Background information and notes
- The Finsbury Park Mosque was a real mosque in London, which under the imam Abu Hamza al-Masri, became reputed as a center for Islamic radicalism. In 2003, less than a year after the airing of "Day 2: 1:00pm-2:00pm," the building was raided in connection with the Wood Green ricin plot and Hamza was jailed. It is now known as the North London Central Mosque, and has a new, moderate imam and board of trustees.
- The mention of the mosque was cut from the United Kingdom airing and DVD release of Season 2.
