Well-done and very informative program on Islam by THE HISTORY CHANNEL, the premier source for historical documentaries. Features extensive interviews with leading Islamic scholars. Trace its roots back to the Hebrew Bible and discover how the Five Pillars, Islam's central tenets, helped spread Islam to the far corners of the world. Find out what the Qur'an says about war, violence, and suicide, and how these words have been co-opted by extremists. Learn about classical Arab Islam, and hear from experts like Khaled Abou el Fadl ("speaking in God's Name") who debate the challenges facing Islam today, including a crisis of authority and deep divisions among Islam's many sects.
