Islam a faith hijacked /
"Never in history has an idea - a concept - been so widely used and yet, simultaneously, been as misunderstood as the concept of Islam. Islam is a peaceful way of life. However, in today's world, Islam is seen as anything but peaceful. So what is the 'real Islam?' What exactly does Jihad mean? And what about Holy War? Does Islam permit terrorism, suicide bombings and the killing of innocent civilians? Is Islam the violent faith that so many have attempted to paint it as, or is Islam simply a faith hijacked?"

Islam an American faith
"Islam and America. For many, these two ideas are not compatible. Many Muslims and many Americans feel that there is a great divide: that America can never reconcile with Islam; and that Muslims can never live in peace with America. This film aims to dispel such myths. It starts from a historical perspective; highlighting the fact that Muslims were already present in the "New World" prior to the coming of the Europeans. And it ends in a post 9-11 America where some are questioning their identity; whereas others are defining their American Muslim identity. This is a unique film that answers some of the most pressing questions of today's times" --Container.

Islam faith & history /
"Islam calls for the belief in only one God - the creator and master of everything. This fundamental Islamic belief is thoroughly explored in this film. Also explained is that Muslims believe that God has a purpose for each and every creation; and this meaning of life is taught to humanity through various prophets and books sent by God. The prophethood of Muhammad (peace be upon him); the Muslim holy book - the Qur'an; and various aspects of the Muslim faith, Islam, are defined within this timely documentary. Filmed in the US, and in various parts of Africa, Asia and the Middle East, this new production touches upon the faith and history of a fifth of the world's population." --Container.
