Adisa Banjoko speaks on the history of Islamic contributions to world civilization. He then asks the question if Islamic reformation is what is needed, or if authentic implementation is the true solution. This was filmed at the ICNE 20th annual conference at Brown University.

However, just thought I would drop you a line about a couple of other arts. I do Xin Yi Liuhe (different to Xing Yi) which is a "Muslim" art. Although it is not Muslim in origin it was preserved in a Muslim line which genuinely needed it for self defence in China. For this reason it was kept closer to its original state, where as the non-muslim line evolved into other (imo less effective) arts.
Also,my teacher teachers another art called Baji which I believe is Muslim in origin.

I am not 100% sure but I have never heard of Chin Na being Muslim in origin. Chin Na is usually a complement to striking and is in Shaolin, Wu Dang and most forms of Kung Fu. In fact I haven't heard of Muslim Chin Na (not to say there isn't any).
