...which brings him into contact with Janet Hartigan (Sarah Jessica Parker), to whom he once gave a bad grade, but who is unaccountably willing to forget and forgive - a process he does not make easy for her.

As an American-born Muslim, it's easy for me to follow these values - just as easy as it is for my husband and his friends to gather together to watch the Super Bowl: just sketch in some beards, insert a prayer break and delete the alcohol. (The legal drinking age is one American law that Muslims disregard completely - Islam prohibits alcohol consumption, at any age.) Such strict rules, to some, are a sign of extremism, and so are the beards - to some, our five...
