The destruction of the Bamiyan Buddhas

Focus on Faith

Available for over a year

A wave of outrage follows the Taliban's destruction of Buddha statues in Bamiyan Afghanistan. Also, Egypt's Coptic Christian church looks back on a decade of persecution, but can it now feel safe and self-confident. Plus, space, time and mystery- an ordinary church gives up its extraordinary meanings; and Muslim women look to a religious law for re-marriage.
