DVD Reviews of The Story of Islam: A History of the World's Most Misunderstood Faith

DVD Review: Find another video
Summary: 2 Stars

I'm not Muslim, and don't know as much about Islam as other reviews seem to. What I do know is that this is not a very interesting video. I got it to use with 6th graders studying the origins of Islam. I found only about a 7 minute segment which was usable in a classroom setting. The rest was very tedious and just plain boring. (I usually show 15-25 minutes of documentary video, which is all that holds their attention at that age. But it was hard to get then to sit through just 7 minutes of this.) I got rid of it after using it one year, and have ordered a PBS video on Islam which will hopefully work out better.

DVD Review: If you want to learn Islam. do some where else
Summary: 1 Stars

The video is a sole propaganda against Islam by the producton house which made it.
They dont even admit that Muhammad ( Peace be upon Him ) was a prophet.
Its totally baseless and useless effort. looks like a work of fiction then history.

DVD Review: Film with erroneous facts to tarnish Islam
Summary: 1 Stars

This is not recommended to anybody wants to know the true history of Islam with an open mind. Prophet Mohammed was an illeterate which is endorsed by all the historical facts - there is no contradiction about this. There is no way that he read the bible or anyother holy book as he was illiterate. This is a propaganda film to tarnish Islam, the only true religion of God, through media. God will surely punish whoever tarnish a true religion with all the misleading facts.

DVD Review: Hmmm strange and misleading facts!
Summary: 1 Stars

I would not recommend this video to anyone who wants to hear the truth. Mohammed never read the bible or anyother holy book as he was illiterate and coudnot read a single word, besides The Quran has alot of scientific facts that the world has just disovered, so how did Mohammed knew about it 1400 years ago?
If you want to know the real Islam, and educate yourself the right way, then this is not the documentary you wanna buy!

DVD Review: mostly propoganda by the West
Summary: 2 Stars

This pro-Islamic western account does not do Islam Justice. It doesnt examine the inner meaning of the Koran nor does it look at the true similarities between Judaism and Islam, namely burial practices, circumcision, diet and dress.

Unfortunatly the film is meant to be viewed by westerners who want to convert, it is not an objective account of a religion that totally mystifies so many.

Probably the only accurate part of the documentary is the fact that Mohomed learned religion from the Jews and Christians. Mohomed set down to create the Koran as a new new testament, building on the flaws he saw in the Jewish and Christian Faiths. THis movie explains how his intractions with Jewish and Christian tribes heped him form a theology that married both(incorporating the life of jesus but the laws of Judaism).

Unfortunatly the documentary leaves out some essential history of Islam. It doesnt discuss the controverisal elements of the Koran that command men to 'Jihad' and the parts of the Koran that are sued to justify the suppression of women. It doesnt shed light on the enslavemend and killing of non-Muslims.

All in all this documentary lake almost all the ones that you can find is biased and not accurate, better to go buy some books on the subject.
