Did any one watch the programme about the quran and islam on channel 4 last night?

Question

how informative did you find it?

how different were your ideas/ views compared to that?

Answer 1

I watched it 8.30 - 9.15.

I always think that sort of programme is going to be informative. but I find the dleivery of information is slow. I prefer to read about a subject now. The length of the prog was 2 hours. I can read a lot in that time, and summarise the key points on a piece of paper, all within 2 hours. I will have a much deeper understanding from reading. And I will remember far more than a prog.

Also I am a little suspicious about TV programmes since so many of them have been caught out misrepresenting information.

Answer 2

I am not remotely interested in Islam and the Quran, therefore did not watch it.

Answer 3

I watched it, and i did find some things annoying, particularly sexist remarks it made about Islam, such as women are hidden away in the mosque since they are considered a distraction, I think they gave a completly wrong point of view, its from both ways that they are a distraction, not just for men, so some things were annoying and other parts did portray Islam as good and succesful, such as the inventions of alebra, geometry and trignonometry during the Golden Age of Islam.
