Katy Couric Says, ‘Maybe We Need a Muslim Version of ‘The Cosby Show’

[You know she's not the only one who has thought of this. So why we don't have a Muslim Cosby show or Will and Grace yet .... to enlighten us ..... I'm guessing the problem for the entertainment media is how do you do it without offending Muslims? The wrong joke or situation and you'll have fatwas and death threats on your hands ..... that would present a problem for the message. ]

......
“Maybe we need a Muslim version of ‘The Cosby Show.’ . . . I know it sounds crazy, but ‘The Cosby Show’ did so much to change attitudes about African-Americans in this country and I think sometimes people are afraid of things they don’t understand.”

Of the many layers of stupid in Couric’s comment, the first that comes to mind is this: Is the real problem America’s attitudes toward Muslims, or rather is the real problem Muslims’ attitude toward America?
