A Program that Broke Barriers?

The CBC television program "Little Mosque on the Prairie" is advertising another year on TV with the ad 'The little program that broke barriers'. It is always a good idea to have a storyline that helps in understanding other cultures and religions. People need to know that there are Muslims who live ordinary lives and that only a few are the "terrorists" of the news channels. There are Muslims who are nice, ordinary people living all across Canada. "Little Mosque on the Prairie", in that sense, did break barriers and is to be commended. The Muslims in the small, prairie town are nice, ordinary Canadians who just happen to be Muslims. But my question is, "Why is the Anglican minister such a jerk?" Surely someone who decided to become an Anglican minister (or any Christian minister or priest) did not do so because of the glory or the remuneration as they don't get much of either. Why then did Rev. Thorne study many years to become a minister? Shouldn't he know something about Christian teachings? We don't ask that he be perfect but does he have to be the most selfish, self-centered, rude and thoughtless person on the face of the earth?. Is that breaking down barriers or building them? How is the program presenting Christianity? The Muslims in the story are not perfect but the Imam, comes pretty close. Remember June Cleaver? She was Beaver's wonderful Mom, the Mom everyone wanted to have, on the 50's show, "Leave it to Beaver". The young and handsome Imam in "Little Mosque on the Prairie" is the modern and male equivalent: always trying to be kind, always having good advice, always fair and always doing the right thing in the end.
Let's have a bit of fairness (and reality) here. Muslims have the freedom to worship in Canada. Christians are still waiting for the equivalent in Saudi Arabia. But in the meantime, lets at least have an Anglican minister in the program who is a bit more realistic - not perfect - just what you would find in real life. Then you might be able to say you are breaking down barriers. I don't watch it anymore.
