Islam starts
Moustapha Akkad’s movie “The Message” (alternately called “Mohammad, Messenger of God”) tells the story of the founding of Islam. In compliance with Islamic tradition, Mohammed himself is not depicted, since the religion forbids depictions of him. So, the movie focuses mainly on Mohammed’s uncle Hamza ibn ‘Abd al-Muttalib (Anthony Quinn). Most of the movie is very energizing, despite a few slow scenes. Without a doubt, Mohammed (just like Jesus) was basically a revolutionary, showing how the people in control of Mecca were oppressing the majority of the population. And so, he founded a religion that is now the faith of about one fifth of the world population. One can argue that there was nothing bad about having multiple gods as Mecca did before Mohammed founded Islam, but Mohammed and his followers certainly believed in what they were doing, and the movie makes a very good point of that. Also starring Irene Papas, Michael Ansara (Barbara Eden’s former husband), Johnny Sekka and Michael Forest.Akkad (who was best known as the producer of the “Halloween” franchise) later cast Quinn and Papas in “Lion of the Desert”, about Libyan national hero Omar Mukhtar, who fought against the Italian occupation. Akkad got killed in a terrorist attack in Jordan in 2005.
