It looked offensive to start with with words like muslimism and we all hate you but i think this will lead to the right path if the sitcom is done right. i'm dvr'ing it do will know more of what happens next week. the one thing i didnt liek whas the way they showed the character tryign to be a over muslim. like the scene where he lands and starts a praise be allah rant.

I think this should positively affect the American society when it comes to understanding Muslim beliefs and practices. This show shall be able to make the audience appreciate the social dynamics of integrating two different cultures and religious beliefs. Looking from outside at a daily life situation develop, settle and conclude at the end of each play shall assist the American society come to terms with the different manifestation of our human beliefs that are majorly the same. Good effort I must say. Someone was asking for a torrent link?! I read this a few days back while searching for new movie titles ;-)
