Salam Cafe

Topic started by subroto on May 14, 2008 7:32:13 am

A new show on SBS TV by young aussie muslims. There are gags about Muslims flying on one-way tickets, owning mobile phones with extra room on the SIM card and playing footy for the Essendon Bombers.

Have you seen an American Sit Com based on Muslim boy coming as Exchange Student from Pakistan via England.Coming diretly from Pakistan would be more freaky.its also attempt to defuse emotionally charged stereotyping of muslim /pakistan post 9/11.
Its on the other hand does stereotype as hollywood has always done is ,"how can you live without all the goodies we have"Its called ALIEN

how about the part where he says people should be happy muslims are asking the council...it's not that funny, because that is exactly how anglos see it. i'd expected more subversion than her hijabs go halfway round the world:?
