SHAHS OF SUNSET: Now, HERE'S a TV show about real 'All-American Muslims'

by barenakedislam

The SHAHS OF SUNSET is set in Beverly Hills and from what I've seen and heard, there will be no calls for a boycott of this show..... except from certain members of the Muslim community.

Debuts Sunday, March 11th, BRAVO TV 10:00 PM EST

The Daily Beast  Since the Islamic Revolution in 1979, hundreds of thousands of Iranians have immigrated to Los Angeles, giving the town the nickname "Teh-ran-geles." Many of them live in lavish apartments, drive fancy cars, and splurge on designer clothes. But Seacrest says he was less intrigued by Persian wealth than the community's close-knit ties. "The great thing about a show like this," he says, "is that it promotes something I believe in, which is friendship and family. We like shows about that."

The Shahs cast members have known each other since their days at Beverly Hills High School, and now that they are in their mid-30s, they still act like cliquish teenagers. GG, the girl who refers to herself as the Persian princess, nearly falls over in her Louboutins when she fires a gun at a shooting range. Mike (the guy with the abs) and Sammy (the guy with the belly) claim to be million-dollar real-estate moguls. MJ dotes on her two Chihuahuas—they have their own stroller and Facebook pages. Her gay best friend, Reza, loves Gucci, Prada, and the catchphrase "Hello, we're Persian!" Everybody picks on Asa. And yes, they scamper up and down Sunset Boulevard.
