Written and directed by BAFTA award-winning Peter Kosminsky, Britz is a gripping two-part thriller about a young brother and sister, both British-born and Muslim, who are pulled in radically different directions by their conflicting personal experiences in post 9/11 Britain. Part one follows the story of Sohail (Riz Ahmed – The Road to Guantanamo ). Sohail’s desire to assimilate into every aspect of contemporary British culture sees him driven into the open arms of MI5. Soon, he is forced to question where his loyalties really lie.

It is absolutely OUTRAGEOUS that Channel 4 allows itself to be a vehicle to propagate the Muslim extremist message by finishing Britz with the appeal by the young woman (albeit in character) suggesting the |British Govt & its people are guilty of causing such extremism by the war on terror. Few Muslims are killed by the war on terror; most are killed by Muslim on Muslim violence. And what about the Christians & Hindus & others who are killed by these fanatics? Christians are being wiped out in Iraq, Palestine & many other parts of the world, despite the fact that before Islam, Iraq, Afghanistan & many now Islamic countries were actually Christianised. Look to nearly every trouble spot in the world & you will find Islam at the heart of it: either Moslem on Moslem violence or Moslems against Christians or others. It’s Channel 4 that has blood on its hands by suggesting this extreme brand of Islam is created by the war on terror. Obviously you do not want the facts to get in the way of a good story or your propaganda.
James Monger is absolutely right and C4 ought to be be held to account for propagating jihadist propaganda.
Kasminsky recirculates that the lie that we are ‘bombing Muslims’ in Iraq and ‘targeting’ them at home and he will bear a personal rseonsibility for future attacks on our people.
Shame!
You are missing the point here. What IS outrageous is that people are being put under control orders – indefinately – with next to no evidence. Perhaps these laws are aimed at Muslims, and perhaps they aren’t. What is true is that we are all now bound by them. And that includes you. Everybody wants to stop terrorism, but you don’t do it by removing all your freedoms. In that case – in our case, the UK’s case – the terrorists have won. They have already won. I’m frightened of suicide bombers, but I’m a whole lot more frightened by the police and this government. That’s the real shame.
A little history lesson Monger, Afghanistan was a Buddist country 3000 years slowly converted to Islam, all Islamic counties have converted to islam. NOT FORCED OR ANNIHILATED. Christians imposed their beliefs, ie INDIAN MUTINY 1867, where are the Mayans, NATIVES IN AMERICA WHERE ARE THEY????……
GET MY POINT.
Rant over…..YES I agree we are in scary part of human history, we have sleep walked into docile BLACK democracy. DNA PRINTS, ID CARDS, INCARCERATED WITHOUT REASON…S E E the drama P O I N T.
This is a EXCELLENT drama superb KASMINSKY, I SALUTE YOU.
Riz Ahmed is the hottest boy on TV.
