Actually there has been a real effort of late to bring the bible closer to it's original form - so there have been interesting new translations from the greek bible (considered the most accurate in use) and of course everyone wants access to the dead sea scrolls which are the most accurate.

What's the deal with the dead sea scrolls?

BBC Four will debate the issues raised in the film Battle for Islam, screened on 5 Sept[/b]

Zeinab Badawi hosts a discussion programme exploring what the future holds for Islam both in the UK and around the world.

Will militant extremism win? Or are other more peaceful modes of existence possible?

A panel of Islamic experts will scrutinise an optimistic, moderate vision of the future put forward by the writer Ziauddin Sardar in his BBC Two programme Battle for Islam.

In the film, Sardar travels to five Muslim countries: Turkey, Pakistan, Morocco, Indonesia and Malaysia.

However weary you think you are of programmes tracing the roots of terrorism, you should drop everything and watch this film.

The story of how the Muslim world fell out with the West, broadly dating from the defeat of the Ottoman Empire in 1918 and the colonial carve-up that followed, is a sad one, with tumultuous consequences.

But to have the twists and turns and ironies of that story laid out with such clarity and insight by top historians is strangely inspiring, perhaps because of the fog of prejudice that usually bedevils both sides.

Who watches this guy on Geo TV?

Some members of my family seem to be really impressed and bowled over by him. At first I thought he was just some really camp TV scholar. But he turns out to be one controversial geezer.

He is Dr. Aamir Liaquat. But apparently he purchased his phd from an online 'university'.

I've received yet another chain email. On top of chain letters and chain texts. What's next, chain mp3s for your MD player? :roll:

There were about 100 email addresses in that email. So I replied to all of them and directed them to this webpage .

I won't bore you with the rest of it but this how the chain email concluded:

Just split the topic as I was experiencing a few glitches with the topic, and this should solve them.
