Little Mosque on the Prairie Season 1 Ep 1 Part 1

The series focuses on the Muslim community in the fictional prairie town of Mercy, Saskatchewan (population 14,000). The primary institutions of the community are the local mosque, presided over by imam Amaar Rashid and located in the rented parish hall of the town's Anglican church, and Fatima's Café, a downtown diner run by Fatima Dinssa. The community patriarchs are Yasir Hamoudi, a construction contractor who originally fronted the money to establish the mosque under the pretense that he was renting office space for his business, and Baber Siddiqui, a college economics professor who served as the mosque's temporary imam until Amaar was hired.

The town of Mercy is governed by Mayor Ann Popowicz. Sarah Hamoudi, Yasir's wife, works as a public relations officer in Popowicz's office

Honor killings have nothing to do with islam...

[MusliMarvels Mariam]

The so-called imam while they were supposedly praying said 'wa tawaasaw bil khusr' when it should be 'wa tawaasaw bil haqq'. Also why is there a cross behind the imam when he was giving a speech

[David Thompson]

Ridiculous stereotyping of westerners!

[drcldrcl]

why is it dangerous? If anything this show is a good thing. It makes it easier for white people to relate to muslims.

[drcldrcl]
