Topic: War: On the Rise Everywhere This show looks at how war is growing in many parts of the world. Countries are spending more on weapons, and the cost of war and violence is now close to $20 trillion. We show how the world is forgetting the lessons of the past and how this puts everyone in danger. We also explore what Islam teaches about justice, forgiveness, and mercy after war. These values offer a way to end the cycle of conflict and build lasting peace.
