I’ve spent my entire career trying to help non-Muslims in the West understand Islam as a religion, a culture and an ideology. My first book, No God But God: The Origins, Evolution, and Future of Islam, became an international bestseller. The Jeffersons and Good Times and All in the Family – these sitcoms taught us what America was and what America believed. A few years ago, I stopped putting all my energy into books and lectures, stopped appearing on cable TV altogether, and instead began making TV shows. It’s the first network TV show to showcase the writing and acting of Afghans and Afghan Americans, and the only one telling their story.
