The opening of season 3 is dedicated to the history and legacy of Islamic Jerusalem with Professor Suleiman Mourad. What does it mean Islamic? How did Jerusalem become an Islamic city and how was the city transformed after the 9th century conquest by Muslim armies? With Suleiman we discussed these questions but more importantly we looked at how the various historical layer of Jewish Jerusalem, Christian Jerusalem and Islamic Jerusalem have been combined together throughout the centuries. As Suleiman has been involved in a number of documentaries, we discussed the potential and difficulties to tell the story of Jerusalem through this medium, one that can spread easily information around the world, but also simplify the complex history of the city. Originally published 04/06/2022Welcome to Jerusalem Unplugged Podcast.
