Living Islam

on BBC Two England

Last in this series exploring what it means to be a Muslim in the modern world.
The Last Crusade? While the west lives in fear of an Islamic jihad (holy war), Muslims believe that it is they who are being persecuted - by hostile armies in some countries, by their own governments in others, by the western media everywhere. From Bosnia to
Algeria, from Egypt to Nigeria, Muslims believe they face a new crusade and prepare themselves to oppose it.
In his last programme Akbar Ahmed offers the voice of moderation which has always been at the heart of Islam. He argues that the majority of Muslims want to live their lives in peace, but the more they feel their faith is under attack, the more angry and violent their reaction will be.
