For those of you out there who are still waiting for those 
elusive moments of fame, this may be just the opportunity 
that you have been looking for!  The BBC have contacted 
the MCB in connection with identifying possible Muslim 
talents for a new series for BBC1 which aims to explore how 
other families run their lives and households.

On a more serious note, this is the type of opportunity we 
as a community need to grasp in order to help dispel popular 
myths and stereotypes about Islam and Muslims. In reality, 
most of us live quite normal lives – lives that revolve, for 
example, around school, work, friends and relations, and, of 
course, the local supermarket.  Perhaps the only 
really 'exotic' aspect of our lives is the spiritual dimension.  
This centers above all on our Niyyah (intention), with the 
exterior manifestations often associated with Islam playing, in 
comparison, a secondary role.

Any family who feels that they can make a useful contribution 
to promoting better understanding and helping to bridge 
cultural divides through participating in this series – that is, 
those with a sound intention – are encouraged to seize this 
opportunity.
