'Halal in the Family' will expose a broad audience to some of the realities of being Muslim in America. By using satire, we will encourage people to reconsider their assumptions about Muslims, while providing a balm to those experiencing anti-Muslim bias. I also hope those Uncles and Aunties out there will crack a smile!

Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
Rumi
In acting, there's a type of courage you're recognized for all the time. You lose 100 pounds and play a guy with AIDS, and you get rewarded. But, in life, doing what is courageous is quiet, and no one knows about it. Courage is someone making sacrifices for their family or making selfless decisions for what they hope or feel.
Rob Lowe

Mark Twain
Joy is prayer; joy is strength: joy is love; joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.
Mother Teresa
I try to show the public that chemistry, biology, physics, astrophysics is life. It is not some separate subject that you have to be pulled into a corner to be taught about.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The thing that makes you exceptional, if you are at all, is inevitably that which must also make you lonely.
