Muslims Like Us



One of the most interesting and thought provoking television programmes that I’ve seen for a while is the BBC2 production that aired last week, Muslims Like Us. A 2 part fly on the wall documentary where 5 female and 5 male Muslims where taken to York to live in a house together for 10 days.

As the 10 housemates arrived I felt that they were a very likeable group of people except for one of them. It became obvious very quickly that one of the men, Abdul Haqq who was very vocal in his intrpretation of being a Muslim was going to be trouble. He is retired champion British boxer Anthony Small who converted to Islam 11 years ago. You could almost tell that he was a convert because of his over zealous views, rather like some people who manage to quit smoking and how they annoyingly lecture smokers – I stopped smoking 7 years ago and hope I don’t do that!
