Inside the Koran (2008)

Inside the Koran is a brave and intelligent documentary on how Islam is interpreted and practiced by Muslims in different countries and provides deep insight on the subject such as how is living inside the hijap for a Muslim woman, how is Sharia (Islamic law) practiced together with modern day bureaucracy or what does the Qur'an say about crime and punishment?

The vital portion of the program is the analysis of some layers of the oldest Qur'an ever. Even orthodox Muslims believe that the Qur'an is the ultimate and unchanging word of God. However the truth is totally different. These ancient texts do not contain distinguishing dots which mean individual words can have thirty different meanings. Moreover forensic examinations revealed the earlier texts that have been washed off and overwritten. In a nutshell the written Qur'an shows variation, words have been changed, verses and whole chapters rearranged.

After watching this stunning documentary, you may never look at the Islam same way again, if you are a moderate and rational believer.
