BBC Documentary: The Frankinsense Trail


Series in which intrepid presenter Kate Humble follows the ancient frankincense trade route of Arabia across the amazing modern world of the Middle East. Kate's journey along the 2,000-mile trail that first connected the Arab world with the West takes her on a quest that's steeped in history, searing with desert heat, and full of characters and adventure. For 3,000 years before the birth of Christ, frankincense was more valuable than gold. Its sweet smelling aromatic smoke was treasured by Pharaohs and Caesars, and their insatiable demand for frankincense created a trade route from the southern coast of Oman to the Holy Lands. Vast camel caravans carried thousands of tonnes of frankincense over tribal lands - known today as Oman, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, Israel and Palestine. Following the trail across these seven nations, Kate finds modernity coexisting with ancient traditions as she discovers what it means to be a Western woman in Arabia.

Mo Ansar on Tommy Robinson and EDL Documentary

Mo Ansar
BBC: An unlikely pairing saw the English Defence League (EDL) founder and former leader with prominent British Muslim Mo Ansar, who wants the group banned, in a BBC One documentary on Monday.

Mr Ansar told Jo Coburn that Tommy Robinson was a "complex character", and also that there were "soft sides to Tommy, although his rhetoric has been disturbing".

She also asked him about equality - women's rights and [and] gay rights - slavery and cutting the hands off thieves.

And Labour MP Jack Straw joined in to talk about women wearing the veil and the grooming of white girls for sex by Muslim men. [Source: BBC] | Tuesday, October 29, 2013
