About this film

The second episode on Islam is based on the social teaching of that religion. From the beginning Islam was intensely concerned with social issues, Dr. Smith points out. Eight of the religions precepts deal with interpersonal relationships such as taxation, banning of usury, inheritance laws and exclusion of rights to unearned money.
