Like I suspected, they picked the most middle class/educated/western
Muslims in Dearborn. Most of the women on the show don't even wear a
head covering, and look VERY secular. VERY non-religious. That IS NOT
representative of many parts of Islam. NOT even representative of
several parts of Dearborn.
I suspect TLC, (and much of the liberal media), don't want to rock the
boat, and want to make "American" Islam look different than Islam in
other parts of the world. When that just isn't true with many Muslims.
They cherry picked the people they wanted to show not to scare anyone.
I think it's good to see some ordinary "American" Muslims, who are
westernized.
But, they don't do the subject justice, by not showing the "other half"
of Islam. If they did......it WOULD scare a lot of people into
realizing there ARE anti-American Muslims living, and working, in the
United States. And, would like nothing better than to try and CHANGE
it. To impose their religion, and Sharia Law on everyone.
