About This Book
Yasmin Sheikh feels torn in the city she used to call home, but Aisha sees a different London to her best friend. When Yasmin suddenly disappears to Syria, Aisha embarks on a mission to uncover the truth and decide whether there is any hope in Yasmin's new-found world. First conceived in 2016 after being cast in roles as a 'jihadi bride' or 'terrorist girlfriend' and generally dissatisfied with the narrative being told, Nyla Levy ran research workshops with school children and interviewed muslim community leaders as well as terrorism defence solicitor Tasnime Akunjee. The result voices the complexities of the choices made by disaffected youth, their vulnerability, and how the decisions made can changes lives, communities and countries forever. With fierce wit and disarming honesty, Does My Bomb Look Big in This? cleverly unveils a human story behind the headlines and questions how close or far we are from multicultural harmony.

Scene One
Results Day â 18 August 2016
Lights down on stage: BBC News intro music begins playing.
News Reporter enters, prepares to go live. Vocal warm-up. TV pout face etc.
News ReporterGood morning, and thank you for joining us today as the nation wakes up on GCSE results day. This is a monumental day which hundreds and thousands of students across the UK have been waiting for. But one student who wonât be collecting her results today is Yasmin Sheikh, the schoolgirl who has caused quite some controversy in recent weeks, with the Home Secretary dubbing her âTerror Babyâ.
As you can see I am outside her school, Mitcham High, who have refused to comment on the situation. There is a noticeable police presence today. However, the general atmosphere here, as her peers begin to gather, is filled with the usual anticipation and excitement of any other school on results day. But the question still remains: will Yasmin Sheikh, the South London schoolgirl, be coming home?
Aisha enters and finds her envelope on the table.
News ReporterWeâll be reporting back within the hour. Until then, back to you in the studio.
News Reporter takes earpiece out.
