Re: Extremely British Muslim

Shockingly bad documentary.
If, as the Muslim woman (that's the actual Muslim woman, not the one dressed up) was at constant pains to make out, she was "British...I was born here" then why was the British woman dressed up as a "Pakistani muslim"? Why did the programme make references to the "Manchester Pakistani community"
It was, in some parts, toe-curlingly condescending. That shot of the Muslim woman wiping a tear from her cheek while watching the news about the Manchester bombing, the plinky-plonky incidental music, the constant references to the charity work etc etc
A couple of times, the facade slipped a bit..." I wouldn't let my daughter marry a non-Muslim", " I don't wear a niqab but I defend the choice of a woman to wear it"
Glad I watched it though
