Off down to horn-tooting Edgware road and The City Circle’s Friday night talk, tonight entitled, ‘It takes two to Tawhid: Finding the right partner. I want to score the holy grail of interviews - a muslim virginity loss story. I have never seen the hall as ram-jam packed to the rafters as it was tonight. We spend an awful lot of time these days focussing on the differences between ourselves and our Muslim brothers and sisters, but in the end, are we all not just looking for the same things – love, peace and harmony? This lot certainly are. The anticipation in the room is tangible but I’m onto a loser with this one because, technically speaking, if all of these people are so keen to get married, then all of them are yet to have a ‘first time’.
I admit defeat. I do, however, take my chances with the director of The City Circle, a helpful man who sets me the challenge of a lifetime when I explain my predicament. Yes, he could put a post on the City Circle notice board requesting participants for my research. BUT, it would help my cause if I could do this without mentioning the word ‘virginity’. This should keep me busy for days.
