Documentary: ‘Being Muslim in the UK’

Summary:

This documentary is about a few people who became Muslim. The title of this film is; “Welsh, White and Muslim. Omer and Shareen Williams are married. Omer was a teenager when he became Muslim. Shareen was already Muslim. Omer’s brother is married to Kate, they are also Muslim, but both converted. This is rare because most of the time, it’s a mix (one Muslim, non-Muslim) and they are also white. Shareen goes out with her face covered, to see what the comments are in Cardiff. Somebody threatens to kill her. Shareen says it is because religion is on the back seat in the west. Omer left Christianity to become Muslim out of his own Islam phobia. He found out the reality was different. But they can notice, their relationships with friends and family became restrained.

My Opinion:

I don’t believe in a God. I was raised without a religion so I don’t know how it is to have one. But my parents always taught me to respect everybody the way they are. I think, in my work as a teacher, you have to be unprejudiced to do your job correctly. If people want to become Muslim and they believe that it’s good for them… Who am I to judge those people? People have to do the things that make them happy. And if becoming a Muslim is one of them, they should convert. I think it’s a shame the Muslims have their appearance against them, because of all the things that happen in the world on behalf of the Muslims. That’s why people are prejudiced about them. I don’t think that will ever change.
