Are you surprised that 5000 people a year convert to Islam? Plus Nihal talks to author Sunjeev Sahota about his new book. And later - should ABBA reunite?
At 1, Nihal kicks off the first debate of the year. We're asking, 'are you surprised that 5000 people a year have converted to Islam?'
A think tank has done some research into how many people have converted to Islam. They say based on actual figures received from mosques, together with estimates about the rest of the country, around 5000 people chose to embrace Islam last year. The think tank - Faith Matters - says they figure could actually be much higher than that, but 5000 is a reasonable estimate.
Do these figures surprise you? What do you think about this? Do you believe it's a good thing that more people seem to be embracing Islam? Why do you think people are drawn towards Islam? Or are you a bit sceptical if you come across someone who has embraced Islam as a way of life? We want to hear your opinion on this.
After 2, Nihal talks to author Sunjeev Sahota about his new book 'Ours Are The Streets' and later should ABBA get back together? According to some reports, there is a possibility the famous four might reunite. Take That did it, and they are back for good now. Should ABBA follow their footsteps? Or would it spoil their classic era of the 70's?
