If you haven't yet watched Salam Cafe on Wednesdays at 10 (SBS) then next week is your last chance for a while. (Though in the way of modern things you can always download it on your pod).
It answers some important questions like "Do Moslems have a sense of humour?" "Are Moslems mindless robots who only think one thing?" "Do Islamic women subserviently keep quiet in the presence of men?"....All these questions are preposterous of course to anyone who knows the slightest thing about the diversity of Islamic culture, and about how settled Islam is (to the third and fourth generation) in this country.
These are highly intelligent, perceptive, constructive propagandists for a society more tolerantof Moslem Australians. God pray that they may be succesful.
Note: Semitic language scholars amongst you may note that the heading for this post is in Hebrew not Arabic...Sholem Aleichem...peace be with you! Salam Cafe always ends with this greeting in Arabic...Salam Allaychem....not much difference eh? Yes! I know I'm too smart for my own good!
