Live Under Sharia Law - Reality Show

I kid you not! A new reality show will have non-Muslims living under strict Sharia law for three weeks in the town of Harrogate in North Yorkshire. I cannot tell you how disgusting this sounds to me. A big step in the wrong direction if I ever saw one. The three-part program, yet to be titled, will be broadcast on Channel Four on December 16, 17 and 18.

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. [snip]

He said: “I wanted to make a series that had some humour in it. I’m tired of seeing guys with beards who are a bit scary. I wanted to explore how white people come to grips with a religion they’ve kind of heard of. I wanted to portray those people as human beings who go through a range of emotions.

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. [snip]

I felt they looked down at me because I was white and not a Muslim. (continue reading)

An "uncomfortable experience?" No kidding. Wake up and smell the coffee. There is nothing funny about this. Up Pompeii referred to the show as a "dry run", and says:

No surprise - it appears that the programme has backfired and turned into a bad experience for the majority of those involved, for a variety of reasons, most having to do with the negative judgemental opinion muslims have of non-muslims = kuffar.

The Lone Voice has some choice opinions of this show. He lives in the UK, poor baby.

As disgusting as it might seem... it's actually great... it has just demonstrated exactly what it would be like for a wstern non-muslim to live under sharia. maybe this will open people's eyes.

How they got anyone to participate, however, is beyond me. I guess money talks. I hope they got paid!

ISLAMSFORLOSERS: Good questions. Read the next post about the movie condemning the Quran. I see more rampages in the future.

Do you have a blog/website?

Sharia reality show, eh? How many beheadings will take place? Or the mere dispensing of a couple hundred lashes? Without such things a sharia show just wouldn't be truly authentic.
