ON THE PRAIRIE become a huge success.

Below are a few clips from the first episode which I didn't see, but it will give you a feel of the show. The clips include commercials ... so you need to be patient as you watch.

There is a way between voice and presence where information flows. In disciplined silence it opens. With wandering talk it closes. .... Rumi
