Remember the fuss when Zara Adams said she wanted to be the first Muslim Bond Girl?
David Lister makes an interesting point that with the Spooks seeking to engage with the Muslim community why not show you don't just have to be a white bloke to fight extremism by choosing a Muslim James Bond.
While I accept that asking for a still mineral water shaken not stirred might take a bit of getting used to nevertheless, London Muslim believes a Muslim James Bond fighting radicalism and extremism would have more impact than an ageing Muslim rocker singing a few songs.
It would be interesting to see a muslim James Bond.
ReplyDeleteOthers have pointed out that the name is merely a code term for an MI6 agent, rather than a specific individual. In 21st century Britain it would be interesting to see someone non-traditional (ie. Muslim) working against terrorism and evil.
What do British muslims think? Could/would they see someone of the islamic faith working for British authorities to protect the nation as reasonable and/or plausible?
