Life of the Prophet - why the bad press from some of you?

[BlackVelvet]

Are you upset that there are Jewish, Christian and non-Muslim professors and historians sharing their views in the documentary?

I personally am impressed at how balanced it all is. They have pushed the envolope by presenting all the different views that people have on such an important figure and the events that shaped Islam. Having on people who share harsh and negative views on controversial subjects (which is what a lot of non-Muslims are thinking) and then presenting educated and eloquent responses to those comments gives the whole documentary a balanced feel. There is at least 2 sides to every stroy so hear it all and only then reach your conclusion is the message the viewer gets and to a non-Muslim audience that is a great start.

Exactly How I feel.


Imagine if all the commentators were bearded Muslim imams....... I would highly suspect non muslim viewers would feel it would be slightly biased

Balanced? Kulaha.

Islam is not the religion for Kafirs so its not fair if they gave account to something they had bias towards it in the beginning.

So whats next in your balanced view?
