Magicians and Mystics. In an effort to smash the West's monolithic view of Islam, Tim Mackintosh-Smith follows in the footsteps of 14th Century Moroccan scholar Ibn Battutah, who covered 75,000 miles, 40 countries and three continents in a 30-year odyssey. In Turkey, Tim watches an illegal whirling dervish ceremony, and in the Taurus mountains he meets the last of the Turkoman nomads. He chats to Tatars in Crimea, while in Delhi he watches a Muslim magician performing the Indian rope trick.BTW in islam it is forbidden to carry out any forms of magic whether black or light also worshipping of graves is prohibited but these subjects are yet unexplored or dont have enough evidence for or against.
