She's a Thoroughly Modern Muslim; part 4

A delightful film about a rarely-heard voice of Middle England, featuring four women who are keen to show people that they are Thoroughly Modern Muslims. Haleh is a professor, Asia is a cartoonist, Maryam is a trainee solicitor and Fari is a full-time mum and qualified GP.

Aided by a friendly commentary from actress Mina Anwar, they invite viewers to see Britain and Islam through their eyes, and show how they interpret the foundations of their faith in contemporary British culture.

The programme addresses all the issues expected from a documentary about Muslims -- head-covering, terrorism and the Five Pillars of Islam -- but people might not expect the spirit of friendliness, humour and warmth that these four women display, from Professor Haleh's modest rebellion against fasting, to young mum Fari persuading her daughter to eat her greens. And, while Asia tries to persuade the world that she isn't oppressed, Mancunian Maryam hopes one day she'll be a "strong enough person" to cover her head. They're dedicated followers of Islam, but passionate about the little things that make Britain a great place.

She's A Thoroughly Modern Muslim is 30 minutes in the company of four women -- thoroughly British and thoroughly Muslim -- who strive to meet the challenges posed by faith and British culture.

Just to let you know its not ' Moslems', It's correct spelling is Muslims. What's so imcompatible with the beliefs a muslim has? It's funny how you can believe all this crap because of you're ignorant thinking because you clearly are blinded because im a muslim living in the U.k who seens muslims getting on with their lifes. I dont see anything incompatible living in the west as a Muslim. I think you should re-check your rescources before you make silly comments.

@Amandalx21 If you're too stupid or stubborn to look after your own health, WTF do you expect I should care. I'm just telling it like it is. If you do nothing about it, that's your problem not mine, go cry to your dark ages giant invisible fairy story character instead. You'll get the exact same response, nothing.

@Valthepixie Once i get married and have kids, i'll get back at you. and we'll see if i have retard children.

@Amandalx21 This survey report is from 2005 but there are plenty of other sites with more upto date information if you can be bothered to do a search. Since 2005 there has been a huge, (millions) influx of additional Muslim immigrants into the UK. So the percentage numbers of vitamin D deficent sufferers will be much much higher.

Is it worth it. Is it essential you make yourself and your offspring ill over a stupid unsubstantiated dark age story?

[Valthepixie]

@Amandalx21 Yes I'm referring to all the female muslim immigrants. Because those are the ones that wear a body bag and don't get any vitamin D. WTF would I be talking about any other group when it's about lack of vitamin D. I'm not assuming anthing that's a religious thing, you know believing unsubstantiated dark age BS about giant invisible fairy story characters interested in your sex life. I only deal with facts and reality. Thanks, have a nice winter solstice yourself. :D

@Valthepixie immigrants.are all the immigrants muslim? maybe majority are.i dont want to argue with you without any concrete evidence. u just assuming and making presumptions. have a nice day

[Valthepixie]

@Amandalx21 adjust. 3. Actually that's not entirely true. Some Europeans are having the same problem through over using sun blockers. (the pharamaceutical companies should be strung up by their balls for misleading people into believing the sun causes skin cancer when it does not) But it is a tiny number compared to the Muslim population. Wearing a body bag or wearing sun blocker has the same effect. It stops the absorbtion of Vitamin D which causes devastating health problems.

[Amandalx21]

@Valthepixie whatever. last time i checked, majority of those who gives births to retards are not primarily the covered up women. sorry to disappoint you.

[Valthepixie]

@Amandalx21 There are other ways of getting some extra vitamin D. Can you eat 20 oily fish a day. A gallon of Butter or Cheese, I doubt it. But do as you want, wear a body bag and give birth to babies with rickets, autism and mental retardation, it's on the increase and after all its only permanent. Give yourself a short life of ill heath, I couldn't give a shit, I'm just saying.

[Valthepixie]

@Amandalx21 You've not heard of it... look it up. If you are an idiot and get sun burnt then you have a small risk of getting skin cancer. But not under normal circumstances, 15 to 30 minutes per day will not get you sunburnt.

I've noticed with you people It's all extreme this or that, never common sense. If you've moved to a colder area, then you have to adapt to it. You can't change nature to fit in with your rituals. Supliments are exactly that, they are not a replacement.
