Muslim Heidi

Having just watched another Americanized "War of the Worlds" I have some appreciation of the reasons people are tempted to make foreign stories local and why it is usually a bad aesthetic choice to do so. But then Toronto stands in for so many American cities on television that foreign programming often seems strangely familiar.

A minister responded yesterday to the offending revisionists: “If you like Heidi, don't try to Muslimize her; write your own Heidi book."

Quite right.
