Little Mosque earns big honour

CanWest News Service
Published: Wednesday, October 10, 2007

(CNS) -- Little Mosque on the Prairie, the quirky CBC series about a Muslim community living in a small, fictional Prairie town, has won an award for encouraging understanding and goodwill through humour.

The show's producer Mary Darling and its creator Zarqa Nawaz will be honoured on Nov. 6 with the Search for Common Ground award by a human rights organization of the same name.

The organization promotes collaborative problem solving, and has previously presented the same award to Nobel peace laureate Desmond Tutu and former U.S. president Jimmy Carter.

"This is a very humbling award to receive and it feels like a confirmation of our vision," said Darling in a statement. "We wanted to create a show that would allow people to laugh while hopefully breaking down stereotypes. We felt that comedy would be a great way to inspire people to dialogue together and to build understanding of each other no matter what their beliefs."

At the same Nov. 6 ceremony in New York, retired Canadian Lt.-Gen. Romeo Dallaire will also be honoured by the group with a lifetime achievement award for his efforts to stop the global use of child soldiers.
