Filming the Prophet

I loved this movie as a child. It helped me understand Arabian culture at the time of Prophet Mohammad(PBUH)...

Um,..The Last Prophet`` never hit U.S. theaters, and has yet to be released on DVD. ..` I wonder why!

Prophet Muhammad`s life story must be read by every one. For, it is very important for all people to understand his views about human life, inner struggle, moral life , war, etc. It has given millions of his followers a code to live by. I think he is a very important historical figure-not the only one. From the point of understanding and appreciating human history, I would like to see a movie about his life. I have read history of Islam and many of its facets and contributions over many years and I would say it is fascinating.

Last year there was movie produced and shown on PBS with commentators Karen Armstrong and the new convert Wolfe(!). Their comments were tasteless , phony and especially that of Wolfe was really bogusy. Karen Armstrong narrated and parts of her narration sounded as though she personally knew him. It was a bit of phony. BTW-She speaks with a similar voice about Buddhism too. -pretty wooden hollow tone. The movie was tasteless and appeared like apropaganda.

I wish producers and directors have the courage to produce a good movie with taste, and historical accuracy. Let the viewers make up their own mind and let the humanity decide about these things.

When man (out of insecurity and ignorance) invented religion and god(s) he made a big mistake. The world would be a much better place without all this nonsense and superstition.
I`ll give anything to the first religious parents who do not push any religion on to their children, and simply say to them that they can work out for themselves what to believe in (if anything).

NP,
As usual, very well written article.

Nadeem, as a sidenote..whenever i read your columns or look at your pic on Chowk..I wonder if you are really a heavy pot smoker. Just say no, Man!!!
