    Fatima's swim suit

    Now if Fatima had come out in a bikini, that might have been offensive, but the cartoon shows her respecting her faith. So why not publish it? I don't understand the reason.

    The Canadian Broadcasting Corp. has just shot a second season of "Little Mosque on the Prairie," a comedy about a group of Musilms in rural Saskatchewan and their adventures, which I think is very funny, and which does poke gentle fun at Muslims as well as Christians and others. (See the show's description on the CBC's website, the link for which Salon prefers I not post.) I do wonder if any television networks in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave will pick it up.
