Muslims

Muslims

The events of September 11th left many Americans asking how such atrocities could be perpetrated in the name of religion: specifically, Islam. Award-winning producers Alvin H. Perlmutter and Anisa Mehdi take an in-depth look at what it means to be a Muslim in the 21st century.

Filmed in Egypt, Malaysia, Iran, Turkey, Nigeria, and the United States, Muslims explores Islam's kinship with Christianity and Judaism in the sharing of prophets and principles, and seeks to illustrate the huge diversity of religious practices and interpretations of law that exist among Muslims themselves.
