Kosciusko, Mississippi, (IINA) - In a world filled with religious and cultural bigotry, American Star Oprah Winfrey aims to promote tolerance and harmony with her new TV series Belief, that explores various religious and spiritual beliefs and practices, The Express Tribune newspaper reported.
According to Oprah, the show invites viewers to witness some of the world’s most fascinating spiritual journeys through the eyes of the believers and explores humankind’s ongoing search to connect with something greater than ourselves.
In order to broadcast these practices, Oprah has filmed places and cultures far and wide, including the holy city of Makkah where Muslims go for the Hajj pilgrimage every year.
Varun Soni, Dean of Religious Life at the University of Southern California, gives an introduction to major religions. While introducing Islam, he clarifies the misconceptions about the religion including those about jihad.
Many viewers have already reacted positively to the show’s broadcast of Islamic beliefs and practices, and took to Twitter to express their views.
Hopefully, this series will continue to help clarify misconceptions and reduce the ongoing Islamophobia in the world, it was pointed out.
