Muslim Families just like the Huxtables

From Eric Dondero:

Recently, Katie Couric suggested that the way to combat bigotry against Muslims in the US was to have a show modeled after the '80's Cosby Show. Now Cosby himself has warmed to the idea.

From the Boston Herald, "Bill Cosby down with plan for Muslim ‘Cosby Show'" Feb. 16:

“I like her idea,” The Cos told The Track. “I think you could very well teach and people could understand. I do feel that whenever I have gotten to meet people who are coming from different countries that may have been Muslim, I do know that they say they love ‘The Cosby Show.’ And then they ask me, ‘You know why? Because it’s about family.’ ”

Couric floated the idea on her webcast, suggesting that someone create a sitcom that follows an American Muslim family the way Cosby’s ’80s sitcom about Dr. Heathcliff Huxtable and his family chronicled upwardly mobile African-Americans.

From an interview on Washington, DC radio station WTOP on Saturday:

“I’m not worried about white people... [Sean] Hannity – I’m not worried what he says, ” [Bill] Cosby said.

Cosby went on to praise Obama as a wonderful inspiration for a "Black America."
