:sl:

Sheikh Sulayman was the best too i think :)

AssalamuAlaykum

That young gay gentleman surprised me today! *grin*
 
^ ya bless his pink socks

but i was hopin someone would convert they didnt . . .
 
:sl:

You guys are fast! People in Harrogate seem to be quite intolerant atleast the ones they approached, I hope its not representing the majority there. I agree with you guys though, some things definately needed better explaining. I missed yesterdays show, what happened to the model girl?

Sis Ayesha I think you may be talking about Hayley. I see potential in her and Luke. It would be interesting to see follow ups, to see if the 3 weeks actually had an impact on their lives.
 
^ beautifull signature sis

"smile its sunnah"

:D

yeah lol i hope they do a catch up on their lifes

lol i dont know any of their names so bare with me, i didnt like the girl that was the muslim guy, she was just arrogrant and ignorant pssshh

and the pub boy, in the endin he turned out ok :D

we want more programs like that ....
 
i knew someone would start this thread before me

but its no suprise since im not on here 24/7 like SOME members(chacha jee) lol.not that thats a bad thing

i watched all three.

and i agree, explaining islamic matters could have been a bit better.
i found myself formulating versions of exaplnations i thought would have been better and and then accidently shounting them out.
my family were not pleased.they wanted me to shut up and let them watch it in peace :D


i think i liked luke alot

gay people are jusr so nice lol,:hmm: not what they do in their spare time..just their personality, very gentle and understanding of everybody.and i felt so sad when he was sobbing his heart out at his fathers grave.

karla was just a moan alot and i loved the way dawn finally slagged her off and told her to "get over it" lol.

phil.....lord that man needs to be whipped.he was just SO stubborn.i would have given him one tight slap if he had spoken to me the way he did to dawn....dawn has lot of patience.

and omg the african imam guy.they chose him on purpose, but he was funny.he put phil in his place
and also it was hilarious how Allah punished phil cuz he was too stuck up to eat the iftari food.he found the pub not serving food, had to stay hungry for longer and then heat a cold spud in the end.LOLLZ

Just watched some of it now...all I can say is that it's a Stupid show. Yes, Stupid with a capital s.

Never trust a 'reality' TV program.

Man, it insults my intelligence to even sit and watch crap like this! :anger:

Assalam o Allikum, how did it offend you? just curious.. i thought the show was really intresting... maybe not completely informative.. but it still gave an insight to how non-muslims viewed islam befor and after their experiences and most of the people came out of the show with a positive outlook on islam...
Especially where i live, i believe it showed how 'ignorant' some people are of islam and this was only a 'taster'

It's silly. Dead silly. It's not a documentary worth watching...it's seriously just a bunch of people putting on a show for the camera. The main purpose of it is entertainment, not education.

It reminds me of other stuff like Big Brother, which I detest.

The imams may have noble intentions, but this is definitely not the right platform for Islam to be explained to the masses.

Channel 4 is looking for something 'new' and 'shocking' that will get just get ratings.

Nothing worth watchin...

Assalam o Allikum
i do agree with you, but also on the other hand.. i also believe that when your trying to explain islam to non-muslims ( like the ones dipicted in the show ) it is necesary to take 'baby steps' .
But i do agree with you on the issues you mentioned... but then isnt everything on TV based on gettign ratings and entertainment?
i dont believe the show insulted islam. and i really dont think it was anything like 'big brother' - which has no respect for anything... anyhows... good points good and bad..
 
sho was gud but sum parts of it reali jus wound d hel outta me!! dat fat cow wit dat Ash, sum of the stuf she sed, its like no1ns FORCING u to do it!!

d gay guy was gud

d fat dude dat kept goin2 d pub wound me up bits

but yh sho was gud-------------------->:thumbs_up
 
because of this thread, i watched it last night. i have to agree with alpha dude.
the most interesting thing to me was the gay guy - he seemed the most open minded.
i thought it was funny how the people volunteered to live like this for 3 weeks and yet they found it sooo hard to do. i mean, how hard can it be to make these changes for 3 weeks? they seemed like minor things to me.
 
I think certain bits were to be excluded from the show. For example tid bits from their life before this programme. Tying to watch it with my dad, my mum, and my 13 years-old sis who seems to know way more than I knew at the age, was pretty tough. I had to keep on changing channels and going red every ime "dodgy" bits popped in. They pixelated the bits but the kids know what its hiding. It doesn't help much.

The programme was way too confusing. One moment I see a member condemning Islam, and the next, they're saying what a wonderful religion it is. And I just sat there and thought: "What the chocolate?".

But I must say, the best person out of the lot was Luke. I loved it when he went to the party and yet he took time out to pray. I found his reading of the surah Fatihah quite cute.

The mentors except Ajmal were all crap at presenting Islam properly. When talking about homosexuality, I found Suleyman saying that it just isn't accepted in Islam. He didn't bother explaining properly why it wasn't allowed.

Reasoning with Phil, the athiest, the other Imaam started to quote the Bible. For God's sake, he's not preaching christianity here. And Phil isn't likely to take it as a reason because he's an athiest. Sheesh.

Gah. Not an excellent programme, though it's an ice breaker as it quite didn't present Islam as badly as the media usually does.

Ah, but I dont' think he even got the spud in the end as Ajmal offered it to the others on the table before Phil arrived because it was 'spare'!

:w:
 
I think the show shouldnt have been called 'Make Me A Muslim' because from what i can gather, It was an insight into the day to day life of a Muslim in the hope that non-muslims could get past the whole 'Muslims are strange/bad people' stereotype that does exist in alot of western minds and societies. I dont think the aim of the show was to convert anyone... and I saw the finale and I dont think anybody did convert. I was suprised that the Christian woman who was engaged to the Muslim Brother didnt embrace Islam, as she seemed to be the one who had the most reason and she seemed to almost be practicing.

I really didnt like the part of the show where the gay man called the Imam to his house and then began a barrage of silly questions and before he could be answered began calling the Imam 'narrow minded' (if memory serves me well).

I also didnt like one of the women who said... "They are giving us these tasks to break us down" as though the Muslims taking part in the show had some underhanded brainwashing tactics at the ready, which they obviously didnt.

Overall, Ive seen a similar show which im sure you all know about, "30 Days" which did a show about Muslims in America, I much prefered this show because the participants were given more explanations into what they were actually doing...

Also one thing confused me about 'Make Me A Muslim', The gay man... I dont know fully the rules, But I do know Muslims arent allowed to be gay, Im sure thats Haram right? So if that man had become Muslim, would he have been a gay Muslim? or a former gay man who is now Muslim? Cos Im thinkin he doesnt have much choice as to his sexual preference, so the whole finding him a wife thing would have been folly in my eyes...

Anyways, What do you guys think? (BTW Sorry for my long-windedness, once I start to type my fingers get carried away lol)
