Rageh Omaar recently presented a three-part series The Life of Muhammad on BBC2. It is presumably still available on BBC iplayer. I found his attempt to justify the killing of the Jewish men after the siege of Medina unduly apologetic but the series as a whole is interesting and an easy introduction to the subject.
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
