UK Reality Show Will Feature Non-Muslims Living Under Sharia Law....

I hope the British pay attention to see what's like to live as a dhimmi, even if it's for only three weeks.  The first show will feature a segment on working with explosives and handling firearms.  After that it's on to persecuting other faiths and choosing the right four women to marry.  Stay tuned....

A CONTROVERSIAL reality TV show to be broadcast next month aims to challenge preconceptions about Muslims.

But the programme, which sees non-Muslims living under strict Sharia law for three weeks, could also reinforce some people’s intolerance towards Islam.

One participant accused Imams featured in the three-part series of being prejudiced towards her and said she experienced “animosity” from them.

Film maker Narinder Minhas chose the affluent market town of Harrogate in North Yorkshire for his bold experiment . . . a place that is home to just 311 Muslims in a population of 60,000.

His guinea pigs include a mixed race couple, a gay hairdresser, an atheist taxi driver and a glamour model . . . all of whom are called upon to give up unmarried sex, alcohol and pork, pray regularly and dress modestly for three weeks.

However, one of the show’s participants, Carla Newbury-Jones, had mixed feelings about it . . . and found little to laugh about.

The property entrepreneur’s partner, Muslim Ashley Ashiq, proposed to her during filming.

But Carla, 34, said she found the Imams’ strong disapproval of their relationship very disturbing. She believes they were prejudiced towards her because she is Christian and white.

She revealed: “It was a really uncomfortable experience and I was so glad when it was over.

“I was so proud of Ashley when he proposed in front of them because we had experienced a lot of prejudice.

“They told us we could not hold hands and could not sleep in the same bed because we were sinners. You could not get more prejudiced if you tried.

“I felt they looked down at me because I was white and not a Muslim. We have a beautiful relationship and refuse to let other people’s biased attitudes get in the way.

Well, I hope Ashley is more Brit than Muslim, because carla's going to be in for a rude awakening when they marry and things start changing.

This should be interesting. Will the guys get to take another wife, will the women be issued burqas, will they receive training in suicide vests?
