Dearborn has one of America's largest Muslim populations and has the largest mosque in North America. Reality? TLC has announced it will début a new reality show in the fall, taking viewers inside the homes of five different Muslim-American families

In a statement TLC's general manager Amy Winter said: 'Inviting viewers into a world they might not otherwise experience.
'Through these families and their diverse experiences, we will explore how they blend their values and traditions with everyday life in America.
She added the programme would provide: 'Insight into their culture with care and compassion.'
The series - which will be released in November - is set to feature a range of characters including a set of sisters one of whom wears a headscarf while the other sports piercings and tattoos and is married to an Irish Catholic Islamic convert.
Other characters include: 'Recently married, Nadar and Nawal,' who are, 'having their first baby and trying to find the balance between their traditional Muslim roots and American culture.
'Mike, Deputy Chief for the Wayne County Sheriff’s Department, works tirelessly to educate the department about the Muslim religion in an effort to reduce discrimination and ignorance while his wife, an executive who works as a consultant to a major auto manufacturer, struggles to find the balance between work and raising a modern Muslim family.'

I could care less about watching a muslim TV show. I have enough problems with the Spanish shows.
yawn
“Boom-Boom....Out Go The Lights”! (With apologies to singer Pat Travers)!
How ‘bout, ‘The Man From I.S.L.A.M.’ or ‘All In The Mosque’.
The possibilities are endless given the hateful nature of the subject which is Islam and those miscreants who defend it whether they are followers of Mohammed or not.
Anyway, how about “Achmed the Dead Terrorist: Part II The Beginning”?
“Big Love is Not just for Mormons”
“Guess Who’s Coming for Ramadan”
Islam has made the world a truly dangerous place. Time for a little gallows humor I guess.

“yawn”... I’m with you 100%!
As an aside, my mother’s parents came from Castletown Bere, County Cork, Ireland. When they were children and teens (1890s) they not allowed to speak the Irish-Gaelic because of British Rule. When they emigrated from Ireland to the US around 1905, they willingly gave up their native language because they were so proud to be Americans.
My late mother and her siblings reminded their children that their Ma and Pa NEVER SPOKE A WORD of the Irish-Gaelic infront of them... only to each other in private conversation.
I, too, am sick and tired of the Bi-linqual English- Spanish crap and the Muslim invasion! And just today in the Raleigh News and Observer, an article on “Celebrate A Muslim Holiday - Ramadan Begins August 1st.” Sheesh!
Has to be done with actors and a political agenda-driven script - since no Real Muslim Wife’s husband would ever allow her to appear on on a TV show.
I hope your family didn’t lose the Irish-Gaelic language altogether.
My mother’s side is Ireland and France, but I know neither
language. Kinda wish they had kept it going through the generations.
And I do love potatoes. lol
I wish people would just respect coming here and the English language, but some have no respect for themselves, so...
Where were all these muslims before 11-9? I swear I did not see but maybe 2 people at the grocery store in the 80’s. Are we handing out visas by the thousands, with social security benefits? Guess so.
They use our SS like their piggy bank.
