Can you recommend any books, movies, t.v. shows that offer a positive example of Islam and its adherants?
I'm interested in learning more about the Middle East and Islam and would like suggestions of quality material.
As an informational sideline I've already read the Qur'an.
I live in the United States so I'm not sure I will have access to all your sincere suggestions but I will try to obtain them.
