There is a time and a place for mercy killing and this one is long overdue:

CBC’s ground-breaking show Little Mosque on the Prairie draws to a close Monday night, remaining true to the “ordinary folks” portrayal of Muslims it has practised from the outset.

When the show debuted in 2007, it drew attention to the then-radical idea of showing Muslims living in a Western society in a TV sitcom. The show was created by a Muslim woman, Zarqa Nawaz, who spoke to the New York Times, the BBC and media outlets around the world about her concept for the show.

Little Mosque never managed to extricate itself from the mire of cringingly humourless political correctness and would not have been aired at all were not for the yearly $1.5 billion the CBC receives from taxpayers.

I understand that most of Little Mosque’s fan mail comes from Anglican clergy.
