- (Living Islam series, Part 1) The collapse of Communism has left two major ideologies competing for allegiance in the world's population: Western Democracy and Islam. Yet while the modern world knows well the terror of the fanatical elements of the Muslim religion, how much do Westerners understand about the motives, attitudes and beliefs of Islam? Introduces the essentials of Islam. The tenets of faith are deeply woven around the life of Muhammad, the Prophet of Allah. In the dunes of Timbuktu a living saint converts pagan villagers to Islam in the exact manner of Muhammad. And across the world, as the Prophet did in his time, Muslims learn to balance din (religion) and dunya (life). (Donated by the Department of Anthropology)
