She is not a wahabi, but she does have some wahabi sympathizes that I am working to destroy.

Re: All American Muslim...
LOL @ Wahabbi sympathising grandmother
I wouldnt watch this with my parents, too many jaw drop moments for them. Yes they're Shia but their practise of Islam seems totally the same (ideologically) as Sunni...the differences are minor really.
I would say that they have more freedom in how they choose to express their faith and lifestyles than anywhere I've seen...everyone is seen as an equal, religious or not

Re: All American Muslim...
this is true but at the same time, to get a better representation the show needs to diversify its outlook instead of going to Dearbornunion wrote:Also, the show is an accurate representation of American Muslims. American Muslims are much wealthier and much more educated than European Muslims-hence the liberalism.
if you want to find American Muslims who are more like the traditional European types, you can find them in depressed urban areas with high recent immigrant population.
and you yell progressive Islam... dude, there's only one Islam.
Re: All American Muslim...
They probably choose more liberal Muslims because more recent immigrant Muslim (the conservative ones) probably aren't too keen on appearing on national t.v And I don't imagine many Americans being able to identify with them either.FAH1223 wrote:this is true but at the same time, to get a better representation the show needs to diversify its outlook instead of going to Dearbornunion wrote:Also, the show is an accurate representation of American Muslims.

And in reality, there's more than one type of Islam. Nice slogan though.
