On July 2nd and 9th, Alhurra Television took an in-depth look at religion in America through its critically acclaimed documentary series Americans. The two-part series on religion examines the country’s foundation on freedom of religion and how it has grown as a pluralist society, accepting of many different faiths and cultures. The series also highlights the challenges faced by different religions, as well as interfaith initiatives that occurred following the terrorist attacks on Sept 11th. The following people were among those interviewed for Americans:

• Joel Osteen, Pastor of Lakewood Church
• Rev. Barry Lynn, Executive Director, Americans United for Separation of Church and State

Recent episodes of Americans have profiled Native Americans and Arab-Americans. The newspaper Al Hayat described the Arab-Americans episodes as “an accurate documentary based on solid, objective research deserving of appreciation. The series focuses on Arab American society, exploring its conditions and hopes and pains with evident professionalism…This series is an attempt by Alhurra to present the history and reality of the Arab Americans. It refutes allegations circulated by the ideological Arab media that the Arab Americans are persecuted, mistreated, and discriminated against.”
