A new reality show on C4 sees a diverse group of people living as Muslims for three weeks. This could be seen as dumbing down the faith for the masses, however the producer Narinder Minhas has defended it as being a way for people who are alien to the religion to gain better insight instead of the hate mongering that is evident among some programming on Islam. An issue that has come up with this programme is that it has come out at a time where the public do not trust television broadcasters. He assures this has been taken into account and that what the viewer sees is as it happened rather than being edited to make it look like more was happening or to make the show appear more tense and exciting. “If an event didn’t happen in a chronological order then we couldn’t put it in as if it had.” I started reading this article thinking that the show sounded like the usual bad reality programming and would probably do more bad than good for Islam’s image however by the end of the article it sounded like it could be quite a credible show considering they’re making an effort to be more genuine with the way the show is presented.
