Make Me A Muslim: What brings women to faith?

Make Me A Muslim was on Wednesday, 30 January at 9pm on BBC Three.


Growing numbers of young British women are converting to Islam. Shanna Bukhari, a 26-year-old Muslim from Manchester, sets out to find out why girls are giving up partying, drinking and wearing whatever they want for a religion some people associate with the oppression of women.
This warm documentary follows the highs and lows of five girls as they embrace their new faith. From adapting to a religion that allows a man to marry up to four wives to the acceptance of friends and family, it isn't always easy.  Below are some of the converts that the presenter met.
