This was an awful programme.
The band that was not allowed to play at the UK concert were claiming foul play. They felt that the more traditional side of Islam (who were responsible for putting the event together) were fearful of their Western look - and that it was un-islamic.
Nonsense.
They were shit. Really, appallingly bad. At least two of them could not hold a tune at all.
Listening to them harmonise in the bus (or not in fact) was cringe inducing - and to think that they thought they were good!
So, all in all fair play to whoever it was that decided to not let them play.
<< Islam meets Pop music as two American, Muslim boy bands come to the UK on a whistle-stop tour and run into opposition from an unexpected quarter. Narrated by Muslim hip-hop DJ, Rupa Huq (sister of Blue Peter's Konnie) to mark the Muslim festival of Eid ul Fitr. >>
