Little Mosque on the Prairies isn't available on Netflix. At least in DVD format it's not available. Keeps pulling up Little House... instead. I for one just can't sit still and watch most all movies and TV shows. Music, I could listen for hours. And books, I have to be in a mood for it. Mood for reading last for several months and it goes away without warning for several months at a time.

I don't think a woman wearing hijab in US will be safe. So many loonies around.

Would agree and not when the gun laws in U.S. are different (though I realize there are variations across states) compared to Canada. Because they are.

Little Mosque on the Prairie gentle comedy series, is now syndicated in several different countries. The federal Canadian govn't has committed to screen and accept up to 25,000 Syrian refugees over the next few months. About several hundred just arrived at our city. Canada accepted 60,000 Vietnamese (boat) refugees in 1979. I was a university student in my 2nd year in a German-Mennonite based city (of Kitchener-Waterloo).

The rest is history, where now many are working, having careers, etc. There problems of adjustment where some fall into crime, mental illness. Just like the rest of us here where our families have been in North America for generations.

Guess what I was thinking at that time of international crisis was: How can people distinguish between those of Chinese, Japanese, Korean descent from other East Asians? The height of fear was great at that time in the press combined with those who wanted to help.
