Nabil's attitude was understandably given his and his wife's experience with the EDL.

Abdul is a scary guy and I have very mixed feelings about him.

Listening to each individual talk about their faith was very interesting. It's a shame the programme is only on for 2 nights.

I was impressed by the you man's willingness to try on a one to one basis, Anya. He knew about EDL and was still prepared to try. Small steps and all that.

Watched it on catch up when sleep was elusive. I also found it fascinating but like any edited programme I was left wondering what had been edited out. I am looking forward to the second part and hope to learn more about the individuals, how their lives encompass their faith and how the dynamic evolves. Agree with kitty, a longer series would seem appropriate.

Watched this last night and indeed found it fascinating. The older woman, in particular, was a revaluation as you say 'Kitty* but I thought the Syrian who tried to hug the EDL man was rather naive though know kind. The comedian's reaction was understandable with his experience of these people. The EDL are truly evil and too stupid to reason with. I've read some of their hate messages on FB and it's shocking.

I'll certainly be tuning in again tonight.

We watched it and found it fascinating. I wish the series was going to be longer as it doesn't seem long enough to get a good enough understanding.

I was impressed by the young man who tried to engage with the member of edl and slightly shocked that he was berated by the stand up comedian.

I am fascinated by the older woman too.

Did anyone else watch tonight?

It was much better than I expected it to be and very interesting to see just how much Islam was part of each person's life.

The 2nd part is on Tuesday night, but I will have to watch it on catch up.
