ffs, what has the BBC become?

A programme called 'Muslim Driving School' is on. The programme 'follows female British Muslims who are learning to drive.'

Why Muslims? Why driving? I fail to see why the two combined would make it of interest to anyone!

Daft.
No doubt there'll be many moslem men who will be seething that they're learning to drive as well. Female freedom = evil.
Taliban will also be livid.

I'm pretty sure it's a big deal for a muslim woman to be alone with a male, who isn't a family member.
This will probably form the main body of the programme, but it's good to see so much interest from the forum, on what the producers must have thought was a minority subject.

If everybody watches it, we could have a chat about it tomorrow.

I would of mentioned it if it was any of those!

Its not just the fact that it's 'Muslim'. It's the whole fact that someone has dreamed up such a pointless programme. People are paying for this shiite (pardon the pun).

O.P. Forgive me for pointing out that in some Moslem countries women are NOT ALLOWED to drive. This could be why they specify Moslem, women and driving.
