While looking for some interesting items to add to Islam and Science Fiction blog, I came across this (old) post from the BBC called “Close encounters of the Arab kind“. An interesting short piece on science fiction and Muslims.

Take a read of the post over on the BBC website – I’ve linked to it in the title of the article (on the site).

The image shown (from the BBC website) is by Murat Palta who is an illustrator based in Turkey, you can see his portfolio on Behance. I was especially drawn to his portfolio “Classic Movies in Miniature Style” where he has redrawn classics like A Clockwork Orange, Alien, Scarface, and even Terminator II. A very talented individual.
