This series just went from my "must watch" list to my "don't bother" list.

Terry Roll, that's a good point but it's very unfortunate we are at this stage in the society in which the community relations are not as nice as before, especially the attitude towards Muslims, so this could have just increased the friction.
I think more should be done to increase dialogue between the communities, I've even seen the Muslims more willing than some of the so-called educated thinkers, who just sit back and give their profesional advice on BBC and CNN.
Just to give an example. How many of us have actually asked the Muslim women why she covers or why they dresses in certain way, or even found out about their beliefs?
