Via the Independent (h/t London Muslim):
The BBC is to trace the journey of the Islamic prophet Muhammad for a new series which is claimed to be a first for British television.
Al Jazeera reporter Rageh Omaar will present the three-part programme for BBC2, following in the prophet's footsteps from Mecca and along the journeys he took during his life.
To ensure the programmes are in line with Islamic tradition, they will not depict the face of Muhammad or feature dramatic reconstructions of his life.
