NEW YORK (The Blaze/AP) –Back in July The Blaze reported that TLC network was launching a new reality television show about Muslim families living in the Detroit area. Now, that series is ending after just one season.
TLC spokeswoman Laurie Goldberg said Wednesday the “All-American Muslim” series won’t be back. Its eight-episode run ended in January.
“All-American Muslim” attracted attention when a conservative Christian group called for an advertiser boycott. At least two companies announced they were pulling ads. TLC says the protest caused a backlash in which new advertisers signed on.
One episode focused almost entirely on the conflicted feelings the show’s participants had about marking anniversaries of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, when Muslim extremists destroyed the World Trade Center and killed thousands of people.
After a strong start to the series, ratings faded. The series was considered a long shot to return.
Below is the official trailer for All American Muslim:
Below is a clip from the controversial 9/11 episode:

Posted on March 8, 2012 at 8:46amMany Americans educated themselves about Islam, Jihad, Sharia, Mohammed, and of course, their deity, Allah after 9/11.
The Jihad for America is faltering and no amount of dawa or Saudi money will trick the American people into submission to Allah, enshrined in Mecca; a deity unrelated to the God of the Bible.
9/11 which was supposed to take out the Twin Towers, The White House the the US Capitol, was a failure. The muslims will now seek to deliver an even more violent “call to submit”. No doubt they have been furiously planning since their Jihad attack of 9/11 failed to take out all the intended targets.
We need to start looking at this conflict for what it is. Because they are intransigent in their pursuit of their Islamic Empire, we can be assured that they will not stop. Ever.

Posted on March 8, 2012 at 9:29pmI agree Mike…they will never stop until every last one of them has been shuffle off this mortal coil (by whatever means necessary). A sad chapter of the second world war played itself out in the final year and it was our allies that had to deal with these people. What am I talking about ? The hilter youth and the SS that were gathered up eager to sacrifice themselves for the cause , some as young as 8 years old. Some Allied action reports tell of entire companies of these fanatics haveing to be wiped out to the last man because they would not surrender no matter what they faced. Thosuands of brainwashed youth were slaughtered by Allied soldiers, lots of SS divisions were equally difficult to deal with requiring the same all or nothing solution. In the end these radical jihadists will not be reformed, reasoned or cajoled into seeing the error of thier ways leaving only one viable outcome…it’s either us or them.

Posted on March 7, 2012 at 8:55pmIn “reality” there can be no such thing as an “American Muslim” because the religion of Islam precludes the so-called freedoms and rights that the so-called American Constitution supposedly enshrines. To the extent that someone is a true Muslim, they cannot be an American. Most Muslims are in total denial however as to what their religion is, they just pretend it is whatever they want it to be, and most modern people in the liberal West fall for that silly idea. So we are stuck for the time being with the absurd idea that Islam and America, or Islam and Western Civilization can coexist.
