goodevening everyone i am Jawahir from the Sultanate of Oman. I think words can not express my feelings. I had a wonderful time with these people,. i felt i was with my family in my country. I would like to tell you about the feeling of being a Muslim in the UK. Actually, when i first cam here i thought walking in uk streets with my hijab and abaya would be a disaster but i found a different thing. the british people were very friendly to me they were looking at me and would smile. that made me confident and feel happy. And i felt really i was in my own country.

I had a lot of opportunities to talk about Islam here, in cathedrals and schools and we even talked about religion in our circles of love. we have been told we are funky muslim girls, and I love that. When we were in the cathedral we have met the priest and our curiosity lead us to ask a lot of questions. we learnt a lot about christianity and Judaism, we found that they are actually similar links between them. When we were in the islamic school, that picture shows a piece on the window, this mosque was a church before and they kept the peice behind it because the message is similar to islamc because it isnt against Islam. I like this link between the two religions.

actually when we were in the islamic higgh schools for girls in london we met wonderful girls, they were so confident and so strong, and such a strong faith. I felt like I was one of them.

Finally I would liek to thank the offscreen team. I would liek to thank stephen for choosing me for this expedition. he told me that he chose me for my big smile before the art. i would like to thank barney for taking films, jamie for supporting us all the time, Aya jenna and Tahira for cooking food and being there all the time and finally i would liek to thank my partners from oman, bahrain, lebanon, emarates and Egypt and of course the offscreen team.

good evening everyone im mohammed daher from lebanon. Beofre I came to the uk i though i would have problems with everyone. I couldnt imagine myself in all the places that i went to and all the people that i met. I was in a restaurant one day having my lunch and there was a woman on the same table who asked me to watch her baby for 10 minutes, i know thats boring to be a baby sitter but thats not the point. My arabic features are obvious, and before i came here i thought the people, when they will see us, would run away saying terrorist or something like that, because thats what i was asked about in my visa application. What i want to say is that we must stop the previous judgments and let the kind people of wales, scotland, london, lebanon and the world be onscreen. Thank you.

so the Offscreen girls (Aysha, Jawahir and Bashaer) decided to put on the beak’s (teacher’s) gown and do a bit of teaching in Haroon (Eton Arabic teacher) classroom!

We were in a beautiful ti-bi in the green field near the house that we live in and Robert ” a story teller” was with us in the ti-bi. He made an interview with us for the BBC radio. He asked us about the offscreen project and how did we enjoyed our trip in the different countries in UK. After that he started to tell us wonderful stories. The stories were short but we enjoyed them very very much. He said that the stories are traditional but each story teller has to use his own way of telling these stories. We all listen to him carefully because he was very good.

Yesterday we was in Manchester United club , It was wonderful and exciting . i was very happy and every body was .
