Focus on Faith

Available for over a year

How much does recent local religious tension in Egypt between Muslims and Coptic Christians reflect the situation across the whole country? Violence between Christians and Muslims has also broken out in Indonesia's Moluccan Islands, where up to 2,000 people are reported to have been killed. Also in this programme, how satsang, an ancient form of Hindu worship, is attracting a modern audience; and the growing trade in stolen Islamic art in Turkey.
