"All-American Muslims Debate: How Do You Feel About Muslims Living in the US?" airs on

Melanie, a guest in the audience, says she opposes TLC show's "All-American Muslims" because she says it's a "whitewash of what Islam is." In this clip from Thursday's show, she explains her opinion and tells Anderson that she also believes you can't be a good Muslim and a good American.

Nader, a Muslim-American and one of the stars of TLC's reality show, "All-American Muslim," responds to Melanie's opinion...

"It's an opinion. Everyone's entitled to their opinion. If you ask me, I believe I'm a great American. Because of the tragedy of 9/11 it influenced me to get a job with the Federal government, and now my duties as an American are to protect my family and also to protect the well-being of everyone here in this audience."
