No one on the set wondered if Couric was being reckless in taking the idea that many Americans had — that a mega-mosque two blocks from the hole of Ground Zero was insensitive and should merely be located somewhere farther away — and wildly extrapolating that with “seething hatred” of “1.5 billion Muslims worldwide.”
“I know that sounds crazy,” she said, “But The Cosby Show did so much to change attitudes about African-Americans in this country, and I think sometimes people are afraid of what they don’t understand—like you, Mo.” She was referring to Daily Show veteran and NPR regular Mo Rocca, who was present for the discussion. A Harvard alumnus, Rocca shamefully confessed that despite having attended “really fancy schools,” he knows basically “nothing about Islam.”
The two then “totally agree[d]” that “religion should be taught as an academic subject in public schools.” A funny solution, given that Rocca had just admitted-slash-joked that even his expensive private schooling had been insufficient.
There is only one problem with a Muslim version of the Cosby show, how long would the show really last after Sondra, Denise, and Vanessa Huxtable are offed because of honor killings?
