Life of Muhammad Blu-ray

This is the extraordinary story of a man who, in little more than 20 years, changed the world forever. In a journey that is both literal and historical, host Rageh Omaar retraces the footsteps of the Prophet, from his humble beginnings in Mecca to his struggles with accepting his Prophetic role; from his flight to Medina to his subsequent military and political successes and failures-through to his death and his legacy. 1) The Seeker: This film examines Muhammad's birth and early life, his first marriage to Khadijah, and how he received the first of the revelations that so profoundly affected both his life and the lives of those closest to him. 2) Holy Wars: Omaar shines a light on key events in Muhammad's life, including the Night Journey to Jerusalem, his life-threatening departure from Mecca, the establishment of the Constitution of Medina that recognizes the rights of all people (Jews, Christians, and pagan tribes) living in that city, and the war with the Meccan tribes, with implications on the world today. 3) Holy Peace: The final film investigates key events during the later part of the Prophet's life, including the introduction of a moral code known as sharia and the concept of jihad, explores Muhammad's use of marriage to build alliances, and looks at the key messages included in his final sermon.

Has anyone seen this?

I have seen it on DVD. Its a good documentary. However its not historically completely accurate. Some critics who doesn't know much criticize some actions taken by prophet Muhammad (PBUH) which being a Muslim I know they were important decisions to make. But this movie is a must see for people who think Islam is a terrorist religion and they also clear the meaning of Jihad too.

Being a PBS production, I'd suggest you're likely to come out of it with more misconceptions than going in, in reference to the last paragraph of review.

Does it give an honest coverage of his pedophilia?

[White Dang]

I'd be interested to know if it covers pedophilia, as well as the law of killing apostates, why women are so sexualized (having four wives plus sex with slaves, 72 virgins for the good men, etc) or the eventual burning of various copies of the book to insure only one version existed.

I'll watch it if it does, cause I'm always interested in a documentary that goes beyond the candy coated surface.
