Documentary Maker “Qur’an” Interview
Antony Thomas made a documentary that was aired on Channel 4 early this week entitled “The Qur’an.” Many people will have formed different views regarding this programme. I, myself, only caught glimpses of this programme and the bits i did see i found quite annoying. That being said, many people have had good things to say about it.
Antony Thomas, the programme maker, is certainly an interesting person who has had a long “love for the Qur’an” that stretches back to his teenage days. Although he has this love in his heart for the Holy Qur’an he says he has never really considered converting to Islam.
I am a subscriber to the “Daily Mayo” podcast, Simon Mayo being one of my favourite radio personalities, and i was very interested to hear an interview with Antony Thomas about this documentary, his feelings towards Islam, Muslims and the Qur’an.
I found him very interesting, engaging and extremely honest in his approach to this documentary - even if i found some parts of the documentary annoying.
Have a listen to the podcast: Antony Thomas Interview
May Allah 
guide him and everyone. amin

What parts did you find annoying and why? Your post is limited in details. Also, do you know anyplace where I can download the documentary and watch it? Thanks =)
Salam Sairah
much time has passed since the documentary was shown so i’my memory is a little sketchy. Having said that, i do remember beng annoyed at the in amount of time it dealt with the need for a more modern interpretation of the Qur’an. They even interviewed non muslims who were claiming that they understand the arabic text better than the original Arabs and that in their understanding new ideas and meanings could be drawn and “old” ideas forgotten.
I think i would have to revisit the documentary for my memory to be jogged. The film is very hard to come by, it’s not on Youtube or Google video but I did find this torrent link
