Is the US ready for 'Little Mosque on the Prairie'?

Show as tool or obstacle for diplomacy?

Quote: "Of course the show has not escaped controversy, but not always from the most obvious places.

Last year Wikileaks published a diplomatic cable from the US embassy in Ottawa to Washington warning that the programme was guilty of what it called "insidious negative popular stereotyping" of Americans in Canada.

This was thanks to satirical depictions of an over-zealous US border official on the show."
