Compass – Tomorrow’s Islam (2003)

Synopsis

From New York to London and Paris, this program examines how Western Muslims are taking the lead in finding new ways to deal with some of the most pressing issues for 21st century Islam.

Curator’s notes

Compass is the weekly program of the ABC’s Religion and Ethics Unit. In a world where Muslims are increasingly depicted as fanatics and fundamentalists, Compass provides an opportunity to re-humanise the stereotype and remind us that there are many people within Islam who are peace loving and accepting of other faiths.
