Little Mosque on the Prairie: CBC Television

Teaching Islam? The CBC series, Little Mosque on the Prairie, is an excellent sit-com about Muslims in a fictional town in Mercy, Saskatchewan. It features a young Imam who has just moved to the town and confronts many stereotypes in a humorous way.

Not all episodes are suitable for the classroom but a few certainly are and help students to see Muslims as ordinary citizens. Here's the 20 minute first episode which aired in 2006.  You'll meet the town's new Imam, Amaar Rashid.
