Baz: The Lost Muslim,
Trailer for a two part series [beginning on RTÉ2 next Tuesday, December 15, at 10pm] featuring Emmy-winning Baz Ashmawy and billed as a ‘personal journey into Islam – the faith of his late Egyptian father, into which he, himself, was born, but which he has never really understood… until now’.
Thanks Anne Louise Foley

Looks like he’s been radicalised. Adults with imaginary friends are scary.
yup.say what you like about people battling with the shackles of early religious indoctrination but actively searching for or converting to organised madness strikes me as irrational… this show looks interesting though and Islam is SO hot right now.
“but actively searching for or converting to organised madness strikes me as irrational”
Make money, make money-money-money
Take money, take money-money-money…
Sounds like a decent premise for a documentary.
Yeah agreed, I’d watch this. Baz is a likeable chap.
I guess the worry is that it veers to far into playing it all for laughs.
Probably, but I’ll give it a look in.
It might actually be educational to certain people in our society.
You’re talking about the travellers?
hahahahahhghhgh no
:)
I wonder if Baz ever went on holidays to Egypt and stood in Tahir Square during a riot, minding his own business?
Are ye ‘Just Sayin’ ?
are they still drumming up support for that.
Yes.
A lot o nonsense with that story but at the end of the day….He deserves a fair trial.
Dire..
Ireland is a funny place at the moment, people have no problem at all belittling and slagging off Christians for their beliefs but if anyone says a bad word about Muslims they are attacked being called a racist and islamophobe etc even though both religions believe in the same God, just not the same prophet. Strange direction the country is heading. It would be great if I read the news at least one day a month and didn’t see a story about any religion, just leave believers to it and let the rest of the civilised world get on with things that are actually in the real world here and now.
Amen to that Bill.
can’t argue with that my man
Allow me to try;
ALL religions are nonsense, but whatever floats your Ark is fine by me.
I don’t remember anyone ever coming on here and saying they were Muslim.
Why would you expect anyone to attack what isn’t here? The ones with strong views are misinformed and living in fear anyway.
It’s a complicated game, and you can’t argue with an idiot.
Wait a minute.
I think I’m agreeing with you.
I need a drink.
@ Bill
Great comment. People trying to understand religion, looking at the details, fail to take account of the fact that they are all rubbish. Yes, respect other people’s rights to believe in whatever they want, if that gets them through life, but why isn’t the Flying Spaghetti Monster, or the Jedi, given as much air time as these equally unlikely belief systems?
@linbinius
Comment of the week!
Because the spaghetti mister or jedi philosophy haven’t thousands of years of things to talk about behind them. Like it or not, our culture is soaked to its eyeballs in millenia of Judeo-Christian “stuff”. That’s why those religions tend to crop up. Islam has also been in the news recently.
Oh, and most of the world has some interest in religion.
if it offers you any relief, you’re all morons.
Last i heard jc is in both faiths old chap, also gets an honorable mention in contemporary judaism, and oddly enough hinduism for that matter.
He gets around, doesn’t he?
(I only said ‘doesn’t he?’ to get around having to give him a capital ‘h’ by default..)
I’m talking to meself again here, so switch off if you like….
Yeah but, this Jesus bloke, why is he so popular?
-Is he like some mythical figure or something?
-Can you like move him from World Of Warcraft into Skyrim without losing any of your ‘fairy-dust‘ or something. Why is he so special?
Oh yeah…
Beavis ‘n’ pɐǝɥʇʇnq impressions for free.
Every weekend.
You should check it out.
What happened to my name?
Why is it all squiddely?
oh, yeah…
I’m bad at everything, except something.
-Is that really better than something that’s not as…than being bett…than better than..be better as…
Fupp it.
I’m never coming on this site again.
I’m absolutely outraged.
I did not notice the slagging off Christians for their beliefs en mass (no pun intended, ok pun was intended!). I did notice however some particularly odious right wing Christian propaganda which sought to misinform and divide the community which was decidedly un Christian if you ask me. Maybe if they toned that down people would have less to say about them.
You know the way people are called Christian, like Christian Slater. Are there people called Muslim?
There are people who have the last name ‘Islam’
Mohammed works.
Let me start it again…
ALL RELIGIONS are ridiculous, including your one.
Pointing out the fallacy of one DOESN’T validate the legitimacy of another.
Proceed.
Okay, suit yourselves.
I’ll still be here when you wake up.
I’m ALWAYS here, 24 to 7/11, on clockwork, like a cuckoo-ka-choo…like a my my chook-a-cook-a…
.
(What was the name of that song? You know the one?)
Talk later, or if not have a good weekend, each and every one of one.
I love you all equally.
I remember…
I luv ya, yes I luv yu. I luv ma coo-caa;

Mad stuff.
PS.
BS, ease off on the censorship, please.
You wreck half of me best jokes.
You cut the middle out of them.
Why do you do that?
Let’s call a truce for the weekend…I won’t use any names, bad language, irresponsible references, obvious references to [REDACTED] or anything like that.
I’m getting a leather jacket for Christmas, I think.
I’m already funnier than that lovely-looking fella who has one already, and I haven’t even got one yet.
I check everywhere in the house when they leave.
That shows my commitment.
Gimme a break.
No thanks
Bless me Father for I have sinned.
It has been almost 50yrs since my last confession, but I still remember what was drilled into my head before Hilti-Nails were invented. These are my sins;
some makey-up stuff, about getting angry with your sister, even though you didn’t have a sister.
3 Hail Marys?.
-He’d be lucky if I got halfway into the second one.
Can I take a bow?
-I feel like I should take a bow.
I’ve been awake/on-line for 30-odd hours, non-stop, clippety-clop, and I haven’t been fighting with anyone.
I think I never will again. Fight. Ever
For Christmas…
Or the New Year, whichever comes first.
And I LUUURVE those pictures of pets.
I have a printer, a dartboard and some sellotape.
-Keep ’em coming girls.
-It’s the weekend. Let’s do it.
Mornin’
So, how’s the form?
Yer badatsleeping too then
Sorry, you caught me off-guard there.
Name, Rank & Number please.
Sht3, I’m on on the wrong tab.
Back in a minute soldier, I mean civilian.
(Tell nobody, but I’m brilliant at everything. I underplay it. That way the fireworks are for free and fiercer. Lots of hed asplode.)
Don’t tell anyone. It’s a secret.
Too many tabs at once..
Mi hed asplode.
Where can you get a nice kebab at this hour, and don’t say Dame Street?
That’s not funny anymore.
Been awake since 4am trying to get an elderly dog go out to take a slash. She really needs to, but won’t go out in the downpour.
That’s a brand new one on me iseult .
-How do you do it?
I’m just curious about the science behind YOU knowing when your dog needs to have a pee, and your dog’s natural behaviour, of the ‘canine’ kind, like what dogs do.
You seem to know a lot more than your dog.
Can your dog type?
It’s s different whine…With pacing. After 13 years together we are in sync
Holy Christ.
I never knew, nobody ever told me, that can’t be…
…Holy Christ….
I mean that I never thought that a man would say…
…would say a thing like…
…would say a thing like that thing that that man just said.
My advice is that if you can’t do it on television you probably shouldn’t be doing it on the Internet.
-It’s a simple rule.
I feel so sorry for the dog.
Does your Mother know?
She’s grand…she has a thing for the other mutt, the collie.
Lol good joke
