Storyline

Yasir has rented space in the local church under the guise of using it as an office for his construction business, but really is using it as an Islamic mosque for the local Muslim community in addition. This act coincides with the arrival from Toronto of Amaar, who Yasir hired as the new Imam to replace Baber, deemed too orthodox in his views.

The dialog is read with such a monotone voice and void of any emotion that you can't figure out exactly where the joke is , plus even if you get the joke it is delivered in a bland way that doesn't induce laughter.

People expect the LMOTP will be axed very soon because the ratings

were fudged and now the real viewing numbers are about 1/4 of the first debut.
