- Synopsis
- Feature-length documentary from director Antony Thomas, attempting to analyse and demystify what the central religious text of Islam says about issues such as equality, punishment, peace, faith and suicide bombing, and how the text is interpreted in such vastly different ways by religious communities throughout the Muslim world. The programme also meets some of those who look to the Qur’an for understanding in their lives, from Grand Ayatollahs to peasant farmers, and hears from several of the leading Islamic thinkers across the world
