Traveling to Saudi Arabia, he visits Arabian bedouins to hear their orthodox Islamic accounts of the religion's origins. Holland then talks to Seyyed Hossein Nasr, a practising Muslim who teaches Islamic studies at the George Washington University, Washington D.C., and Patricia Crone, a non-Muslim historian of Islamic history at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton.

Two fathers have lost their sons to a radical Islamist movement whose growth is enabled by naïve and misguided political correctness, willful ignorance, and simple cowardice. Carlos Bledsoe, born and raised in an African American Baptist family, firebombed a rabbi's house and then killed Pvt. Andy Long outside an Army recruiting office in Little Rock, Arkansas. Carlos becomes a jihadist through his connections to radical mosques and Imams in Nashville, as part of a problem that is being ignored—or facilitated—by local civic and religious leaders and the media; whose politically correct views blind Americans to a truth that few dare engage.

Solomon is a wise prophet selected as the crown prince by his father King David (Dawud in Islamic texts) when he was 9. Following Prophet David's death, Solomon succeeds to the crown and God appoints him as a prophet. Requesting from God the establishment of a divine kingdom, Solomon takes the wind under his command and jinns and demons under his control. Inviting rulers of the neighbouring lands to the monotheistic religion, Prophet Solomon continues his divine mission in as much as Balqis, the Queen of Sheba professes monotheism. At the end, while leaning on his cane, Solomon bids farewell to the world, and the jinns and demons get out of reign and return to their own world.

Actors Zrinka Cvitešić, Leon Lučev, Luna Mijović, Mirjana Karanović, Nina Violic, Vanessa Glodjo

Luna and Amar are a young Bosnian couple living in Sarajevo. Both have traumatic memories from the Bosnian War of the 1990s. Luna had seen her parents killed by an anti-Muslim militia in Bijeljina, and had come to Sarajevo with her grandparents as a child refugee. Amar had served as a soldier in the war and lost his brother. At present, however, they have apparently built up a successful life - she as an air hostess with B&H Airlines, he as an air traffic controller at the Sarajevo International Airport. When she comes back from a flight they make love passionately and go to have a good time at a local nightclub. Though identifying as "Muslims" in the context of Bosnia's ethnic set-up, religion plays no part in their life. In fact, Amar drinks alcohol a bit too much - which is forbidden by Islam - and it is this which begins to put their relationship under strain.
