A new series called “Who Speaks for Islam?” will kick off Saturday on Link TV (also available to be screened online at linktv.org/whospeaksforislam) and it features a particularly relevant second episode titled “Muslims on Screen,” with interviews and clips of television series that have attempted, with varying degrees of success, to portray Muslims.
Hosted by NPR’s Ray Suarez, the panel discussion has its kick-off segment, “What A Billion Muslims Really Think” on Saturday at 7 p.m. (PT) and repeating Tuesday at 8:30 p.m. If you get DirecTV (channel 375) or Dish (channel 9410), you can see it as it airs, or you can use The Chronicle’s updated online TV page to see if the series is available on your cable carrier. Barring that, you can watch it online at the above link for Link TV.
ps. And have some delicious Dean’s Beans coffee while you are watching this series. I am not in any way affiliated with them but I am a customer and I just saw that they sponsored LinkTV programming which is always Muslim friendly. Deans is a very socially conscious business and their prices are reasonable. Great coffee and hot chocolate too. Support Muslim friendly businesses.
