Quoting azade: That program is offensive to anyone with a normal level of intelligence 
The concept of walking in another persons shoes in order to understand them is nice but it's clear that the program was made for all the wrong reasons and I feel offended by it |
Completely agree! Such a nauseating disgrace.

I thought the programme was really interesting,as a regualar viewer of the network this show was aired on i know the kind of stuff they make and they tend to like performing social experiments are someone else called it.They also did a 'God' season in which a professor in Britian spent about 6 or 8 programmes trying to disprove God,the Bible and everything else connected with it.Very interesting also.I did think the tile of the show is question 'make me a Muslim' was perhaps choosen in bad taste however i suppose they did it to get viewers.Hmm there are two sides to everything.

That's exactly what I'm thinking...they wanted to get viewers. That's understandable. But I'm really disappointed because the image they are portraying of islam is distorted and the public is already negative towards islam because of such horrible and unislamic beings as terrorists. Yeter artık!

Yes they do portray a very strict way of practicing Islam.So in that way it is distorted because not everyone practices in that way.The public view is Islam is not wonderful yes (in my experience anyway and i would not include myself in that obviously) but i would like to think that the programme makers were trying to educate people of tell them something about Islam even if it not exactly as everyone practices/interprets it.
If you watch all 3 programmes you will see that one of the people who takes part has quite negative views of Islam at the start and by the end he is much more accepting of it because he understands what its about to an extent.In that way it can be a useful tool for educating but only when taken with a lot of other sources and awareness that perhaps not everything you are being shown is exactly what goes on in actual Muslim's lives because obviously the situation they find themselves in is very artificial and won't be the same as actually being a person of that faith.

The main "guide" or what it is they call him doesn't seem to live according to islam even and I don't think any devoted muslims would approve of much they are doing in the program. What they do is just focus on the stuff everyone knows like no alcohol, no pork, when showing prayer it's the sujud position...there are so many signs that it's not a serious program. It doesn't look like they actually want to teach people anything about the essence of islam. At the beginning of the clip one of the participants may be wearing a cloth around her head but it's certaintly not hijab...so many things. I doubt the guide person is an actual imam.
It's great that oen of the participants changed their view a little but they are still showing a false imge of islam.
If they want to do it they should do it right

Quoting azade: Oh sorry i forgot it was in norwegian...but you can still see the video. Basically it's an author who decided to live by the bible for a year. When asked what the nicest part of it was he answered this: " 11 If two men are fighting and the wife of one of them comes to rescue her husband from his assailant, and she reaches out and seizes him by his private parts, 12 you shall cut off her hand. Show her no pity." Deuteronomy 25 
This is his website. |
Very interesting Azade...thanks for the link.

You're welcome  I thought it was pretty interesting as well.
Now I've watched those all the five clips on youtube and I've got to say they have chosen the absolutely worst people - a porn addicted beer lover and a stripper? They aren't exactly ordinary people...
thought Luke was a good sport for the most part though

Quoting catwoman: Quoting SERA_2005: channel 4 programme which is called 'make me a muslim' I don't know if anyone watched it but the idea of the show is to challenge non muslims to live as muslims for 3 weeks.With this in mind they were encouraging British women to wear the Hijab. |
This program sounds strange.  With all the problems with muslims in europe, they are encouraging Brits to become muslims and wear hijab, not the other way round . I wonder who's behind it! I bet it's the Saudi royal family. |
islam has never been bad ore scary but there are some persons(extreme persons) make it look like it is encourging vilonce and hate, but islam is like light (nur) that can't anyone hide coz it comes from allah.

the tv programme didnt show islam as a terrorist religion, but opposite it shwoed it a very soft version.
the imam tried to show it more westernised way, you sure know that muslims arent that soft and patient in real.
the british convert has shown her "great" patience toward the new comers.
the true islam is in saudi arabia
the true islam would never be able to co-exist with the western pattern of freedom and democracy.
im also so disappointed that TV didnt show the real islam in its own backward traditional essense.
