Here it is again: yet another article calling for the long-desired Muslim family situation comedy that is going to cure “Islamophobia” by showing racist, ignorant, xenophobic Americans that hey, look, Muslims are just like us. Katie Couric called for it during the Ground Zero Mosque controversy, saying that what America needed was a Muslim Cosby Show. Reza Aslan, with his typical moronic arrogance, later updated the demand and called for a Muslim “All in the Family,” apparently not realizing that the central character of that show was a butt of jokes and an object of ridicule. But clearly he meant the same thing: if Americans could just see Muslims outside of the context of jihad terrorism, they would love them, and “Islamophobia” would evanesce. Then Barack Obama said at the Islamic Society of Baltimore that “our TV shows should have Muslim characters that are unrelated to national security.”
It is certain to come sooner or later. Will it work? Will it make Americans drop their concerns about jihad terror? Unlikely. The whole idea that Muslims are threatened, harassed and discriminated against in the U.S. is a creation of the Islamic advocacy industry, which knows well how well it pays to be a victim in the U.S. today. Those groups — Hamas-linked CAIR, ISNA, MPAC and the rest — will still need to play the victimhood game even while this sitcom is running, and after its run has ended. So we will continue to see fake hate crimes and claims of discrimination, and the failure of this show to stem the tide of “Islamophobia” will be touted as a reason why Muslims deserve special privileges and the further weakening of counter-terror measures.
Oh, and when Aasif Mandvi does win his Golden Globe and screams “Allahu akbar,” there will be a momentary gasp, followed by laughter and applause growing to a standing ovation. Jihad mass murder committed by Muslims screaming exactly the same thing? Only “Islamophobes” care about that.
“Muslims still searching for their ‘Cosby Show’ moment,” by Hannah Allam, Miami Herald, April 26, 2016 (thanks to Darcy):
When Jennifer Zobair sat down to write her first novel, she already had a muse in mind for the heroine, a glamorous, foul-mouthed Muslim woman whose high-profile job in Boston politics is on the line after a terrorist attack.
The character, Zainab, was inspired in part by Muslim political operative Huma Abedin, a longtime aide to Hillary Clinton and vice chairwoman of Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign. Zainab and her fictional friends struggle to balance their high-pressure jobs with family expectations, like many real-life Muslim girlfriends of the author, an Iowa-born convert to Islam. And although terrorists are central to the plot, Zobair said, she was determined not to let them overshadow the romance at the heart of the story.
“I was thinking of people with anti-Muslim views and thought, ‘Can I change that? What would it take?’ ” Zobair recalled in an interview at her home in Virginia. “Well, it’s got to be love.”
What would it take? How about cutting out the jihad terror attacks?
Unfortunately for Zobair, her book, “Painted Hands,” was released in spring 2013, coinciding with the Boston marathon bombing, in which two radicalized Muslim brothers killed three people and wounded more than 250. Reviewers wouldn’t touch a Muslim love story set in Boston, Zobair said. And so she watched as the novel she’d hoped would introduce book clubs to the unseen lives of ordinary Muslim families instead got lost in the nonstop coverage of homegrown terrorists.
“It was sad because the publicist kept saying, ‘This is a time where people need to read your book, because it’s showing what Muslim American lives are like in a way that people don’t see,’ ” Zobair said. “But we just could not get any traction. It was just really unfortunate timing.”
This unhappy ending is familiar to Muslims across the arts who are struggling to diversify depictions of Islam only to confront hardened stereotypes and a lack of executive-level support across the creative fields. In more than a dozen interviews, Muslims working in mass media named three common archetypes representing a faith with more than a billion followers: the terrorist “bad Muslim,” the hyper-patriotic “good Muslim,” and the oppressed woman yearning for liberation.
The past couple of years have yielded a handful of breakout moments, but representation of Islam remains overwhelmingly narrow and negative – a problem that’s not only unjust on its own, but one that also stokes anti-Muslim prejudices at home and gives ammunition to jihadist recruiters abroad, according to media critics and counter-extremism specialists….
Muslim writers and artists agreed that they haven’t yet reached what some regard as their “Cosby Show moment,” a breakthrough hit that transforms mainstream thinking about Islam the way “The Cosby Show” challenged images of African Americans.
The comedian Aasif Mandvi, a regular on The Daily Show, made a tongue-in-cheek reference to that goal with his web series “Halal in the Family,” described as “a sitcom parody about an all-American Muslim family.” The last name of the fictional family is, “Qu’osby.”
Mandvi said there are now enough American Muslims in media and entertainment to be able to push through some better roles. Rather than dwell on the projects that never got off the ground, he said, they should keep trying for that hit that will propel them into the mainstream.
“You have to keep on creating stuff. It’s about a zeitgeist moment,” Mandvi said in a phone interview. “We’re in a period of time right now where Hollywood, maybe for the first time in a long time, is looking at diversity in another way, with the #OscarsSoWhite movement. This conversation is happening.”
The slow evolution in roles can be seen in the USA network’s “Mr. Robot,” in which an Egyptian-American actor plays a computer programmer who struggles with the moral questions of his secret life as a vigilante hacker. The one obviously Muslim character is Trenton, an Iranian-American woman whose role is written to focus on her hacking skills, not her headscarf.
The show’s Egyptian-American creator, Sam Esmail, thanked his family in Arabic when “Mr. Robot” won this year’s Golden Globe award for best TV drama. Muslim fans of the show delighted in hearing the language of the Quran broadcast on national television from one of Hollywood’s biggest events.
“Just wait till I win my Golden Globe and I yell, ‘Allahu Akbar!’ ” said Mandvi, with a chuckle. “I’m so ready!”

Dreadnaught says
They have tried it here in the UK with a comedy programme called Citizen Kahn which was rounded on by all kinds of spittle flecked abuse from Muslims and it wasn’t just because the writing was crap.
jayell says
Never bothered watching it but I believe that the humour was supposed to be not so much in the obvious allusion to ‘Ctizen Kane’ as a kind of rip-off of another UK sitcom called ‘Citizen Jones’, where the central character was a ‘lovable loony-lefty, pseudo-revolutionary, somewhat eccentric person, hardly Mr. Average, but a basically good, well-meaning and harmless guy’. If the muslims who complained saw THAT sort of thing in ‘Citizen Kahn’, then it would not be surprising if it the imagery clashed with their self-image as the Great Unrecognised Universal Ubermensch and new Ethno-cultural Aristocracy of the UK (a bit like the Norman French when they invaded and took over the place in 1066). As for the idea of ‘romance’ in some kind of muslim-orientated show, for me it would be as attractive as those educational wild-life shows that insist on showing in detail the mating rituals of some repulsive submarine mollusc.
gravenimage says
Then there was the Canadian show “Little Mosque on the Prairie”–another rip-off title–that was apparently quite dire. I never had a chance to see it here in the States, but I don’t think I missed much.
linnte says
Having a sit com about Islam seems dangerous to me. I certainly wouldn’t want to act in one. I might die laughing!
Ex-muslim says

Oh, I don’t! Not even five year old Muslims.
LR says
linnte,
Well, I find that sad. It’s your business, but I know Muslim kids and they are just like a lot of other kids. I love them.
linnte says
LR it is very difficult to alter a childs thinking once they have been indoctrinated. By five, that is the case. I m sure these kids are exactly like other non Muslim kids, except for that one thing. If Islam is to be eradicated completely, that person who is five will grow up to return to his roots unquestionably. Then the battle will just start over. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Western Muslim kids won’t be impossible to change because of the influence of our culture. We see it all the time…a teenager wants to join IS. Their altruistic view on life gives them passion and determination that goes way deeper than a fourth hear olds!
Let’s just pray that it will never have to happen.
LR says
linnte,
There are Muslim kids growing up in the U.S. that are fine. They were born here, their best friends are sometimes Jewish, mom dresses in ‘regular’ western clothes. In other words, they look like any other American famiy, and are integrating fine.
And just a note to let you know, I am VERY familiar with the realities of religious indoctrination.
Jaladhi says
No, no, – never ever trust a Muslim!!
Bob says
If youre a mere kafur, then any number of ‘porkies’ told to you is apparently morally acceptable!
Mockingjay says
If an ex-muslim is saying that about his “own” people, then it is a very SCARY statement indeed.
Champ says
Indeed, Mockingjay! ..good point!

Nope, won’t ‘buy’ that.
A Muslim saved the Jews in a terrorist attack. It’s only right to see people as the individuals they are.

Dacritic says
I share your view linnte, but not the laughing to death bit. I’ll be afraid to act in one because Muhammad is well known for being able to take jokes in his stride, isn’t he? Islam and comedy? Really? Mad Mo had people executed for singing jokes about him!
PJG says
We have had Muslim comedians laughing about non-Muslims in their comedy shows in Australia. “Fear of a Brown Planet” is one such show. The non-Muslims love it; it seems they are very happy for Muslims to make mean jokes about us.

Hindu American says
Isn’t it ironical? SitCom or “situation comedy” about dealing with islam?
blitz2b says
I don’t get why they have to go through the process of screenwriting for a Muslim sitcom. All they really have to do is read the English translation of the Koran, in a kind of stand up monologue comedy… The stupidity found in it can leave you in stitches…
Dean says
A sitcom about a warm and cuddly Muslim family will certainly prove to all you Islamophobes just how prejudiced and shortsighted you are. It is so obviously your fault that so many of them are forced by your intolerance to misunderstand the peaceful religion and strike back against the unearned backlash for the misdeeds of a few. Unfortunately, this is actually working on so many of what was once a self-assertive western culture, and Couric’s cluelessness about Islam is balanced by her understanding of the power of TV on today’s culture.
ninetyninepct says
A cuddly Muslim family, sitting around in the evening, women at the back of course, sharpening their beheading knives and taking bomb making lessons from Khadr. Episode 4 will be identical to episode 1. The series will end prematurely when the whole concept blows up in their faces.
revereridesagain says
If this “Islamphobia” agitprop ever does hit the tv screens the proper response is: Educate or boycott the sponsors. It worked on Al Jazeera America and it will work on these slimeballs for whom the dead and maimed in Boston mean nonthing but a speedbump in their push for the culture jihad.
jihad3tracker says
How about a “proper response” also contacting the AUTHOR of this article, another adventure in deluded fantasy? Give her a dose of POLITE CONCISE FACTS about Islam and its 1400 year history, with a current agenda of subjugation & violence against non-Muslims.
Here is a contact path — hallam@mcclatchydc.com
Please include SPECIFIC CITATIONS OF VERSES IN THE QUR’AN AND HADITH — reminding this well intended but clueless Western-values media person that there is no “Islamophobia” when the believers of this “faith” actually want to kill us. The accurate word is “ISLAMOREALITY”.
Sog says
Perhaps they’ll touch upon the kafirophobia or apostatophobia the two “phobias” acted upon by radical islamists that actually result in genocidal behavior and mass death. Then again, maybe not.
Judi says
Al Jazeera’s demise in the US was mainly thanks to the efforts of the Florida Family Association who bombarded advertisers with thousands of e-mails informing them of how deeply tied up the station was with CAIR and other terrorist organisations.
LR says
The thing about All Jazeera though…They did run really good docs. I didn’t see anywhere else.
Mark says
They should bring out a Muslim version of “everybody hates Chris” called ” everybody hates Muhammad “. Show everyone that Muslims have a sense of humour.
… Wouldn’t it?
elizabeth says
A television comedy series portraying “moderate” Muslims? Bosch Fawstin, winner of the “Draw Mohammed” contest of May 2015, is an ex-Muslim with a “moderate” Muslim background, Bosch had significant things to to say about moderate Islam in his acceptance speech:
Thank everyone for coming here. I think it’s fantastic. It’s a great turnout. It’s important. And if you can see the security out there [police presence outside the building], why do we need that kind of security? Why? Because the only reason we are talking about Islam is . . . because Islam does not mean ‘peace.’ That’s the only reason we are talking about it. I have a Muslim background, but the problem with even moderate Muslims (I was raised in the Bronx by Albanian Muslim parents) is that the poison — misogyny and Jew-hatred — gets everyone, I don’t care how “decent” they are . . . .
[Concerning commonplace misogyny:] I don’t know of one female in my generation who wasn’t beaten by her husband. I know that my mom used to mourn the birth of my nieces. I was shocked when I first saw it. I didn’t know what she was doing. I found out . . . . Even though being raised around that crap, it still really affected me.
[Concerning commonplace Jew-hatred:] There was a casual admiration for Hitler in my household and my further family. That’s why I refer to Hitler as “Islam’s favorite infidel.” They [Muslims] forgive him that he is not Muslim, because he killed more Jews than anyone. So it is that kind of casual evil that poisons everyone who calls himself Muslim. I don’t care if they’re decent. I still have cousins that I somewhat see, you know, talk to here and there, but it’s always stunted [stultified] by the fact of the work that I’m doing, but they’re not out to kill people . . . [Yet] they are still affected in terrible ways by the ideology.
I’ve drawn Mohammed about two dozen times over the years. The first time I drew him was after the Danish cartoonists. I never set out to draw Mohammed. I don’t think the Danish cartoonists ever set out to draw Mohammed. It’s just the point that we can’t draw Mohammed, and therefore, what do we do, naturally? We draw Mohammed, especially as Westerners, as Americans. I left Islam in my mid-teens and began to take morality seriously. I found Ayn Rand’s philosophy. And, as I put it, I left the most misogynistic ideology on earth [and embraced] a philosophy created by a woman, which is pretty amazing. Then 9-11 hits, and I studied Islam as if my life depended on it. I read every book of Robert Spencer, Andrew Bostom, and others: on jihad, on Islam, and I probably overdid it because I wanted to write a comic book post-9-11. I realize that Marvel and DC and all the mainstream comics would not touch the issue of Islam. They would never allow Captain America to do what would come naturally to Captain America: take on jihad ruthlessly; he’s a super-soldier. So I stepped back and said, “OK, what kind of comic book, what kind of hero can I create?” And being raised Muslim, we were told that the pig is the most vile creature in the world; it’s disgusting, and so … ‘Islamic pigotry’ [is] where [the superhero] Pigman came from: I said, “Let me have an ex-Muslim superhero dress up in pigskin leather and ruthlessly fight jihad.” And that’s my story: it’s called “The Infidel.” I could talk about Islam, jihad for hours, but let me finish by reciting what Pamela Geller said recently about why we draw Mohammed. She wrote, “We draw Mohammed because we are free. We draw Mohammed because our unalienable rights are enshrined in the First Amendment. The Freedom of Speech is the First Amendment, not the fifth, or the eighth, or the tenth, but the First, and that’s for an important reason: it is the cornerstone of all our other freedoms. We draw Mohammed because, unlike brutal Muslim countries under the Sharia, we do not live under Islamic law. We draw Mohammed because we will not submit. We draw Mohammed because we can.” Thank you very much.
jihad3tracker says
Hello Elizabeth — Thank you for this post about Bosch and his remarks when accepting Pamela and Robert’s top prize in the Garland venue.
Time goes by so rapidly ! We are now just a few days away from the 1-YEAR anniversary, when two enthusiastic worshippers of bloodthirsty Allah decided that tolerance for freedom should be thrown under the bus of Islamic supremacism.
If you and other readers at JW want an example of the ABSOLUTE NADIR IN MEDIA COWARDICE, search a column of privilege-guilt multicultural Kathleen Parker, which she posted around May 9 after that jihad attack.
I have considered sending her an email of inquiry asking whether she grew a spine since then, thus no longer thinking, as David Wood posits, “When it comes to Muhammad our expectations automatically drop to the floor”.
But the abundance of comments recorded by contemptuous respondents seemed sufficient public shaming, so I did not parachute down with more opprobrium.
elizabeth says
Hello, Hello, jihad3tracker,
I’m not familiar with Kathleen Parker’s work but from your description it very likely originates from the same kind of “accidie” that Bosch Fawstin decries so fiercely in his “Infidel” series, which itself is an unsullied example of media courage at its zenith.
elizabeth says
apologies for the double ‘hello’ typo!
Darryl Kerney says
islam cannot survive the wisdom and Reason of Ayn Rand’s philosophy,

Thank you, Elizabeth, for this information about Bosch Fawstin and his speech. In the UK we heard little about the ‘draw mohammad’ event because of the usual biased-left-wing-media problem we suffer from here.
What a brave man: more power to his elbow!
underbed cat says
Excellent comment and information about Bosch Fawstin. He was brave considering the insane penalties of sharia and the current climate of misinformation and apparent facilitators and friends of the doctrine of no peace, in the administrations’ departments, which have switched sides in America. No matter what we need the 28 pages……falsehoods jb ….really now.

I was there that day to hear Bosch’s great speech, after which the contest was attacked by two machine gun wielding Jihadis in body armor, who were immediately shot and killed by the ample security on hand.

Fessitude says
Reza Aslan, with his typical moronic arrogance, later updated the demand and called for a Muslim “All in the Family,” apparently not realizing that the central character of that show was a butt of jokes and an object of ridicule. But clearly he meant the same thing: if Americans could just see Muslims outside of the context of jihad terrorism, they would love them, and “Islamophobia” would evanesce.
The idea casually bounced around by Reza and <iAll In the Family creator Norman Lear (still living at age 93 — who said anti-American Leftism is bad for your health?) probably conceived of a non-Muslim Archie Bunker who would be updated from a 70s bigot into a 21st century Islamophobe — with his daughter and son-in-law routinely, in that arrogantly self-righteous way that seems to come naturally to Leftists, chiding him for his regressive close-minded attitudes, and his pleasantly ditzy wife furrowing her brow in the intuition that her husband means well, but is being unfair to all those nice Muslims (meanwhile the shows would parade in plenty of Muslim-American characters each week as foils to demonstrate Archie’s Islamophobia. One show could even have Archie’s daughter Gloria considering conversion to Islam — while Archie has a series of conniption fits at which the audience laughs like he’s a clown, while she and “Meathead” lecture Archie on why he’s over-reacting and being “paranoid” and “bigoted”, etc.
And, if (Allah forbid) this idea ever became realized — “Allah in the Family” — it’s highly unlikely the new actor to play Archie would be as brilliant as Carroll O’Connor who, in his ingenious ability to play the bigoted clown and yet still manage to invest the character with a degree of redeeming and even touching common sense, lifted that show up from being the one-dimensional Stalinist propaganda Norman Lear probably had in mind.
mortimer says
Ironic that the last name of the fictional family is “Qu’osby.”
Qos was the predecessor of Allah, the war god of Arabia, known to Romans as Mars. There is nothing but bad news in Islam. If there is actual good news emanating from Muslims, it is because they are not acting as Muslims, but are actually deviating from their discriminatory, draconian Sharia and behaving as civilized humans with true tolerance of the dirty, najis kufaar…just because they enjoy being nice to other nice people…that is something that contradicts every Islamic principle.
Muslims should never befriend or support the dirty kufaar ‘in any way’. All Muslims know that.
Once this show offends some mullah, a fatwa will go out for the Muslims in the cast or ‘others’ and the show will cancelled. More than likely, though, the show will never see the light of day as sponsor one after another pull out of their sponsorship. No one ever will want to see more than one episode of this unrealistic propaganda exercise. They will watch one show from curiosity.
Sog says
Yes. The golden rule and golden intent seems to just leak from heaven exiting out from the souls of good people regardless of creed.
mortimer says
Islam is the only world religion that does not contain a version of the Golden Rule (ethic of reciprocity). Islam has the ‘Mob Rule’ of K. 48.29. It requires that Muslims be ‘violent to the kufaar, but compassionate between one another.’
blitz2b says
All those who genuinely don’t see a problem with Islam as a religion and bend backwards to appease this ideology of hate must either be an Islam pandering leftist or a brainwashed/ brain dead mozzie…. There are literally only two ends to that spectrum. Anyone entering the gray area in between will instantly grow a brain and leave the death cult.
Jack Diamond says
Nobody will watch. But there is something to the Cosby analogy, given what we now know about the man. Islam too, is not what people think it is (though the fact nobody will watch is a clue to how people really feel about the most hated “religion” on earth).
A character based on Huma Abedin is also perfect. Just a wanna-be all-American girl from Kalamazoo (cue the song). A success story. Maybe the wife of a former President has the hots for her. That might be amusing. Let’s have her marry a Jewish man who makes a public jackass of himself. Poor long-suffering Huma. Look, she’s no bigot, she married a Jewish adulterer (well, cyber adulterer). But her own Muslim family, think how funny old “Uncle” Naseef will be. She worked for Uncle Naseef. Uncle Naseef is the patron of her father and mother and their careers in far-away Saudi Arabia. And you know, Uncle Naseef turns out to be someone pretty important. He was the head of the Muslim World League. He founds the Rabita Trust (a designated Foreign Terrorist Entity) and personally appoints no less than Wa’el Hamza Jalaidan, one of the founders of al-Qaida, to be in charge. Wow, he knows famous people! Rabita Trust is part of the SAAR Network (flashback to Herdon, VA) that funds charities doing good in the world, like al Qaeda (and Hamas and Hizballah and Palestinian Islamic Jihad), right up till 9/11. It’s a small world after all, folks. History is just people like you and me and Huma and Uncle Naseef. Why, this Muslim World League is so important it is considered an arm of the government of Saudi Arabia! But Uncle Naseef is always so funny. He’d have all these hilarious stories about “When Jihad Goes Wrong”–kind of a show within a show. Funny and humanizing stories about would-be jihadis blowing themselves up accidentally or otherwise failing miserably to set off an explosive in their shoes, their underwear, or their anuses. Isn’t is great Huma knows such interesting people? Otherwise, she’s just like you and me. She brushes her teeth. She searches for that missing shoe in the morning. She has her feelings hurt by ignorant, right-wing bigots. And, of course, it’s a love story. Tonight’s episode: “Kiss of Death…
Judi says
Jack – good comment.
Fessitude says
Her show could be called I’m Only Huma.
Fessitude says
Co-producer, Hoda Kotb.
She’s the Egyptian-American Muslim co-host along with conservative Christian celebrity Kathie-Lee Gifford of the ABC morning show, Kathie Lee and Hoda.
Hoda would do it because, as an Arab-American, she’s concerned to “help reverse some of the negative stereotypes out there about Arab-Americans” (note her last name, essentially the same name, merely transliterated differently, as the name of the Egyptian godfather of modern terrorism, Sayyid Qutb…)
Jack Diamond says
Should just be called “Victim”, though she might want to call it “A Proud Muslim”. Subtitled “Terrorist in Tights” or “Jihad in High Heels” or “Huma on the Range” or just “I Spy”. Her perfume, ‘World Domination’ (“it smells like victory”) will be associated with the show. Of course it will actually smell like shit but apparently people won’t notice the difference since someone like Jennifer Aniston will be advertising wearing it. NBC will lose a fortune as it tanks within a few weeks. It will, however, win a Golden Globe.
mortimer says
If Jack Diamond writes the scrip, I will watch the show.

“Muslims still searching for their ‘Cosby Show’ moment,” by Hannah Allam, Miami Herald…
The reporter there, Hannah Allam, is an Egyptian-American Muslim — born in Oklahoma in 1977, then raised in Saudi Arabia and the UAE, then came back to the States to pursue school and career.
“After only a short time with the paper, she felt like her presence and her background as an Arab American Muslim, as well as, her fluency in English, Arabic and French, could help change the way Arabs and Muslims are portrayed in the media. ”
“Ms. Allam …shared stories on her dream job growing up (which just so happens to be the same one she has now), memories of her role model, the late Anthony Shadid…”
http://www.aaiusa.org/young_arab_americans_sit_down_with_journalist_hannah_allam
On Anthony Shadid — another Muslim American (also born in Oklahoma) — we have his blog, in which he touts his own book, Legacy of the Prophet: Despots, Democrats, and the New Politics of Islam with this description:
As terrorism floods our headlines, this book offers a rare but much-needed counterpoint: it shows that Islamic activists have increasingly renounced violence in order to form political parties, engage in grass-roots work, and enter into civil society to bring about peaceful reform in their authoritarian societies.:
http://anthonyshadid.com/legacy-of-the-prophet-despots-democrats-and-the-new-politics-of-islam/
Increasingly, if one pays attention to Western news media, we are seeing more and more infiltration of Muslim reporters, journalists, op-ed writers, and probably also editors (not to mention their counterparts in television news) — waging Jihad bil Qalam (“jihad of the pen”).
billybob says
After reading all the comments, I find I am alone in my praise of the idea of having a television drama about everyday Muslims. This is how my drama would go…
In the beginning, we are introduced episode by episode to the main characters: A pretty teenage girl in a strict Muslim family, a young man attending second year university, a traditional Muslim housewife with half a dozen kids, and finally, a fifty year old devout Muslim taxi driver.
The life story of each is slowly fleshed out, and it seems we find each in a moment of spiritual crises. One by one, each begin having serious doubts about their religion. Of course, this has very different consequences in each case. The teenage girl is often being confined to the house by her father when he suspects she has non-Muslim friends. The housewife finds her husband and his demands increasingly odious as she finds her religion hollow and empty of support for her… and so on.
Anyhow, each ends up leaving their faith in an often painful process where they have some deep soul searching about the morality, or rather, lack of it in Islam. The girl is eventually killed by her father when he catches her with makeup on and no hajib walking with a boy. The college student is ostracized by his family and his funds are cut off, etc, etc…
Finally, they are all brought together in the end – except the girl of course – in a clandestine meeting of those who have left the faith. One by one they find new and fulfilling lives for themselves. The taxi driver become a Christian, while the college student becomes an atheist. After repeated abuse, the housewife murders her husband but manages to escape suspicion. The murder is blamed on a random home invasion.
So the bottom line here is something that will help Muslims everywhere to leave their horrible religion behind, while at the same time informing everybody else about the realities of this vile religion.
Fessitude says
With regard to the likelihood of a critical mass of hundreds of millions of Muslims around the world apostasizing, billybob’s show is in the genre of fantasy science fiction. The more likely effect of such a show would be merely to lull us into an overly optimistic view of the problem. Perhaps mortimer could be the producer, or develop the spin-off series, Deradicalized.
Jay Boo says
“The murder is blamed on a random home invasion.”
— a random home invasion?????
That part is not plausible.
Muslims would always choose to falsely blame it on an Islamophobia attack.
Keys says
“Here it is again: yet another article calling for the long-desired Muslim family situation comedy…”
Well, since “there is no fun in Islam” according to the late Ayatollah Khomeini, instrument of Allah and Koranic scholar, this “comedy” can not be funny, or fun filled.
So, how about a “show about something” so stern that you dare not laugh, and never desire to see a rerun.
JawsV says
Blondie from Iowa in the article converted to Islam. Ain’t that nice. Now she worships a pagan Arabian moon deity. She has got to have a screw loose.
linnte says
I tell ya what I WOULD watch; a show that enacts (accurately of course)what Muhammad did from beginning to end, with all the stories that are in the Qur’an reenacted, like the Moses story. Word for word. Then after all that is done, continue on with a world view show (from different countries perspective and Muhammedans perspective) of how Islam engaged with the world for the past 1400 years.
Keys says
Great idea, linnte. It could be modeled after the Charltan Heston (played Moses) classic, “The Ten Commandments”.
All characters could be portrayed by talented actors, except, unfortunately, Mohammed, who could not be pictured in the film.
If he were visible, people who work at the film studios could be slaughtered, embassies could be burned, film makers jailed, politicians could lie about “the horrible video”, and we’d have to have someone appear on at least 5 Sunday talk shows denouncing the movie and justifying and exonerating the rioters.
linnte says
Aw heck Keys! Let’s have it done any way! I want to see the winged donkey take Muhammad to the seven heavens! And PLEASE can there be Jinns? I am ready curious about those guys!
Keys says
LOL.

“Then after all that is done, continue on with a world view show (from different countries perspective and Muhammedans perspective) of how Islam engaged with the world for the past 1400 years.”
If Carly Fiorina, Republican businesswoman and nominee for the Vice-Presidency under the staunchly no-nonsene Christian conservative Ted Cruz, had anything to do with that show, it would be brimming with monstrous falsehoods about how wonderful Islam was during the Middle Ages.
See the last few paragraphs of a speech Fiorina gave a couple of weeks after 911 — practically while the smoke was still clearing — in which she vomits forth in a gush of diarrhea out of her mouth over 400 words lavishing praise of Islamic “cilivilization” —

Hi Fessitude!
Quick question: what did you thought of Trump right after the Garland attack and what do you think of him now?
Thanks.

I underwent that strange (and relatively rare) phenomenon called changing your mind when new data comes in. I highly recommend it to Angemon.

You’re not answering my question, voeg. What did you thought of Trump right after the Garland attack and what do you think of him now?
Because I remember you saying, and I quote:
https://www.jihadwatch.org/2015/09/trump-theres-a-terrorism-problem-with-some-muslims#comment-1297394
That was in reply to Trump saying “some muslims are the problem”. And I know how much you loathe people who say “some muslims are the problem”, seeing how you like to like to deride and laugh at people who don’t say “ALL muslims”.
Did miss something? Did Trump say “ALL muslims” somewhere? Is that why he went from being an “all hair, no cattle illiterate” to… well, whatever you’re calling him now?
Where’s this “new data” you’re blaming for your alleged “change of mind”? FAnd changing from what to what? Because, as I pointed, you’re not answering my question: what did you thought of Trump right after the Garland attack and what do you think of him now?

Have yet to see or find anything amusing about Islam or Muslim behaviors & practices.
Wellington says
Putting lipstick on a pig never works. Islam is horrendous and it is not capable of reform (those who think so are just enabling evil, however sincere they may be).
Moreover, its true totalitarian, liberty crushing, control-freak aspects will only be all the more revealed with each passing year. Islam still has life but so did Nazi Germany in 1944.
Am I comparing Islam to Nazism? You bet I am since both belief systems single out groups of human beings for second-class status or death——-ethnic groups in Nazism’s case, non-believers in Islam’s case. Really, whether you’re dealing with a master race theory or a master faith theory, both are repugnant because of “the master stuff.” By now, one knows this or should know it.
P.S. A sit-com about a totalitarian ideology by way of putting a happy face on it, i.e., lipstick on a pig, won’t work. Not even close.
Rufolino says
Thanks for your excellent comment Wellington. And in Nazism and Islam, not only ethnic groups and non-believers are singled out for second-class status and death: homosexuals are selected for such treatment by BOTH these satanic cults.
Fessitude says
It wouldn’t be a sit-com about a totalitarian ideology — it would be a sit-com lampooning the bigotry of those who “paint Muslims with a broad brush”. Perhaps Angemon could be consulted for the scripts, based upon his sophistical reaction to my impassioned argument in effect calling for what I have been elsewhere many times calling for — to wit: prejudice against all Muslims —
Readers will want to click on this link for my recent comment — https://www.jihadwatch.org/2016/04/robert-spencer-speaks-in-calgary-leftists-and-islamic-supremacists-outraged/comment-page-1#comment-1427689 — then scroll up for context, then down for Angemon’s reaction. I of course have not read it and hopefully never will subject myself to getting ensnared in his typical rabbit-trail of sophistry. I encourage anyone to take a look at it and see if my suspicions (the jaded fruit of countless times I used to tangle with him in the old days) are not correct — that, in effect, his “response” to my argument was not an actual counter-argument, but a tissue of sophistry effectively defending a soft position on the problem of Muslims. If you think I’m wrong, I encourage any non-Angemons and non-JayBoos to explain with an argument how I’m wrong. If you think I’m right, it would be nice once in a blue moon to help me out against Angemon, who has been pestering me for ages. (Since I rejoined Jihad Watch under this nickname “Fessitude” a couple of months ago, Angemon has alighted upon my comments tirelessly, hopping like an Energizer Bunny from thread to thread following me around,, nipping at my heels, while I have been (until now) ignoring him.)

Can you point to anything I write and explain why it’s “sophistry”? Or are you back to your old habits of slandering me? You know, things are what they say they are because you say so – the accusation is the evidence.
“Readers will want to click on this link for my recent comment — https://www.jihadwatch.org/2016/04/robert-spencer-speaks-in-calgary-leftists-and-islamic-supremacists-outraged/comment-page-1#comment-1427689 — then scroll up for context, then down for Angemon’s reaction.”
So it’s back to your old habits – things are what they say they are because you say so, the accusation is the evidence. How long until the pathetic whining for others to come in to defend you or explain my argument to you?
“ I of course have not read it ”
Huh, you do realize your pretentiousness isn’t really helping your case, right? You don’t excuse from backing your assertion regarding my posts by saying you have not read them. But you know what? I bet you read them. ALL of them. And I bet you can’t answer any of them. Hence the childish reaction.
Let me remind you of what you wrote:
Your capability to gauge alleged reactions without reading posts is nothing short of miraculous. Can you read minds as well?
“and hopefully never will subject myself to getting ensnared in his typical rabbit-trail of sophistry.”
Again, you never, ever – not even once – explained why anything I wrote is “sophistry”. In typical leftist fashion, the accusation is the evidence, and the belief that repeating a lie enough times will get people to believe in it.
“ I encourage anyone to take a look at it and see if my suspicions (the jaded fruit of countless times I used to tangle with him in the old days) are not correct ”
I have. They’re not.
“that, in effect, his “response” to my argument was not an actual counter-argument”
Why wasn’t it? Because you claim so, that’s why.
“ If you think I’m wrong, I encourage any non-Angemons and non-JayBoos to explain with an argument how I’m wrong.”
Well, that didn’t take long… Let me guess: if no one says anything you won’t assume that you’re wrong – that people read what I posted and agree with it – you’ll instead assume that everyone agreed with you, right? Because JW is a high-school and it’s all about having a large posse, right?
“If you think I’m right, it would be nice once in a blue moon to help me out against Angemon, who has been pestering me for ages.”
Back to your Orwellian double-speak, eh? Define “pestering”. Because it seems that you feel entitled to have your posts exempted of criticism. “Criticizing” you becomes “pestering” you.
“(Since I rejoined Jihad Watch under this nickname “Fessitude” a couple of months ago, Angemon has alighted upon my comments tirelessly, hopping like an Energizer Bunny from thread to thread following me around,”
Now, now, voeg, that’s demonstrably false. I post before you in the overwhelming majority of JW topics. Heck, I even post in topic you don’t post. I imagine how tempting the leftist habit of playing the victim must be, but you’re overstepping its reach in a way that would make even muslims think twice. I deny your statement that I’m following you around, and I say that it’s you that’s following me around, since I post before you in the overwhelming majority of JW topics where we both post.
Wellington says
Uh, Fessitude/voegelinian/Lemmon-Lime/Hesperado, I submit (hope you appreciate the use of this word) that the “lampooning the bigotry…..” would be the lipstick on a pig that I already mentioned. The most gullible would think they’re looking at Miss Universe but many would, well, see lipstick on a pig. It won’t work and with each passing year it will continue to work less and less.
BTW, as I have mentioned before, you can’t deport Muslims even assuming this is a grand idea if you don’t first have Islam properly characterized by the vast majority of a Western society, including by the bulk of its Western elites, as the iniquitous belief system which it is. Putting the cart before the horse is never a good idea; it never works.

Yeah, because we all respect Cosby for his respect for women and his gentlemanly behaviour, don’t we?
It’s very revealing that they want to model their programme on the Cosby show.
Personally, I found that show to be sickeningly sentimental, the yuckiest, most unrealistic depiction of any family, black, white or no colour. Then Cosby got carried away with his own fiction and started writing books on how to be the perfect father – vomit-making.
But it all goes to show what a good actor he was, using that image of the good family guy to cover up the sexual predator he turned out to be.

Mirren10 says
There was a film made in England, called ”East is East”, about a mohammedan married to an Englishwoman, and their children, living in Salford. It purported to be a comedy, and whilst there were some funny bits, it also (unwittingly, I think) laid bare much of the horror of islam.
The film tried to show the children as rebelling against the strictness of the father, and their religion and ‘culture’ and there was a lot of PC/MC crap about ”it’s their religion, we have to be tolerant”. There’s also a scene in Bradford, which is basically down town Islamabad. And that was in 1999, it’s a hundred times worse now.
It was made in 1999. I didn’t know anything about islam then, but when I first saw it, I remember thinking what a bastard the father was, what a fool the mother was, and what a revolting religion islam must be.
If they do make a mohammedan sitcom, I really doubt they’ll be able to do so without, even inadvertently, laying out the horrors of this foul religion.
Panmelia says
Yep, that was exactly my reaction to this riotous comedy film, Mirren 10. Disgust, not only with the characters portrayed, but also with everyone involved it, because killings of unhappy daughters happen far too often in this country (a stain on our British honour – the genuine kind).
The title is ironic, perhaps unintentionally, being the first half of the saying “East is East and West is West, and never the twain can meet”. Truer than ever in these days when the full ugly face of islam is revealed to us as never before. Any Englishwoman who marries a mudslime is already committing an act of treachery and cruelty toward her children, as well as her culture.
Of course, its being a ‘comedy’ prevented any hint of reality about the barbaric treatment of disobedient daughters by their psychopathic fathers or even mothers. Not long after this film was made, a muslim couple held their daughter down on the sofa in their home while one stuffed a plastic shopping bag into her mouth and throat until she suffocated.
All this was witnessed by the other, younger children in the family, one of whom later testified in court many years later after a long investigation into the daughter’s disappearance. The murderous pair stuffed their daughter’s body into a trunk and her father and uncle (there’s always a nice uncle to help out, isn’t there?) buried her near a river bank some miles away. The body was found in an advanced state of decomposition and the parents arrested many times for questioning; of course they lied and denied and lied – oh, how they lied. What self-righteous indignation they displayed at being thought capable of this crime.
When the younger daughter turned Queen’s evidence, the vile pair were imprisoned for life. Let’s hope they die in jail. I’d have preferred to see them swing.
What had the daughter done? Resisted an arranged marriage in Pakistan. The poor girl was so desperate that she drank bleach, was taken to hospital and then taken back to Britain in disgrace where she was regularly beaten. No sooner had her injuries healed than they started on her again and finally murdered her.
Funny story, huh? – they should make THAT into a film about muslim family life.
Mirren10 says
panmelia says:

Yes, I remember that horrific case. Robert covered it in the article below.
”Funny story, huh? – they should make THAT into a film about muslim family life.”
Indeed. But they won’t. If they ever do make such a nauseating ‘comedy’, it will carefully ignore such things, and concentrate on racist jokes about bigoted ‘islamophobes’, and how their ‘bigotry’ was done away with by the delightful mohammedan family. Blech.

I just cringe when fiction becomes the panacea for reality and our fellow Americans fallin love and are enamored with non-existent fictional characters. They’ll believe that Huey over the documented facts of monsters blowing people up sorting them out by faith just like the the NAZIs beheading them making their intent crystal clear and THEN we have two that look and act like 2-Jokers in a deck of cards doing curtsies flips jumping over the candle stick to run defensive end and obscure that very clear impending threat. Then the media hos right in
We have truth on our side and a covert video of Friday Beheadings of Apostates in Saudi Arabia, dining of an adulteress and adulterer, throwing Gays from tall buildings extracting dead women from wells in the PAArea usually where they are found showing hangings of Apostates blasphemers in Persia should be enough to make many Americans throw up and question what our 2-Jokers are doing in DC

We have a good comedy in North Carolina that would qualify as a Muslim Commedy it’s called gender neutral restrooms. We could use a Muslim stand-in to play the man who wants to be a woman and since he wants to be a woman he has a constitutional right to use the lady’s restroom. The use of a Muslim would be a supverve comedic character. Just imagine this a “religion/theocracy” that defiles women as the primary residents of hell characterized by a man who wants to be a woman primarily for the opportunity to engage in pedophilia and voyagerism using American political correctness to engage his sick desires, he could even engage meetings with our president in the restroom. A good outtake could be the president engaging the Saudi prince and doing his face dance in the princes ctotch. The reviews of this ideocracy might be lost on the politically correct but for those who appreciate the depth of lunacy in America today it would be stupendous. To put this all in perspective simply use the following analogy for interpretation: if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s a damn duck. It ain’t peaceful, it ain’t peace loving, it ain’t friendly, it ain’t your friend. It is bent on destruction, it is a pedophile, it is a liar, it is bent on genocide, it is not correct, it is self serving, it isn’t

The Kumars was a riot in the funny sense:
Panmelia says
The characters depicted in the Kumar comedy are Hindus played by Hindu actors. Most Hindus deplore islime because they have suffered at its hands in India for centuries.
When India gained independence from Britain in 1947, the British Viceroy had to partition the country into Hindu India and mudslime East and West Pakistan (EP later became Bangladesh). There was a massive upheaval with millions of people travelling north and south to their designated countries. Attacks on trains led to their being awash with blood, literally spilling out of the doors.
There is still strife between the countries but if partition had not taken place, there may have been outright civil war.

Have to report on my native Australia again. We have our new sitcom called ‘Here come the Habibs’. It is surely the un-funniest comedy in the English speaking world. However some journalists actually adulate this riotously unfunny,politically correct drudge. You know there is the usual Romeo and Juliet story except no-one gets killed, a poor Lebanese family who win the lottery move to a wealthy harborside location to the original distress of the neighbors who learn to love them and you know the public servants are stage racists and stage ‘Islamophobes..So we in Australia already have our pro- Islamic humorists who aren’t to say the least very funny.

Right.
Dean says
Mormons, Jews, Baptists, and whites just to name a few are painted with a broad brush, why not Muslims? Oh wait, they are one of the self-anointed groups of the groups identity ideologues. How is this for a broad brush? For every Muslim jihadist there are a hundred sympathizers that any one of them at any time could decide that they are compelled to get active. Fundamental Islam is an ideology of conquest (as admitted or proclaimed daily by Mideast authorities) and for far too many that means the must conquer.

Katie Couric is a rich ignorant Democrat too dumb to understand how muslims us “tagiyya”, which gives muslims an open invitation to lie to anyone as long as it helps Islam.

Muslims use Sharia, Jihad, tagiyya and beheading to intimidate everyone. They cannot be allowed anywhere freedom is or wants to be they are anathema to freedom and peace. Deport and do not allow any more in if Sharia, Jihad, tagiyya, and Beheading are still in their Koran..

Muslim characters that are unrelated to national security are pure fiction, until the nation becomes Islaam.
I think the debate shows are more real.
Those Muslimis have so many problems, what with world domination an all, none of the other religions seen to have such heavy problems, except for the small problem of the Muslim invaders. Maybe it because of the deep spiritual teaching in the Qur’an.
Familiarization with evil might cause tolerance and acceptance of the evil, which may open flood gates to apologistic acceptance, leading to something terrible.
Islaam is no joke, it’s going nowhere except more.
There’s no solution.
