While "humor" and "Muslims" might not seem a good fit, Canada has "Little Mosque on the Prairie," a, award-winning tv show that infuses a small-town religious minority with this trait. Zarqa Nawaz, the producer, has created storylines that affect the modern Muslim, such as prejudice relating to terrorism, whether or not to celebrate Halloween, and having an imam (or pastor) that can relate to youth.
The characters on "Little Mosque" are a blend of Muslim and non-Muslim characters. From Babar, the mosque caretaker, to the mayor, the entire bunch interacts realistically to teach lessons without being preachy. The talented cast who play these characters have done an excellent job, including Canadian-born Shelia McCarthy.
Through fictional characters, "Little Mosque" has been giving viewers the impression that Muslims are average people, a simple message that deserves to be heard. To watch episodes, you can go to [http://www.free-tv-video-online.info/internet/little_mosque_on_the_prairie/] or other sites.
