The
events of Sept. 11 left many Americans questioning how such atrocities could be
perpetrated in the name of religion — specifically, the religion of Islam.
Yet even as US opinion polls reflect a collective sense of mistrust toward a
religion that few Americans know much about, Islam continues to be the
fastest-growing religion in the United States today. What is Islam? What do
Muslims believe in? And how does their faith shape their lives, their
identities, and their political ideologies. Muslims explores these and other questions in this examination of the fundamental tenets of Islam and the causes behind its current worldwide resurgence. Through interviews with dozens of ordinary Muslims from such diverse countries as Iran, Malaysia, Turkey, and the United States, FRONTLINE illuminates the perspectives, conflicts, and tensions that are shaping today's Muslim world. |
