Faith before education?

BBC Asian Network - Nihal, Faith before education?

What's more important, your education or your faith?

What's more important, your education or your faith? Plus Nihal talks to Indarjit Singh, first turbaned Sikh to sit in the House of Lords. And where are the worst places to drive?

At 1, Nihal asks 'What's more important your education or your faith?'

The number of Muslim students applying for university will drop next year because they won't take out student loans for religious reasons. According to Islamic faith, paying or charging interest on any loan isn't permitted. But in this day and age, is it unreasonable to expect Muslim students to get through university without student loans? Should you put your education before anything else? Or should you stick to your religion even if it means losing out on higher education?

At 2, Indarjit Singh, the first turbaned Sikh to sit in the House of Lords will be in the studio talking to Nihal about Sikh awareness.

At 2.30, Where have you had your worst driving experiences? 

According to newspaper reports, Top Gear's Christmas special is being filmed in India. So what do you think Clarkson and company will think of the roads there? Have you driven in places such as Sri Lanka, Bangladesh or Pakistan? And if so, how did you find it?
