Do you have any respect for Muslims who fight for the British Army in Afghanistan?

Do you have any respect for Muslims who fight for the British Army in Afghanistan? And would you be offended if you were invited to a wedding, but not the reception?

At 1, Do you have any respect for Muslims who fight for the British Army in Afghanistan?

The Asian Network has been given exclusive access to Muslim soldiers fighting in Afghanistan. They've told us that they will kill for the UK, that they believe they are helping Muslims in Afghanistan by serving in the British Army, and they believe what they are doing isn't a war on Islam...

What do you think about this? If you're a Muslim are you proud to see a Muslim Soldier doing his duty for Queen and Country? Or do you think what he's doing is wrong? If you're not a Muslim do you have extra respect for what he's doing?

The family of one Muslim soldier who died in Afghanistan says he was branded a traitor by fellow Muslims. That's despite the ultimate sacrifice he made. What do you think when you hear comments like that? 


After 2 - Kate and Wills have invited two thousand people to the religious part of the Royal wedding but only three hundred to the party. Would you be offended if that happened to you? Would you go to a wedding where you weren't fed?

Also after 2 - We'll be talking to Razia Sultanova - author of a new book exploring the influences of Sufism.
