100 Questions About Islam

UN Alliance of Civilizations, British Council and top US universities release timely video series: 100 Questions About Islam Debates on the role xenophobic anti-Muslim rhetoric played in influencing Anders Breivik have abounded in the aftermath of the Norway attacks. Separately, the role of Islam in democracy is being widely discussed as uprisings in the Arab world continue apace. In this context—and ahead of the ten-year anniversary of 9/11—a new and timely video series, launched by the UN Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC) and the British Council, seeks to provide insight on these and other current issues around perceptions of Islam and Muslim communities. 100 Questions About Islam aims, above all, at being a digital resource for the general public. It is a joint endeavour by the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations’ Media Program; the British Council’s Our Shared Future project, and was produced by students from the University of Missouri School of Journalism during a symposium hosted by Georgetown University’s Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding.
