Movie Reviews of Muhammad: Legacy of a Prophet
Movie Review: A great documentary
Summary: 5 Stars
An outstanding documentary that sheds light on what Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) and Islam are all about. Reading the recent book by Lady Karen Armstrong; "Mohammad; a prophet for our time" will further deliver a clear philosophy of Islam.
Joel Peter comments made below are covered in Armstrong's book; such comments are;
1-Prophet Mohammad Peace Be Upon Him (PBUH) practiced banishing and killing of Jews in MADINAH.
2- Reference made to the (Hadith) by Mohammad (PBUH) " Christians and Jews are deluded away from the truth". One example of deluded away from the truth is that Muslims simply don't believe contents of TALMUD which is a commentative and interpretative writing that holds a place in the Jewish religious tradition second only to the Bible (Old Testament).
Talmud was by the Church and accused of falsifying biblical meaning. The Church held that the Talmud contained blasphemous remarks against Jesus and Christianity and that it preached moral and social bias toward non-Jews. On numerous occasions the Talmud was publicly burned, and permanent Talmudic censorship was established.
3- Prophet Mohammad's wives are (11) and NOT (20). His first marriage was at his prime age of (25) years old to (Khadejah) whom was (40), divorced with one boy from her previous marriage.
The Prophet lived with (Khadejah) for (25) years not marrying another until her death at the age of (65) and the Prophet was (50) and not much of that prime is left. His following (10) marriages were all after (Khadejah's) death due to political reasons as you will come to know when you read Armstrong's new book.
4- Your statement that this side of Prophet Mohammad's personal life is embarrassing ! is embarrassing on your side to say. How can a practicing Christian or Jew not call Prophet DAVID (PBUH) getting married to (99) wives embarrassing?
Before Islam, all world civilizations had no restrictions on numbers of wives. Men had numerous wives claimed to oneself. In nowadays life style or one minute or bullet meal or Burger lifestyle !! Short term relations or FREE SEX or one night stand, many may not be able to count the number of times they had sex with different partners thru their life span. All of this un-defined life style results in lineage children born thru fornication leading over time to an un-balanced society structure.
MORMON Church in Salt Lake City-UTAH published book published in 1830 by Joseph Smith who is considered an American Prophet was accepted by the Church as a holy scripture.
Mormons can have multiple wives at one time. Some have several wives at the same time living in one house. So could this behavior be considered embarrassing or not?
5- Chapter-4 of Armstrong's book elaborates on what Jihad is. Now tying Jihad with 9/11/01 is a deception to truth and reality, similar to the phony Nicholas Berg decapitation video that was proven filmed inside the Abu Gharib prison.
Hiroshima & Nagasaki nuclear bombs were dropped by Americans and caused hundreds of thousands of death casualties and un-known number of nuclear affected generations to come, Japanese fighter planes (KAMIKAZE) reacted by deliberately flying their planes to crash into American targets to defend their people and country.
Irish Republican Army (IRA) a nationalist party in Northern Ireland established in 1919 and still present until this moment, representing Roman Catholics who want to achieve a united Ireland.
Zionist state forcefully established in 1948 by embedding them in PALESTINE to create a JEWISH state. Is it truly a Jewish religious state ? then where are all the Jews ? Why are they killing and oppressing Palestinians on daily basis ? do true Jewish Rabbis approve such acts ? of course not.
Others like; Ku Klux Klan, The Seventh-day Adventist Church, The Army of God (AOG), The war and invasion of Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, Bosnia and others resulting in the genocide/death and transformation of hundred of thousands ! what shall this be called in the books for the next generation to read ??
Non of the above can be called Japanese/Shinto/Buddhist/Christian or Jewish terrorism. You cannot accuse an entire nation for individual acts, that's what being deceptive is.
We need to deliver the truth as it is to the following generations even if it hurts.
Enjoy the documentary and many thanks for the team, cast, producer, director and writer.
