Could there be a more telegenic ambassador for Islam?
Ali looks like a bollywood movie idol.

I think you are bring hard on Oprah’s audience Null. Montel? Maury? The View? Tyra? Wendy Williams? Yes. Sketchy.

Oprah’s audience tends to be interested in more than gossip and baby-mamas. The fact that middle-america housewives will read a book that humanizes Muslims has got to be a good thing. And that Oprah can recommend a book like this shows America has evolved a little since 2001.

economically a VERY good thing.
I expect Ali will grace her show with his presence, and start a raging epidemic of sheik fever that will sweep the country, doing great good to repair muslim/American relations.

Being on Oprah’s reading list – is that a good or a bad thing?

I’m pretty sure most of her audience is subliterate.
