As an American, you can't (currently) watch it on network TV. However, if you have a computer, you can downlaod off of... well, obviously I can't say exactly where but you can pretty much get it from any BitTorrent site.

I don't think this would be a problem as long as it was done in a respectful humours way. If they made the muslims terrorists then it would cause a problem. But if they made them ordinary people trying to live as muslims in society it wouldn't be a problem. In fact, I bet a lot of muslims (at least in the US) would watch such a show. Much like Latinos like to watch shows about Latino families and African Americans like to watch shows about African Americans. But again it all comes down to the show being tactful and not spiteful.

Well, as ordinary as "ordinary people" get on sitcoms. Naturally, situation comedies exaggerate their characters to the point of caricature in order to emphasize the comedy. They certainly aren't terrorists although they are commonly mistaken as such (at least, in the premiere episode...).
