Breakthrough comedian Tez Ilyas presents a show for everyone interested in – or interested in becoming – a British Muslim.
Everything you need to know is here - the do's, don'ts, and avoid-or-you'll-be-arresteds. Simultaneously a hilarious, joyous celebration of British-Muslim life - and a subversive, thoughtful satire on society's attitudes to Islam.
In this episode, Tez looks at ‘Integration’, a word that’s often used in the context of Muslims in the UK.
How can Muslims integrate better? And who says they don’t at the moment? And more importantly, what’s Marks & Spencer or hipster beards got to do with it? Tez explains all…
Producer: Sam Bryant
A BBC Studios production for BBC Radio 4, first broadcast in August 2016.
