Do what we say, or else…
Via THR:
Oscar-winning composer A. R. Rahman and Iranian director Majid Majidi have been issued a fatwa by a Muslim group who have objected to their film Muhammad: Messenger of God.
The Iranian film is the first of a planned trilogy on the life of Prophet Muhammad. According to reports, Mumbai-based Raza Academy objected to the film, stating, “It is nothing short of a crime to make a film on the Prophet, dramatizing his life and using non-Muslim actors… Making such a film is making a mockery of religion.”
The group is also demanding a ban on the film in India. A fatwa is a Muslim legal opinion issued by a qualified religious authority.
