Shia Muslims complain over Channel 4 Qu’ran documentary

By Dominic wireposts

Channel Four has attracted criticism from a group of Shia Muslim scholars over its documentary The Qur’an.

In a letter to Channel Four, The Guardian reports, that they call the programme “disappointing, misleading and even defamatory”. The programme dealt with claims that some Shia beliefs are seen as heretical by other Muslims.

The Shia scholars have complained that they feel they were not given the chance to challenge the points made about their faith.
