Today my professor made us watch Little Mosque on the Prairie. There are far to many things wrong with this show for me to let it go. In the past I have seen characters use the word Allahu Akbar as a greeting on 24. I have seen characters in the 3rd Rambo use inshAllah as a greeting but one mistake is tolerable, the amount of mistakes this show makes is not. Below is a list of things they got wrong, hope they read this, because if your gonna produce a TV show I would hope that you would have the budget to hire a real life Muslim to advise you on whats realistic and whats nonsense.
- The Imam in the show says Salam like my Mom
- Trying to see the moon out of a telescope
- The Imam is the most clean shaven guy I haven ever seen
- The guy leading Salah has THE WORST TAJWEED IN THE WORLD!
- The Imam can’t pronounce the word Imam
- Why is there a redneck community in Canada?
- Not all muslims hate American Idol
- Muslim communities are more diverse than Caucasian and Nigerian
- Women in the community don’t openly hit on the Imam
- Last time I checked Rayyan is a guys name
- When someone walks into the masjid mid salah the whole congregation doesn’t turn around and look
I can go on and on about this show but I don’t wanna spend that much time on it and I don’t wanna watch anymore of it to find mistakes. The only thing I could find that was accurate was that they couldn’t afford to pay the Imam.
HAHA, there is an episode where the Rayyan’s mom decides to start praying, and by the end of the week she’s so exhausted, it’s ridiculous…all because she wakes up early to pray fajr…oh and when she wakes up to pray she doesn’t do wudhu’…
As-salaamu’alaykum
LOL… very interesting! Fortunately I’ve never wasted time watching that show 🙂
You have an interesting blog! (you have my vote on that brass crescent award thing!
Take care

…. Rayyan is both a male or female name.
