In today's Guardian Sam Wollaston gives Make me a Muslim (4oD link: C4.com link)another kicking:
Make Me a Muslim (Channel 4)? It's easy. All you need to do is to follow some simple rules. It's all about banning a few things. No pork then, and ease off on showing human flesh, too, especially in public. Less swearing, please, and no booze. Don't read Nuts, be less British, and less gay, wear the right gear, do more praying and less pole-dancing.
The teaching of the prophet Muhammad? The Koran? Nah! Don't be worrying about any of that. Islam - it's basically a few rules, stuff you can't do. And that's it, a major world religion in a nutshell, job done, sorted by reality TV.
Either that, or this show's a disgrace
You can have your say at the Channel 4 Forums or over at The Guardian's TV Blog
