I have seen 3/4 of it, very sad and true about the muslims living in so called "Free land" it reminded me of the day i declared my Islam to my collegues and one of them turned around and said "so when will you be using the planes again so I can stay away from you?"

Was it any good?? I was gonna watch it but fell asleep...

Sorry nadia i cant help you out much there, i only saw up until the first break. What i saw was basically about a young muslimah who wore hijab around her family. When she went to work, which was out of her area, she immediately whipped off her islamic attire and carried on going about in western dress. While also indulging in haram things like smoking, going to a pub (but not drinking alcohol), and i think dating an english fella. I gather the main story line was about terrorism and she or family were implicated in some way shape or form??

I actually decided to stop watching because it was yet another negative portrayal of our religion. They are just adding fuel to fire.

Ignorant people are not worth your time or effort. If they chose to consider you in the same light as terrorist simple because of your devotion to religion then leave them be. Think of Karma, what goes around comes around

Usual portrayl of the poor muslim underdog being forced into wearing these hideous clothes, married off to her cousin in Pakistan at the age of 12 and having to walk 3 steps behind her husband.... I used to be really pleased when I saw something relating to muslims or Arabs was on TV, but it's all the same crap.

And has anyone noticed how whenever there is ANYTHING about muslims on TV, it always focuses on Asians??

The documentaries about Ramadan for example - all with Asian families in Leicester.

A patient in Casualty - always an Asian girl called Fahima Khan who ran away and fell down a well to escape her arranged marriage cos she wanted to be with Chris from the chipshop.

A murder victim in the bill - always an honour killing about an Asian called Fatima who mysteriously disappeared after a holiday to Pakistan...

Come on TV bosses, get with the programme!
