Islam:
Empire of Faith
PBS mini-series narrated by Academy Award-winning actor Ben Kingsley, airs
on PBS Tuesday, May 8, 2001, 8:00 p.m. ET (check

great sweep of Islamic power and faith during its first 1,000 years — from
the birth of the prophet Muhammad to the peak of the Ottoman Empire under the
reign of Suleyman the Magnificent. Historical re-enactments and a remarkable
exposition of Islamic art, artifacts and architecture are combined with
interviews with scholars to recount the rise of early Islamic civilization.
