MURIC Calls For Ban On Anti-Islamic Film Produced By Nancy Isime
The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) , has called for the ban on an anti-Islamic film produced by a popular actress Nancy Isime.
While accusing Isime of Islamphobia, the Executive Director of MURIC, Professor Ishaq Akintola, in a statement he issued on Thursday also called the yet-to-be-released movie ‘satanic’.
‘An extremely anti-Muslim film has been released into the Nigerian movie industry. The upcoming film, which was recently unveiled by Nancy Isime, shows women in purdah brandishing dangerous weapons and robbing banks. It is Islamophobia taken to the highest level. This film is satanic, repugnant, and provocative.
It is aimed at portraying Muslim women as criminals with a violent proclivity. The film is capable of inciting the public against the Muslim women. It may also expose Muslims in general to public ridicule and opprobrium.
We believe that the film is the handiwork of Muslim-haters and part of the plot to stop Muslim women from wearing hijab and niqab. The plot was hatched a long time ago, and its execution began in the schools. This plot was boldly and diligently confronted in Nigerian courts by Muslims until the highest court in the land made a pronouncement on it. This Satanic film is the latest effort in the war against hijab’ he said..
MURIC also urged the relevant authorities to take immediate action on the issue while asking the National Film and Video Censors Board to investigate and immediately place a ban on the film.
‘To the Nigerian Muslims who have inundated our communication channels with video clips, voice notes, and other types of messages, we have this to say: please remain calm and peaceful.
You have spoken loud and clear. We have received your messages and action is being taken right now. Our religion brought a message of hope and peace to the world. We will not allow anyone to paint our women, our mothers, our wives, our daughters and sisters in the colours of Shaytan. Be good ambassadors of Islam. Don’t take the law into your hands. Allow the authorities to take necessary action’ the statement added-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us? Do you want us to cover your event or programme?
