All-American Muslim
TLC released a press release today stating that they are working on a new show about five Muslim families living in Dearborn, Michigan. The television show is supposed to provide an "intimate look at their customs and celebrations, as well as the misconceptions, conflicts and differences they face."
Apparently some people are concerned that this show will go the way of other ethnically-based reality shows, by portraying the characters as almost caricatures of their ethnicity (al la Jersey Shore). What do you think? Will this show be a good thing or a bad thing for Muslim Americans?
