Sorry if i offend but the way he acts is why Ben is a target for bullies i do feel sorry for him and now his dad is showing Louise all his attention

I wonder if Shirley's warning to the bully's dad will work?

It's nice to see Max and Jack being close - I laughed out loud when Jack hit the doctor.

I'm glad Masood doesn't believe you choose to be gay. Isn't it terrible that Syed wouldn't be allowed to attend his father's funeral if he comes out?

How annoying was Amira in this episode going on about mood lighting and scatter cushions?

[Perdita]

Amira is trying to make herself attractive to her husband, she is pulling out all the stops as most newly weds would, I guess. Not so nice to watch I guess but realistic for a change in a soap

Yeh explosive episode. Really enjoyed it! Im very confused about the muslim religion. You can be a muslim but then you can disagree with many parts of it. Like Amira is best friends with Christian and they chat about his boyfriends and stuff, which im assuming most muslim people wouldnt. Then there's Masood who has been quite friendly towards Christian until this Syed stuff has come out. It only really seems to be Zanaib that has huge issues with being gay. It's really crazy. Its like the catholic religion. It says in the bible that only men and women should be together cos it makes children, and nothing ever moves on from that. Like it says in Koran (not sure of spelling) and you have to abide by it. Its nothing like the British Constitution, which changes through time to adapt to cater for people's beliefs and feelings.
It is everybodys right to believe what they want to believe but I do think people should be a bit more open minded to change.

I dont understand how a book that was written thousands of years ago can have any bearing on the here and now! I suppose thats why I couldnt be religious.

I just laughing at Max telling Jack to make a fist, then he told him about Ronnie.. then told him he used his good hand..

I was glad too about Mas.. he know it is not something you choose to be but religion states otherwise.. Poor Mas.. what will he do? h

[Dazzle]

Poor Mas.. what will he do?

It's going to be even worse for him when he finds out that Zainab knew before Syed's marriage and forced him to go through with it. Will Masood and Zainab's marriage survive?

[Siobhan]

Yeah, that is going to be a smack in the mouth for him... but would it have been any different then..mmm I would say yes cause he was worried about hurting Zainab again with stories about Syed... my heart went out to him last night

I think she is going OTT though. Still showing some insecurity to me.

I was really pleased about that too.

Yeh definitely. But how can you be Muslim and not believe what is said in the Koran. Though I dont actually know what it says in the Koran, maybe it would be helpful if somebody could find out cos I dont have a clue. Obviously something about not being allowed to be gay. Or is it just the absence of homosexuals in the koran that leads them to believe its unacceptable? Like certain Christians believe homosexuality isnt cos the bible is all based on Mary and Joseph. Is it something like that with the Muslim religion as well?
