In a new SBS documentary, 10 Muslim Australians with vastly different views on their faith live under one roof for eight days to explore what it means to be a Muslim in modern, multicultural Australia. While the housemates are united in faith, they are divided on what it means to be a ‘good Muslim’.
SBS TV has produced this amazing documentary Muslims Like Us. You can watch it over two nights at 8.30pm on February 21 & 22 on SBS
The Hindi Program spoke to Husnain who is a participant in this documentary. Husnain is of Pakistani background and he tells us that living together gives the housemates a chance to compare, debate and discuss some of the big issues facing Australian Muslims, and ultimately the show reveals the difference of opinion and behaviour within followers of Islam.
The documentary helps dispel some stereotypical views about Muslims and fosters a better understanding about the Muslim population in Multicultural Australia.
Husnain believes that there is a two-way misunderstanding within society caused by wrong interpretations of religious thoughts. He states that non-muslims need to understand that Islam is a reality and has been around for 1400 years.
