The Islamic wave

Rising above the myths and misinformation surrounding Islam, one fact is clear: the Muslim religion is growing as never before.

Featuring commentary by General Pervez Musharraf, Qazi Hussain Ahmad, Dr. Hasan al-Turabi, and other key figures, the balanced documentary provides background on the world's second-largest religion, examines Islam's increasing popularity, and considers the use of violence by Muslim extremists to attain their goals.
