In short, Channel Four's tacky race for ratings has presented a gift to Islamophobes, who will only have their prejudices reinforced rather than challenged."<BR/><BR/>I disagree and think you are missing the point or perhaps obscuring it. The show did not depict Muslims themselves as being alien to liberal and progressive values. It showed that Islam was alien to progressive and Liberal values. The show was about the religion and not Muslims themselves. Sadly the people who were chosen to partake in it also were consistently shown in a poor light; i.e. you would have to be some kind of exhibitionist floozy or hard drinking slob not to want to be a Muslim.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11249817220736089013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486641877026778105.post-4021406679652086332008-01-17T07:06:00.000+00:002008-01-17T07:06:00.000+00:00this is the best explaination of the show so far. ...this is the best explaination of the show so far. i was really disappointed at the choice of imams (except the main one of course) but how could you have a tacky reality TV show that wouldn't be used to create as much anger in the contestents towards islam...and thus the public.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
