With Katie Couric's suggestion for a "Cosby" like television show in America to help the bigots understand Islam, the Canadian show "Little Mosque on the Prairie" was identified as a Canadian show that does just that.

Watch the clip - take the poll.

 
Watched it a bit when it first came out a few years ago

It was rather boring

Trailer Park Boys was more entertaining
 
It's interesting that the rise of anti-islamic feeling in America didn't happen until Barack Obama became president.
 
:rofl

Too ridiculous to give serious thought. . . whatever sells for entertainment, right?

The Cosby show was awesome - my absolute fav show as a kid! :) "I brought you into this world . . . and I'll take you out!"
 
I haven't watched the show. So I can not pick an option. The title alone sounds like a boring show mixed in with some liberal social and political commentary,but I haven't watched the show so I do not know.

Albert, you have no say in where or when I post. Just because I demonstrated that you comment had zero validity, that's no reason for you to get all snarky. Just admit you were wrong and we can move on.

yeah - it does sound boring.

Reminds me of the Little House on the Prairie - of course .. . and immediately I recall hating that show when I had to watch it as a kid because it was my sister's favorite. . . so the title itself turns me away from wanting to see what it's about.

If they named it after that show then likely they've written it in the same style - total barfo

I think there is something most people are missing. In order to calm down the anti-islamic tendencies of the majority of Americans reassurance must come from someone who is clearly on our side.

George Bush was a nice man who should have run a deli instead of being president. But there was never any doubt that he jumped out of bed each and every morning with the intent of killing those who would kill us.

When GWB said Islam was the religion of peace, he had a calming effect on them because they knew he was on their side.

That isn't true with Obama. There is no confidence he is on our side.

Remember the principle. Only Nixon could go to China. Only Bush could reassure Americans.

LBJ could never have gone to China, and Obama can't reassure the majority.

How can President Bush have calmed down the anti-Islamic tendencies of the majority of Americans if the rise of anti-Islamic feeling in America didn't happen until President Obama took office?

If it wasn't for my horse, I'd never have spent that year in college.

The tendencies have always been there. The manifestation of the tendencies didn't start until your president took office.
 
If they didn't manifest until Obama took office, then how could Bush have calmed them down?

:lol:

Hooooooooooooooo, boy.
 
I don't think it matters, because I disagree with what seems to be your underlying argument.

I don't think that Americans need to be led by the hand away from blind hate by anyone -- much less the President. This is not the world's largest classroom, and the President is not the world's best-protected teacher.

I think the haters need to behave like, well, adults.

Bush was able to quiet conservative feelings. Obama can't. Everyone is entitled to decide for himself or herself what behaving like an adult is. You have an opinion. Everybody is entitled to one.

But Obama is not able to do anything to tap down the feelings among a large group of Americans. There is no denying that. He can't tap it down because he can't speak to them.
 
Nope, sorry. I absolutely positively reject your assertion that the American people need to have their feelings quieted by a benevolent President-teacher figure.
