Product Overview
Muslims Like Us is a fascinating two-part series, which explores what it means to be Muslim in modern Australia. Muslims make up less than three per cent of the Australian population, yet they are a religious minority under siege. Sensational headlines fuel a growing mistrust of Muslims, which many politicians are quick to exploit. Now, in an affluent suburb on Sydney's lower north shore – home to former Prime Minister Tony Abbott, and the heart of his electorate – ten Muslims from across the country will live together under one roof for eight days, exploring what it means to follow Islam in a climate of suspicion and escalating fear.
