We, Discover Islam, have produced six documentaries on Islam. The purpose of these documentaries is to dispel the most popular misconceptions about Islam and portray it, and American Muslims, as part of the American mainstream. A set of these videos can be made available to every Islamic center and student organization in North America. Sets could also be distributed to Public libraries, schools, churches and civic organizations. The format of these videos enables any Muslim community to quickly and efficiently disseminate information about Islam, with particular attention to the audience and issues being addressed.

Each film has been professionally produced (comparable to some of the good documentaries one might find on PBS or Discovery Channel) and includes interviews of well known scholars like Sheikh Hamza Yusuf, Professor John Esposito, Dr. Abdullah Hakim Quick , Dr. Umar Faruk Abdallah, Sister Lisa Killinger and Imam Jowhari Abdelmalik amongst many others. Also interviewed are numerous active Muslims and a variety of church leaders across the US.

In addition to the video series, a companion booklet is being produced for every documentary and a support website designed to provide further information and closure to those who seek more than just the video and booklet. The individual documentaries (and their accompanying booklets) are as follows:

Women in Islam
Apart from terrorism, Women – their status and rights in Islam are some of the most commonly raised issues by non-Muslims. This 24 minute film ably addresses the esteemed position, rights, responsibilities and roles that Muslim women have in an Islamic society.

African Americans & Islam
African Americans make up over a third of the Muslims in America. This film captures their history – starting from the time of the Prophet in Makkah to their inhumane enslavement and systematic removal of religion; touching on their struggles over the centuries, the civil rights movement and Malcolm X; and on to the present times. Just over half an hour long, this film chronicles the Islamic spirit that resides within the African American community. Click here for a preview.
