The series, which premieres in November, tracks "very distinct lives that often times challenge the Muslim stereotype," according to the release.
Characters include a pair of tight-knit sisters, one of whom wears a traditional Islamic headscarf and one who sports piercings and tattoos and has recently married an Irish Catholic man who is converting to Islam.
Another character is a consultant to big auto manufacturer and struggles to strike a balance between work and raising a modern Muslim family, according to the TLC release.

When do we get a show about American Catholics, Minnesota Lutherans, or Miami Jews?

How about a Survivor type reality gameshow, pitting different religions against each other in bug-eating and mud-wrestling contests?

Lets see now, the story is.....dau marries a catholic who is converting to Islam. All is happy in family. Now, if the story was the dau marries a catholic and is converting to catholicism, would they show dear ol dad going berserk and doing the honorable thing by cutting off her head? It would be a short-run show - one episode and lost of reruns. If your offended, sorry about that.
