"Are you gonna have an arranged marriage?"
"Do you wear your hijab in the shower?"
"Did you know where Osama was?"
Yeah I got that one as well.
*Giggles*
Do you want to join ISIS?
I said "Actually no, I'm Muslim,"
and the first thing, he didn't even think about it,
he said "Oh so, like, you must support ISIS."
Like, seriously, what a lot of people forget is that ISIS kill a lot of Muslims as well.
Yeah.
They'd kill us.
Yeah, they just wanna kill everyone.
They'd kill him.
They'd so kill me.
It's like when that Norwegian guy, Anders Breivik, or whatever
shot all those kids because he's a white supremacist,
like, I don't go around asking white people "Can you explain white supremacy to me?"
It's absurd!
"Do you not wish you could eat bacon?"
*Giggles*
Literally, no.
Do you get that as well? Do you get that?
"Oh bacon! Bacon mate!"
All my non Muslim friends at one point or another,
have tried to tempt me into eating bacon.
And then he made a bacon sandwich. He was like,
"I'm just gonna leave it there, and you see if you're gonna have that."
It does look nice.
*Giggles*
I don't know, like, crispy bacon, sizzling, when they show it on telly, I'm like mmm
It is, it is nice, don't tell, it's really lovely.
"Are you going to have to marry your cousin?"
*Giggles* No!
So, it's like, if I had good looking cousins, then like...still no.
I think it comes, like traditionally, from South Asian cultures and families.
I don't know, don't look at me, I don't know. What are you asking me for?
Do you think that happens a lot though? People getting culture mixed up with religion,
because they might have only met a certain "kind" of muslim
So they assume it's religion when it's just culture
All the time, I think they get confused, I think they think it's all one race.
I don't even know how to answer that question, because that question is just so stupid.
How many times do people ask us this question?
People wear what they want to wear and people should reveal their body if they want to reveal their body,
and that doesn't mean you're any less equal or more equal.
People wouldn't ask a woman, you know, in a bikini, on a beach,
"Do you think that the way you dress, like, makes you unequal?"
Like, nuns, nuns cover up and i don't feel like anyone questions their motives behind it,
it's to get closer to God and that's what they wear, their habit is like their uniform
and their sign of their devotion to God
but if a Muslim woman's wearing it it's because "you're oppressed" or obviously "you're being forced to wear it."
It's always how we look, it's always the veil when it's like, there's so much more going on,
there's so much more to Muslim women than just that and, like, that's quite sexist to me.
I'm gonna do this in the right voice appropriate to the question,
*aggressive cockney* "Do you want sharia law in the UK?"
No
*Laughs*
Creeping sharia, can you explain creeping sharia please?
I don't know what creeping sharia is.
It's like when sharia law comes in, creeps in, into the middle of society,
becomes law without the British people knowing and are subjugated to second class citizens and we become the masters, basically.
I think the sharia laws that are to do with chopping hands off and beheading and stuff like that
they're called hood laws, and they make up, I think, five laws out of, I don't know, however many,
but it's a small percentage of the laws and they're quite extreme, I get that
but I think the UK has laws that are quite close to sharia law, like the welfare state,
that's a sharia law, like kind of, benefits, that sort of thing.
Am I allowed to pray in this country? Can I live my life as a Muslim?
For me that's sharia. If I could be a Muslim in this country that's my sharia.
Seeing the worst type of drunk people falling over and stuff in the street and hearing the worst sorts of things,
that's kinda what we see.
It's not a good advert is it?
I don't really wanna do that.
Somebody dies, you drink. Somebody, you know, does something good, you drink.
Something bad happens, you go to the pub, it's such a massive part of British culture.
Drinking, going to the pub and after work drinks, I think a lot of people do feel like they're missing out by not being a part of that.
There's the assumption that Muslims don't drink
and anyone who's been to a nightclub at Eid will know, yeah.
We all
"Are you proud to be British?"
Yeah! Of course I am!
He's Welsh.
I am proud to be British in the sense that I am British, I am, you know, we've both grown up here
like, this is our culture and our society.
So you're patriotic about not being patriotic?
Well, yeah, I mean, I like being British but I'm not that bothered.
That does actually sound like quite a British thing to say.
A white British person could, like, criticise whatever they want and everyone will be like,
oh you know, that's just a typical British thing, like, you know, everyone's so cynical
and criticises everything but when it's us, it's like "Eugh"
It's seen as a sort of attack if it's coming from us I guess.
-Yeah -Even though we're just as British.
We do not realise how good we've got it.
Other parts of Europe it's a lot tougher.
Back home bro, back home, you know, this programme wouldn't exist in Egypt.
Guaranteed this programme would not exist in Egypt.
So we're spoilt.
Yep
The weather's bad though.
The weather is bad.
Don't give them too much. Don't be like thanks for letting us be here.
I think if we can sort the weather out I think we will buy into this Britain thing.
Just sort the weather out.
