Its probably the only unbiased thing I've seen from BBC in a long long time.Its a story about a working class single mother from Leeds, who moves her family to an otherwise wholly Asian community in Bradford. Leah(the daughter) becomes friends with her neighbour Yasmin and discovers that the culture she was initially intimidated by isn't so alien after all. She is soon seeking sanctuary in the rituals of Islam, away from the pain and strife at home. But this innocent fascination turns sour for Debbie when her daughter comes home wearing a hijab, and the family's violent reaction has explosive consequences for everyone.

The actually shocking thing is that no Muslim was involved in the production of this drama and it still portrays Muslims in a good light!!!!The acting is really good too specially by the girl who plays Leah. Its a must watch for everyone.

Ghias you should not say "white girl" maybe you should use the word non-muslim and this is nothing new in my University I can count at least half dozen non-muslim girls who are students who converted to islam. Nevertheless a good sign.
