Muslims make up less than three per cent of the Australian population, yet dominate the news headlines and are often misunderstood. In this new two-part series, ten Muslim Australians with vastly different views on their faith live under one roof for eight days to explore what it means to be a Muslim in modern, multicultural Australia.

Darned if I know, but this should be interesting, educational, and informative for the reason that they will all be trying to outshine each other as a Good Muslim and a Good Australian/Westerner DESPITE their agreed differences of what it means to be a Muslim.

Be on the lookout for those who try to sell the notion that Islam is 'just like any other religion' - the same as Christianity or Buddhism - (a favourite of Gandalf's).

And don't be surprised if a little permissible deception creeps into the conversations being heard by the viewers ... ie ..

"In Islam, Taqiya or taqiyya (Arabic: تقیة‎ taqiyyah, literally "prudence, fear")[1][2] is a precautionary dissimulation or denial of religious belief and practice in the face of persecution.[3][4][1][5] Another term for this concept, kitmān (lit. "action of covering, dissimulation"), has a more specific meaning of dissimulation by silence or omission.[6][7]"

All permissible under sanction of the Islamic religion.

Same with the Muslim practice of divorcing your wife and then remarrying your wife after having a session with a prostitute.

Unfortunately, this type of informed education only ever seems to reach the already informed and educated

The rest of you would have been tuned in to see the latest cat-fight between two pairs of "bitches" - on "My Kitchen Rules"

That's a very astute observation, and is why the Great Unwashed are the most naive and ignorant when it comes to having some idea about things outside of SPORT.

I'd like to vote that gay Muslim get voted out of the house. He's a pain.

Oh - and the niqab with the glasses has to go too. She's getting on everyone's nerves.

That's a contradiction. But the premise of the show, SBS demonstrating how objective Muzlims can be, is a typical snow-job from that anti- English/European editorial clique.
