Dir: Parvez Sharma USA/UK/France/Germany/Australia. 2007. 81mins
Filmed over six years in twelve countries, A Jihad For Love compiles personal stories that illuminate the bitter struggles of lesbians andgay men to reconcile their homosexuality with their Muslim faith. The film presents itself as a modest first step in attempting to foster a rational debate over a taboo subject. It presents the facts of individual cases but also looks for signs of hope or change among those who would only advocate a hard line interpretation of the Qur'an.

Centered in Baghdad, just down the street from where ISIS is occupying large areas of Iraq, the Abbasid caliphate was centuries ahead of Mr. Baghdadi’s backward-looking cohorts. Abbasid society during its heyday thrived on multiculturalism, science, innovation, learning and culture — in pointed contrast to ISIS’ forceful puritanism. The irreverent court poet of the
