Overview

This documentary tells of a cultural empire that dominated a millennium, encompassed half the world and shaped history. Between the fall of Rome and the European voyages of discovery, no event was more significant than the rise of Islam.

Within the span of a few centuries, the Islamic empires blossomed, projecting their power from Africa to the East Indies and from Spain to India. This political and religious expansion has not been equalled in speed, geographic size and endurance before or since.

This is a wonderfully produced documentary with very well educated, articulate, and informed spekers. It is clear that the people who have been interviewd have thoroughly studied Islam and are able to educate us with their authoritative comments. A must see documentary.

Having seen a number of documentaries on topics related to Islam I have to say this is one of the better ones. It tends to get mediocre reviews simply because people are not used to seeing or hearing anything positive about Islam. It tends to irk them when they don't hear strong criticism along with a smattering of praise.
