Gay muslim story line on East Enders.....
Well..do you think the Muslims on this show will debate whether they kill gays by throwing a wall on them...or stoning??
EastEnders is to screen a storyline involving a Muslim character who has a gay affair.I'm already worried - they're listing to academics - a huge mistake - and the Muslim Council of Great Britain. This is not going to get to the heart of the matter - that Muslims routinely call for the death of gay people...
New character Syed Masood, a Muslim property developer who has a girlfriend, is to fall for openly gay Christian Clarke.
The couple will be shown kissing and 24-year-old Masood, played by Marc Elliott, finds his "religion and sexual feelings in conflict".
Last year, the BBC received more than 150 complaints over a gay kiss between Christian and Lee Thompson which was shown before the 9pm watershed.
Diederick Santer, the EastEnders executive producer, said BBC1 soap's production team had researched the plot while working with academics, gay Muslim support groups and the Muslim Council of Great Britain.
