The Caliphate in the Countryside - Your Questions Answered

Over to You

Available for over a year

The Caliphate in the Countryside takes a closer look at the Ahmadiyya Community through the lens of the Jalsa Salana – a three day festival designed to reinvigorate the faith. The Ahmadiyya preach against violent Muslims and criticise extremism but are outcasts within their own faith and often persecuted and ostracised across the world. After hearing the documentary some of you were compelled to get in touch with your comments and questions, so we invited presenter - producer, Athar Ahmad to answer them. Also, with hundreds of thousands of Rohingya Muslims fleeing Myanmar to Bangladesh, a humanitarian crisis has been declared. The BBC World Service is covering this complex situation but how well is it doing? You give us your views.
