I used to love the Deen Show. I've watched some shows recently (actually I was watching the one you posted about a week ago) and can't believe how I didn't see just how superficial everything they say about Islam is. It's all about "worship to the One True Creator!" and that's all you need to know people.
I like Dean because he seems like a genuine guy who is just trying to do good, which is why one of the first things I did after I left Islam was to send him an email. I didn't expect him to answer, but I just pointed out that he should do some deeper research into Islam before trying to spread it and mislead people, and I added FFI as a place to look. He actually replied that same day, saying I should reexamine my decisions and worship the One True Creator, and attacking Ali Sina's character. He was still courteous in his response though.
Anyways, I would approve of the show if it was aimed at Muslims since at least it aims to be moderate and peaceful. It's definitely aimed at non-Muslims though, and as such I find it to be simply deceitful.
It's so obvious a lot of the time when Dean is interviewing Sheikhs that he tries to lead them to the "right" answer. I noticed this even before I de-converted, but I found it funny at the time. Now it really bothers me.
Like in this video...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQTHVJ68MCIApparently the ultimate proof to the fact that Muslims are supposed to be good to non-Muslims is that the Prophet lived among many Jewish tribes. I love how Yusuf Estes forgets to mention the massacres of said Jewish tribes
Their intro song IS kinda catchy, though
