Some points I can think of:
- it may be good in the sense that people get to listen to the
thoughts of a lady wearing veil. I pray that her
message is one of understanding and tolerance. People will then be
less afraid of ladies in veil. In a sense the audience will get to know
the person behind the veil. Understanding is the weapon against
prejudice.
- on the other hand we do not celebrate Christmas, so is she correct
to deliver a Christmas message? Well I suppose one could argue that
just because she is giving a message on Christmas does not mean she
celebrates it. It is the audience she is after. Christians tend to be
more receptive at this time of year.
- yet also, some people may be outraged that a lady in veil is telling
them what to do on Christmas. They might think that their 'way of
life' is threatened by outsiders. But then too if they actually listen
to what she has to say, they may 'cool down'.
Please pray that this sister gives a well balanced message to the non-Muslims.
I hope it brings more good than bad.

It seems that the sister has decided to pull out.

This was aired after all. I only caught the end of it but it seemed to be a good message overall.
There isn't much available on it on the net at the moment, but expect there will be in the next few days. Even Channel Fours website doesn't have it yet.
