Does it matter? One thing that Britain does well is to assimilate foreign people and turn them into British people. This is already looking dated because the face of UK Muslims has changed so radically.
For every hardcore fantatic created, there are ten Westernised Islamics who sneak out for pre-marital sex, drink and eat bacon. If anything, the hardline fatwa makers should be applauding this show for reinforcing the stereotypes and keeping their faithful in line.
British people like everyone to be the same, so from Oliver Cromwell to Oswald Moseley to Abu Hamza - if you don't fit in with what we want and try to impose your own values, you are gone.
