How will the six volunteers cope with living according to the laws of the Qur'an?
Not very well at all:
The process starts with a sweep of the group’s homes for items that are haram – forbidden by Islam – such as alcohol, pork, inappropriate clothing, lads’ mags… The next stage is to add a schedule of praying five times a day. The rebellion begins almost immediately. Taxi driver Phil retreats to his local pub for pork pies and beer; others object to the rigid dress codes and say that they disagree with many aspects of the faith.
mmmm. Beer!
To Ajmal’s disappointment, only three turn up for Friday prayers at the end of the first week.
It didn't get much better on retreat:
Back in Harrogate, the women had resisted the Muslim tradition of modest dress. At the retreat, though, mentor Dawn insists that this rule is obeyed. Glamour model Kerry feels so oppressed by the clothing that she decides to quit. With a little give and take, though, Ajmal persuades her to stay.
Many of the other women respond by rebelling against the whole regime: they stash illicit supplies of scotch eggs, crisps, sweets and portable DVD players in their dormitory.
No word on whether the group converted, no word on whether they didn't. It doesn't appear that anyone suffered the true effects of Sharia law, presumably they were not flogged on public television for their lapses into the evil alchohol and their failure to cover themselves with a sheet. No one was crucified or hanged or mutilated, everyone retained their heads. So. I guess Britian isn't really ready for reality TV.
Will Britian's Channel Four have a special next month... "Make me a Christian" or even "Make a Buddist?"
My guess would be.... no.

When can we expect the Benazir Bhutto treatment in their Harrogate in Yorkshire neighborhood now that they are known 'apostates'? The muzzies all have the mentality of a charging rhinocerous, are as short sighted and have the same herd characteristics of attacking everything around them.
Pervez Musharraf may deplore the murder of Bhutto but it's the cult_ure, he might be next and al-Qaeda will then have their nuke. Talk to 'em Harry and Nancy, they are so understanding, they'll surely listen to you.

Here in the States, Fox would create "Queer Eye For The Muslim Guy"!!

Do they have IED building tips on their version of HGTV?
Disgust prevails........

Laughable tv.
Is this how all muslims live or would a better title be "Make Me A Devout Conservative Muslim"?
The fact that the conservative tack was decided on is itself a slap in the face of those muslims who don't worry about losing their place in paradise because they had a beer.
Anyhoo, if someone asked me if they could "make me a muslim" I would ask them if I could first "make them a target".
