"Little Mosque on the Prairie"

Al Jazeera News recently had a piece about a Canadian TV show that started last January. The show was written up in major Canadian and US newspapers, but most of the articles came out last year (in anticipation) or early last Spring, and are no longer available.

Being a Canadian show, there doesn't seem to be a problem about posting it on the Internet, so it's currently watchable in the UAE on YouTube.

The writer, a devout Muslim, said on Al Jazeera that her main aim was to be funny, and, personally, I thought the humour was quite good.

The two most sympathetic characters are the Anglican pastor and the Imam.

Most of the other characters, both Muslim and non-Muslim, have comic flaws that are in perfect balance.
