Movie Reviews of Frontline - Muslims
Movie Review: A documentary about contemporary Muslims
Summary: 4 Stars
"Muslims" is a 2002 documentary about the diverse ways of being a Muslim today. I've used excerpts from it in teaching world religions to undergraduates and high school students.
It consists mostly of stories of individual Muslims from around the world, including an Egyptian sheikh, an Iranian ayatollah, some Turkish students, a Turkish politician, a Malaysian obstetrician, a Malaysian woman seeking a divorce, several Nigerians, the principal of a Muslim school in the U.S., an African-American convert to Islam, and an advisor to the Iranian president. Along the way, the video addresses various issues in contemporary Islam, such as the fallout of Western colonialism in Muslim countries, Islamic law, women in Islam, Islamism, Islam and democracy, interpretation of the Qur'an, terrorism, and being a religious minority in the U.S.
Some other good videos on Islam:
- "Inside Islam" (History Channel);
- "The Message," a movie about the life of Muhammad;
- "Inside Mecca" (National Geographic);
- "Secrets of the Koran" (History Channel).
