BBC Channel 4.
The premise is they take a bunch local white-bread folks and have them be mentored by muslims in sharia law for 3 weeks.
Interesting experiment. I haven't watched the whole thing yet, but I'm pretty sure how it's going to turn out. Just a guess, but being that Brits are cut from about the same cloth as Americans, just add the stiff upper lip thing and the royals; I'm guessing they'll give it a try, be all giddy about it for a week, the second week will be pretty quiet while they start missing their beer, and by the 3d week there'll be a rebellion.
Update: The funniest part so far, they've got a gay guy on there and they're telling him he can't hang around with women anymore and he should go hang around with guys more...no, really.
Update: Last episode, they had the group go out and envangelize for islam. It's like taking a bunch of people and saying ok, go be jehova witnesses. Then, they had circulate position to build a mosque in that little white-break town, knowing full well they locals' resistance would make them look like bigots. About what I was expecting from the BBC...just took them a long time to get 'round to it.
Funniest Part: Background...the hijab (women's head covering) is worn partly to keep other men than their husbands from looking at them. One of the chicks said that the men should be more responsible for whom they look at rather than making the women cover up.
Oddity: Can't for the life of me figure out the gay guy. He's devout now. Here's a tip buddy, stay away from everywhere they actually enforce sharia...don't waste your time on a round-trip ticket if you're going to visit.
Final thoughts: What would we all think if BBC, or ABC for that matter, did a series entitled "Make Me a Jew"?
