Episode 27. The Theme for this show is ‘Persecution’. And in the next half an hour you will get to hear a five poem of different styles of poetry from people on this theme. There are some people, tribes, communities, all around the world which are being persecuted for different reasons, quite often because they are seen as weaker or a threat of some kind, whether the threat is religion, caste, ethnicity, their social status or the colour of their skin. And we witness this being continually repeated throughout history by people, groups, countries and nations in some way or form. Strangely enough, all of the poems I received on this theme focused on the persecution on Muslims, however I hope this show will give you a small example of the pain felt by some of those being persecuted, and perhaps even move you, or allow you to see the whole of mankind with a more compassionate heart, regardless of who they are. The first poem is from the very talented poet Sister Faiza Kiran, a truly poetical jewel with her inspiring poem from Hartlepool, titled Paradise Lost. The next poem is quite specifically about the persecution of Ahmadi Muslims, from a wonderful poetical star the acclaimed poet Zafar Bhatti from the midlands in Leamington Spa with his poem titled ‘The Silent Voice’. This is then followed by another poet also from the Midlands, from the aspiring young Sabahat Ahmad, full of talent who reads his wonderful poem titled Sunset with such admirable gallant and paints the grim reality of those being persecuted. A wonderful poem is next, about the treatment of Muslims in Palestine, a story of the bondage of its subjects by those bringing closer its frontline, from an Imam, Mansoor Clarke who is a Missionary of Islam, with his very moving poem that which would make any human very emotional. The final poem is from the acclaimed poet Muddabir Khalid who brings an inspiring style on the dire persecution of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community who are being forced to live in a state of exile, being put to trial, without release, living a life in exile for their beliefs.

Episode 2. This episode will serve as an introduction to the concept of FoRB. 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 36. Everyone agrees that China’s rise and transformation over the last few decades has been absolutely amazing. Napoleon had once remarked about China “Let her sleep, for when she wakes she will shake the world”. It seems China has re-awakened, and it is making its presence being felt all around the world. When we look at the overall recorded history of the world, which goes back several thousand years, Asia has been the most important region of the world. For nearly two thousand years, until the mid-1800s, China, and India, were the biggest economies of the world. In many ways the last 200 years of European dominance have been an aberration. Human civilisations and nations are like living organisms, they have life cycles. Some evolve into new nations and cultures and some totally disappear from the face of the globe. China represents a large nation and a civilisation, which has gone through several cycles and has had many ups and downs. China is the only ancient civilisation to fall down several times and rise again to enter the modern world. One of the most important distinguishing features of China is that it is a civilisational state, unlike many other states in the world. For about two and a half thousand years there has been a Chinese nation using a Chinese language. China has had a continuing experience of civilisation rivalled in duration only by that of ancient Egypt. Dr Mohammed Iqbal the host of Living History will explore the rich history of China in a four part programme with his panelists Arif Ahmed and Yousaf Aftab. This is Part 3 of this 4 Part series, which will cover the Great Ming dynasty which replaced the Mongol Yuan dynasty and finished off with the Qing dynasty which eventually capitulated to the European powers bringing imperial rule to an end.
