Empires of Faith

Well, to think that they teach you much in History, it's certainly not enough. Over the passed week, I've bumped into this documentary called " The Empires of Faith " that was one of the most fascinating programs that I've ever seen. It covered Islam's history, and the history of the Middle-East. For approximately 3 hours, I was sitting there mesmerized in the film, watching the time line and history unraveling. The fall of the Islamic estate was due to the Mongols, they burned the libraries of Baghdad, and destroyed too much. Though them converting into the religion, and well, trying to build something again, didn't quite return the entity to it's stature. The film is long, it covered quite a few eras, and was quite interesting.

Khalidah posted something on this topic just a few days ago, Who controlled the Middle East - if you've found that interesting, then have a look for the film.
