detraveller - apologies. Of course I should have included Pakistan, India, Indonesia etc.
The question I was (badly) trying to ask was 'name any Muslim community around the world that best represents Islam'.
For many, Saudi Arabia is perceived to be the home of Islam. What parts of life within SA do Muslims want to be replicated here?

i do wonder if it's the case where A,B and C1 encounter more diverse and progressive muslims, while C2/D and E encounter more conservative muslims and both groups believe their own experience is representative, when neither is right.

WTF is a conservative muslim.

The Ahamdiyya sect are not considered Islamic in Pakistan. Nor here it seems by the murder of Mr Shah in Glasgow this year.
They and possibly the Sufis are the better expression of Islam.

I think the MCB conceded that they are. But I get the impression that the MCB is closer to being a slippery PR company than a mouthpiece for the different groups of Islam in the UK.
There is a startling reticence from the heads of the different groups in the UK, particularly when you compare it to the transparency of the CoE or the Catholics.

In 2016, 7-10% of Muslims in the UK identify with extreme Islam. In 1940 5% of Germans identified with extreme Nazism. And we know what happened there, don't we! Another BBC prog to soften up the indigenous population for the March of Islam. Vested interests by the BBC and liberal pinko cardigan and sandal wearing basket weaving Guardian readers! I hope this clarifies the matter!

That would be 4 million germans identifying themselves as Nazis, 76 years ago as compared to only 300,000 at most who identify themselves as extremists in UK today. Wrong comparison.

There are currently 70 international organisations that are proscribed under the Terrorism Act 2000 - the majority of which are Islamist groups. A further 14 organisations in Northern Ireland were proscribed under previous legislation.

given that at least 50 percent follow the deobandi teachings how did they manage to get such a 'representative' group of muslims. Talk about a set up. Nearly all of them are very reasonable people but they are very young and totally unrepresentative of the muslim population. Even more, not representative of its sect leader who rule the roost at their local mosques.

I am not watching this prog because I am watching a MI6 training film called On Her Majesty's Secret Service, but I hope it shows the peaceful religion of Islam in a good light, because as we know by watching the BBC that all terrorist attacks are carried out by mentally ill people of Asian origin, never Muslim terrorists. Muslims never do anything wrong. The Guardian, Ken Livingstone and Jezza Corbyn all confirm this so it must be true!

the problem is that there is a massive selection bias. deobandis wouldn't appear on this program.
it is amazing that trevor phillips survey ("what muslims really think") where they surveyed muslims from wards with a greater than 20% muslim population received pretty stern condemnation as being implicitly racist because of apparently flawed sampling techniques, but no doubt this program will be lauded for showing british muslims in a fair and positive light.
the answer, like most things in life, is neither black nor white, it's a shade of grey, and programs like this make no attempt to find out exactly which shade.

It would have been so much better, for propaganda purposes, to have excluded the zealot and just had gay, uncovered women and young comedians. It would show muslims in a much kinder light.

And where are the guys who drink alcohol?? I have been out with muslims of various ages. One a good friend. They all enjoyed a few pints. Very remiss of the bbc to exclude this group.

Thought this would have garnered more attention on here.
A chance for the rural Chit Chatters (from Whales and the like) to actually see and here from some everyday, harmless Muslims for a change. or as I like to think of them, human beings. They say never meet your bogey man in the flesh...much less terrifying than you will have imagined.
And surprisingly even handed by the BBC...putting a bona fide nutter in there.

Do what? That was a complete set up with the only one of true faith. The rest appeared to be a sort of mild easy going muslim, till gays and the edl meet was chucked in the mix. Then we started to see the cracks and the outright racism of some. Rest assured, when they get back to the mosque and their Imam, there will be corrections!!!

When we were bombing da sh1te out of youse in da 70's, the gobsh1tes in society refused to diferentiate between IRA scum and the Irish in general. The same gobsh1tes refuse to differentiate today...instead just lump them all together as "Mussies".
Ignorance is bliss.

Hope you guys learn more about the muslims. At the end of the day, don't forget its just a TV series with a script. So don't take it too seriously. I just saw a few clips and can't bother with whatever agenda the BBC are trying to promote here.

I don't know why you get in such a 'froth' about muslims. They are going for a caliphate here. There is an organisation going round the country promoting it. In fact they were on the streets demonstrating in London last night. (only a thousand of them) Demanding a caliphate. All you have to do is sit back and wait. They will get what they want eventually. Nothing you can do about it. You won't be allowed to. Don't get in a tizz about it - it is 'god's' will.

Small problem. Do you go shia or sunni ho ho!!!
