I wanted to share this here. I also shared this on the discussion board, but wanted to be sure everyone got a chance to at least watch a couple episodes.
This show address many misconceptions westerners may have about Muslim women. Well, at least it addressed many things I had questions about.
One of the main characters is a Muslim women who is also a feminist. She offers us an glimpse at what it is like to deal with things like Hijabs, Birkas, prayer barriers, and other Islamic ideas that are sometimes viewed as oppressive to women. She offers us a cross-cultural example of both a western Canadian born Muslim women. the show centers around her family and their experiences within the small mosque. But it's very cute and family friendly, as well as comical. Babar also gives us the extremist satire most of us use to define Islam. You can very clearly see the Islam and Islamist individuals.
Enjoy :)
