    There is a new show called "Aliens in America" starting this Autumn in the us which looks very interesting. Take a look at some of the clips on here, they look pretty funny. Its about a Pakistani exchange student going to the US to live with an American family.

    There is also the Canadian show "Little Mosque on the Pariae", not seen it yet, but it also sounds interesting.

    here here the_new_mr.. I think the Americans, and some other Western nations, have jumped on the bandwagon of using the new international problem of terrorism (and misinterpreting it) in their shows. It's something that is a shame. As for the "
    How many Muslims think Israel is a great country?
    " it's most likely there to satisfy the Zionist viewer, not condoning it just trying to put some reason behind it. You're right Israel is not a great country, and they not only offend Muslims in saying that, but they are branding all valid critics of the State of Israel in an unfavourable light.

    As I'm sure you know the state of Israel and that whole disputed territory is home to a very significant population of Muslims so I don't imagine he meant in in terms of what religion its inhabitants happen to adhere to.
    For the record, you'd struggle to find anyone on this forum ever calling the countries you mention above 'great nations', Muslim or not.

    Nationalism and Islam don't enjoy one another's company, politics doesn't belong here either, so I think it's a fair request to ask you to take any discussion about the politics of nationalism to another forum.

    Moosejam that is your second post in a row following this line and there has been a warning against it. It's not for the Islam forum, and I hope that's the last warning about it for this thread.

    well back on topic so, speaking of law and order did anyone see Monday's, the criminal was a stereotypical "Mad Moslem" excuse the phrase, who murdered two people, the reason for the crime was he hated woman, his very loud defense in court was that America was on a crusade to destroy Islam, I think that show is going overboard with the whole Muslin storyline

    Im not a muslim. I do feel however that certain aspects of the media do potray the muslim community in an unhelpful way. It further creates a divide between us. People need to ask themselves if the IRA were still bombing would it be ok for the media to potray all irish people as crazed bombers.
