Aa,
If anyone wants to view it try a search on u tube.
Seems to me there's good and not so good in it. I admire the creativity and the aim to reach people who might not otherwise come to islam through conventional means. There's a lesson in that for us, I think, which is to speak to people in their own language, as indeed the prophet (pbuh) did, quite literally.
The risk we run is that we become so eager to appease that we lose our principles. If this show is not entirely accurate and islamic, well that's a mistake, but the root idea to me seems a good one.
Just my opinion - not a scholarly one or anything!

I thought you all didn't watch tv,,thought you believed that was a sin
As Salaamu Alaykum
"Hello? Is this terrorist attack hotline?" "We can use the laundry room to wash and shroud the dead bodies" "Hello you've reached Yasir's constructing and contracting...we'll blow away the competition". ROFL! I LOVE this show! Common guys, lighten up. This is an entertaining way to show Islam and the Xenophobia of some non-Muslims.
:salam2:
Hmm, isnt it kinda strange that we resort to watching non-Muslims pretending to be Muslims pointing out the mistakes some Muslims make?
If we as Muslims wish to make a better impression or make people understand Islam, it is very simple. Learn and live Islam properly.
That show I have seen and it isnt even funny. Maybe at first it is funny, but then it gets irritating and boring!! You dont feel any connection to the actors either. I dont want to see a polytheist Hindu playing a Mosque comittee member or an Imam anyway.... and they like ALL the other Shows dont show the prayer properly.............`and this is something done deliberately. I.e. people will have massive gaps between each other and they will not do the parts of prayer properly.
Also, Muslims must know that the most effective Da'wah is that which is based upon Quran and Sunnah, the first call should be the call to Tawheed.
Wasalam.
I think this video is a little.... stange?
They are Non-Muslims pretending to be Muslims and this "Imam" for example shakes the hand of a woman...
