| Summary |
"The Qur’an has become one of the most ideologically influential texts in the world, but what does it actually say? And how much do Muslims and non-Muslims understand its message and history? By examining its actual text and providing comment from a wide selection of observers, award winning film-maker Antony Thomas takes us into the heart of the Muslim world - from Ayatollahs and Grand Imams to simple farmers; from women in positions of power to women living in veiled seclusion; from those who speak of its uncompromising message of peace and tolerance, to those who find justification in the text for violent conflict and suicide bombing." -- Compass website |
