Great British Islam : BBC Documentary

Most people think that Islam came to the country during the 60's when Muslims immigrated from their homelands. Nothing could be further from the truth. There were a number of Victorian English gentlemen who embraced Islam, even when it was dangerous to do so.

This video shows what an inspiration Islam was to them and how it transformed them to be a positive force in society, not just couped up in rituals like the Muslims of today.

This documentary tells the little-known story of three English gentlemen who embraced Islam at a time when to be a Muslim was to be seen to be a traitor to your country. Through personal journeys of still surviving relatives, the programme looks at their achievements and how their legacy lives on today.





Re-Launching Soon
