From CBC:
EPISODE 3: Wednesday, Jan. 31 – The Open House
(Repeats Monday, Feb. 5)
An open house meant to build bridges leads to unexpected consequences for both Muslim and non-Muslim communities.
More Little Mosque on the Prairie:
Comments are closed.
The comment regarding September 11th in the third episode was extremely offensive.
To compare an electrical fire (caused by a member of the mosque albeit accidentally) where no one was even injuried and the damage to the mosque amounted to a few rugs and other minor property to an act that caused the deaths of 2996 people was beyond the pale.
Can you imagine having to make the decision between either jumping to your death or being burned alive? Yet by that comment the show tries to trivalize this. That the CBC would allow that comment shows it to be lacking of any decency and conscience.
It is even more concerning when you realize that the vast majority of the people in the Muslim world and even one third of Westerners believe that September 11th was caused by the Americans and/or the Israelis. Was that the idea that was trying to be promoted? Just like that Muslim was blaming the infidels in the town for the fire that was really caused by another member of the mosque, the Muslims are being blamed for something that was caused by members of the West and therefore the electrical fire was indeed their September 11th.
I am quite offended that the CBC would go into encouraging that kind of thinking.
