Remaking The World is the second program in a three-part series, The Glory and the Power, a co-production for PBS and the BBC. The series examines the ideas, actions, and passions of religious fundamentalists worldwide, in the three great monotheistic faiths - Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. Remaking The World profiles the the personal, social and political aspects of Islamic activism in Egypt, asking why people become fundamentalists, how fundamentalist communities coalesce, how they attempt to change their society, and how they view their relationships with the secular world.

Remaking the World examines the work and beliefs of Adil Hussein, a devout Muslim and newspaper editor whose paper serves as the defacto voice of the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamic movement founded in 1928 and devoted to the concept of Islamic law as a basis for modern life. Islamic activists in this program believe that a return to Islam can cure the problems of their ailing society. Hussein and his family are both traditional and modern, and insist that Islam is not in conflict with modern science and technology.

Remaking the World aired on PBS in June 1992
