I'm not sure, no matter how lavish the production, how seriously I can take a "historical" documentary that begins with an outright lie:

"[Jerusalem] Revered by muslims as the site where mohamed ascended into heaven"

Bulls**t!

Even the most rabid muslim would not make that claim; Why would a secular idiot producing a documentary do it?
Mohamed had a dream in which he "saw" the remotest place of islam, undefined further, where he was "taken" into heaven in a dream.(!)

Great way to begin a documentary. With a lie based on a drug-induced dream.
Mohamed never went anywhere near Jerusalem, and the alAqsa mosque was built at least a hundred years after the original mass murderer died!

Eh, I'm watching the first part of this disaster miniseries on CBS. It's cheesy, but they had a fun opening where Paris got whomped by tornados.

And it's got Shannon Doherty, who's a Republican.
