It will focus on the origins of FoRB, The origins of the concept of freedom of expression, freedom of religion in history & how it has evolved over time, the relevance it has played in history and where the key changes occurred historically to the rights of FoRB. In particular, we will focus on the early years of FoRB: The Romans tolerated most religions, including Judaism, and encouraged local subjects to continue worshipping their own gods. They did not however, tolerate Christianity until it was legalised by the Roman emperor Galerius in 311. Holmes and Bickers note that as long as Christianity was treated as a part of Judaism it enjoyed the same freedom, but the Christian claim to religious exclusivity meant its followers found themselves subject to hostility. The early Christian apologist Tertullian was the first-known writer referring to the term libertas religionis. The Edict of Milan guaranteed freedom of religion in the Roman Empire until the Edict of Thessalonica in 380, which outlawed all religions except Christianity. Following a period of fighting lasting around a hundred years before 620 AD which mainly involved Arab and Jewish inhabitants of Medina (then known as Yathrib), religious freedom for Muslims, Jews and pagans was declared by Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessing of Allah be upon him) in the Constitution of Medina. In early Muslim history (until mid 11th century), most Islamic scholars maintained a level of separation from the state which helped to establish some elements of institutional religious freedom. The Islamic Caliphate later guaranteed religious freedom under the conditions that non-Muslim communities accept dhimmi status and their adult males pay the jizya tax instead of the zakat paid by Muslim citizens.

Episode 69. Theory of Knowledge. Part I. How Do We Know? The main question in Theory of Knowledge is “How do we know?” and thus we naturally spend some time talking about the nature of knowledge. In the first part of this series, we ask ourselves: What is knowledge? How does knowledge differ from belief? What is the difference between knowledge, information and wisdom? More importantly, what are the ways of knowing? In Theory of Knowledge, there are four ways of knowing, which we would like to explore here perception, language, reason and emotion. If we take any one thing that claim to know and we ask ourselves how we know it, we could potentially trace it back to one of these four sources: either we saw it, heard it or we read it, we reasoned through it or we have an instinctive feeling that it is true. Of course, none of these ways are infallible and are in many ways a double edged in that they can be a source and an obstacle to it. In the first of this series, we take a look at each of these knowledge tools and consider the extent to which they can be relied on to make sense of the world.

Episode 57. Devotion. Faith in Focus travels through mosques and monasteries, temples and synagogues in order to explore the concept of ‘life devotion’ across faiths. From ‘taking the cloth’ in Christianity to the bhikkhus and bhikkhunis* of Buddhism to the rabbis of Judaism and the Imams of Islam, we look into the different ways in which men and women of faith devote their lives to their religion. Does devotion entail a life of seclusion in the cloisters of a monastery? Or does it mean preaching the Word of God? Or is it the ascetic in the wilderness who is the truest devotee of the Lord? We speak to individuals who have chosen to devote themselves to their faiths and ask what life devotion means in the 21st century.

Episode 59. Friendship. In this programme we will be taking a closer look at friendship, its various forms and facets, and its impact on our spiritual growth. Why does man spend so much of his life trying to develop meaningful friendships? How does true friendship manifest itself? "Allah is the friend of those who believe. He brings them out of every kind of darkness into light…" (Holy Qur'an 2:258) Becoming "Wali-ullah" or a "friend of Allah" is a goal that Muslims aspire to, but what does friendship with our Creator entail and how is it achieved? Some would say that the path to friendship with The Almighty begins with being a good friend and companion to His creation. There is no doubt that friends play a central role in many people's lives, but how important is it to have the "right" friends, and how have friendships evolved throughout the history of civilisation?
