we're proper muslims.
[ scoffs ]
we are proper muslims.
Yeah, yeah, I know, I know.
you know?
Rashid, listen.
Look, I may not say my namaz
five times a day, okay?
I may not even,
you know, fast
Every day
of ramadan, you know?
And, now and again,
A small sip of the old pale ale
passes my lips.
But in here, in here,
by the name of the prophet,
Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
allah lives, okay?
Come on.
Okay, dad.
Of course.
I just need that
to be clear, you know?
When the time comes,
I think maybe it's
what they would have wanted.
[ sighs ]
you're right.
All right.
I promise, okay?
I promise that when
fundamentalist fatty fatwa face
Comes around...
Dad.
...I'll be very --
don't do that.
I'm joking.
I promise that
when uzma's stepdad pops by,
I will be the best muslim
I can be.
Hey?
Thanks, dad.
Come on.
Thanks.
Come on,
let's finish up the job.
Subhan'allah,
look at all this stuff.
God, my dad's military service,
discharge certificate.
You got mum's
birth certificate.
You got my birth...
Certificate.
Saamiya?
Huh?
Where's my mother now?
In jannah.
She's flying with your father
through the seven skies.
My father.
Woman:
Well, mr. Nasir,
I think we can think
only one thing, really.
You were adopted
at the age of 2 weeks
From the whitechapel branch
of the waifs and strays society.
Waifs and strays?
What was I,
a golden retriever?
It's now simply called
the children's society.
Right.
So, who are
my real parents?
Ah, we don't tend to use
the word "real"
In these cases, mr. Nasir.
Oh, what word
would you use?
Would you use "lazy"
or "irresponsible"
Or "couldn't quite be bothered
to bring me up" parents?
"birth."
we say "the birth parents."
Ah, okay, sorry.
So who are my "birth" parents?
Can you not do that
inverted-commas thing?
Yes, all right.
Yes, yep.
If you wish to trace
your real parentage,
You will have to go
to one of the agencies
That deal with that.
They'll put you in touch
with a counselor...
Just the name.
...After which --
Just the real name,
my birth name. I need to know.
I'm sorry,
but my hands are tied.
Mrs. Keyes, please.
In my culture, a man's name
is really important to him.
I'm afraid not.
Just --
just the first name.
Look, you may have had
no name at all.
Many waifs and strays
do not.
Okay, well,
just check that, please.
I'm -- I'm sorry I'm taking
your time, miss.
No -- uh, you do --
did.
So, there you go.
Um, well, c-can you tell me
what the name was?
I'm sorry.
I said I wouldn't tell you that.
No, no.
No, you didn't.
You said you wouldn't tell me
my whole name.
Look, I can't trace anything
with just nothing!
All right, all right.
Will you go
if I tell you?
Yes, I'll be happy --
really happy -- to go.
[ sighs ]
Well, what is it?
Is it akbar? Omar?
Jamal?
I've always liked "jamal."
Solly.
Solly? Solly?
No, there's got to be
some mistake in the records.
Can I just look at that,
please?
No, you said you'd go.
Come on, please.
That's before I knew my name
was solly.
Now, see here.
Just have a quick look.
Please, please, please.
Mrs. Keyes, please.
Mr. Nasir,
I will call security.
I need to look at it.
I need to look at it.
I need to look at it,
please. Thank you.
Excuse me.
Thank you.
Shimshiz--
I think it's pronounced
"shimshileewitz."
Security.
Solly shimshileewitz.
Yes.
No.
But that would mean
I was --
I-I-I was --
Yes, mr. Nasir,
As, indeed, it goes on to
confirm later in the document,
In common with many people
living in this area at the time,
You are, by birth, jewish.
[ laughs ]
no.
No, but I can't be.
I mean, look at me.
I'm so obviously not.
[ scoffs ]
Well, it's not what it says
here, mr. Nasir,
And you are also,
at the present time, leaving.
Thank you.
Oh, what?
Give me a break.
You find out
you're jewish,
a uniform is leading you away?
That's ridiculous.
Come on!

Please just make it
not true -- please.
[ man chanting in ara bic ]
Hello, george.
Daniel, how are you?
Very good. Very good.
You're looking well.
Easy, easy!
Excuse me. Do you mind
Man:
A fabulous track thereby cat stevens,
Or yusuf islam,
I should say.
Morning, jew.
Morning.
What would you like
for breakfast?
Crunchy bread.
Sorry,
did you just say --
Daddy?
Yes, darling?
Can you do up my jews?
What are you talking about?
Mmm. There's too much jew
in this tea.
Sorry, did I say "tea"?
I meant "jew."
Ah-jew!
Ah-jew!
Well, look,
I've got to go to work.
Yes, good.
I need to study this.
[ bell tolls ]
[ rock music playing,
people cheering ]
[ man singing indistinctly ]
[ snoring ]
[ laughs ]
mahmud.
Mahmud!
[ speaking arabic ]
wake up! Mahmud!
Mahmud, wake up.
[ laughs ]
have you been here all night?
Come, come.
Stand, stand, stand.
Oh, geez.
You've fallen asleep.
It's okay.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Oh, I got to go back.
Christ,
my wife will kill me.
[ sighs ]
Imam...
Yes? What?
There's something I'd like
to talk to you about.
Is it about rashid
and uzma?
I mean, I know it's
a little heavy
That al-masri's her stepdad,
a little "wtf?"
No. Well, yeah.
No, no, no.
That's not it, though.
Here's the thing --
I've just found out something
about myself.
Ah, a difficult thing?
[ sighs ]
you're telling me.
Something that deeply challenges
your idea of yourself?
Yes, yes, exactly.
I think I know what it is
you're trying to tell me.
You do?
Yes.
You're not the first.
Really?
No.
I mean, the thing is, the qur'an
Yes, of course.
and interpretation,
And my interpretation
is this --
If you're gay,
you're gay.
Oh, for christ's sake,
no --
yeah.
Now, now, I know
al-araf ayah 80 states
That ye who practice their lusts
upon men as opposed to women
Rain down on them
a shower of brimstone.
That's not actually --
it sounds bad, I know.
But I think that brimstone
Is already raining
down on you inside.
Yes, but --
And maybe that's enough
for allah.
No, well --
do I look like --
Now, the punishment for this
is death by stoning,
Some say.
But if you read my book,
"islam:
The other voices,"You'll find a whole host
of evidence that suggests
That when two men...
[ speaking indistinctly ]
Well, have you see those
christian louboutins again?
No.
Well, agyness deyn
