TLC Reveals the Lives of `All-American Muslims'

A new and very different kind of reality show that will be premiering this Sunday night at 10pm (ET/PT) on TLC--one that is perhaps the flip-side of Sarah Palin's recent reality show--called All-American Muslim. (We'll be giving the show a full review the week after next, Nov 18th, after we look at the new Clint Eastwood-directed J. Edgar.)

We wanted to note the show's premiere in advance, as it covers the lives of five Muslim-American families in the seemingly-unlikely locale of Dearborn, Michigan, which has one of the highest per capita concentrations of Muslims in America, and is home to the largest mosque in the US.

According to the series release, "The families featured in the series share the same religion, but lead very distinct lives that often times challenge the Muslim stereotype. From getting married and the birth of a first baby, to juggling busy careers while raising a family, to managing sibling dynamics, All-American Muslim shows how these individuals negotiate universal family issues while remaining faithful to the traditions and beliefs of their faith. Through these families and their diverse experiences, we will explore how [these families] blend their values and traditions with everyday life in America."
