Actually, it will because all of the Canadian characters are portrayed as jackasses.

Confirming feedback from today's National Post:

Letter to the Editor:
Published Friday, January 12, 2007

As a Christian born and raised in the Middle East, I was painfully embarrassed by the first episode of Little Mosque on the Prairie. The characters in the show -- Muslim and non-Muslim alike -- were such cardboard cut-outs. The Muslims in the show were certainly not like the Muslims I grew up with. The ones I knew were not exactly renowned for their sense of humour. Yet in the CBC fantasy world, all Muslims are easy-going and fun-loving, and wouldn't hurt a fly while the Christian residents of the town of Mercy came across as a horde of knuckle-dragging, uptight Islamophobes.
