Islam on Tap
Release Date: Feb 27, 2008Things are going well in J.J. and Rayyan's courtship, that is until J.J. learns that Rayyan has had a couple of traditional western dates in her life, which is not traditional in Muslim culture. These past dates scare J.J. since he never has dated in any sense. What's worse for J.J. is that Rayyan has mementos of these past "indiscretions" that she keeps in a shoe box. This shoe box may be the end of J.J. and Rayyan's relationship. Amaar inadvertently helps them over this hurdle. Meanwhile, Sarah agrees to participate in a fund raising talent show. Having taken lessons as a child, she decides to do a tap dance routine. Both Rayyan but especially Baber think she shouldn't because dancing in front of the opposite sex is considered lewd and thus un-Muslim. Baber further believes Sarah is setting a bad example for Layla. However Layla uncovers some evidence that makes Baber change his tune. Baber does change his tune - he thinks Sarah shouldn't do the dance because he finds out she's an awful tap dancer. Now all Baber needs to do is convince Layla how bad Sarah really is and not to expose the secret she lords over him. Elsewhere, Yasir is off to Dubai for a couple of weeks to work on a project with J.J.'s father. While Yasir strives to pack the perfect carry-on luggage, Amaar arranges for a bon voyage card to be signed by all Yasir's friends. The card signing process ends up being more difficult than Amaar could have ever imagined. Duncan has an especially difficult time with this task. Yasir's packing is more successful but it is all for not when he reaches the airport. Yasir's resulting problems at the airport he can thank Duncan for.
