Trivia / Little Mosque on the Prairie

• Fake Nationality: Few of the Arab characters are played by actual Arabs.
  • Fairly well averted in the main cast, though. The nine main characters consist of four white people, a Nigerian, an Indian, two Arabs, and one half-white/half-Arab. Only Italian-British Carlo Rota as Lebanese-Canadian Yasir is playing across race.
  • Arlene Duncan, who plays Nigerian Fatima, is a native Canadian of African American and West Indian descent
  • Canadian Colin Mochrie plays the Scottish Archdeacon Gladwin.
• Real-Life Relative: Debra McGrath (Mayor Popowicz) is married to Colin Mocrie (Archdeacon Gladwin)
