Strauss's operatic version of the events surrounding the death of John the Baptist brilliantly contrasts the purity of the Baptist with the sensual decadence of Herod's court and includes the famous Dance of the Seven Veils

A series of six films, showing various aspects of traditional Islamic civilisation, and made as part of last year's World of Islam Festival. 5: Knowledge of the World
The film shows the large and beautiful colleges in which advanced teaching took place, and which led to the establishment of what are probably the oldest universities in the world, such as that of Al Ahzar in Cairo. Two other important institutions also passed from Islam to Europe; the observatory and the hospital. Islam's contribution to medicine was particularly great, and today an interesting revival of traditional Islamic medicine is taking place in Pakistan.
