When FReepers go see this film I ask you to listen carefully to the first chants of "Allah akbar," I think when the townsmen greet the town mullah. I thought I heard a single voice say, "Heil Hitler," once. Of course, I wasn't prepared for this and it might just have been my imagination. But if you are paying close attention and listening for this, you should be able to confirm or refute my observation.
I have to say, as a Jew with some knowledge of Mishna and Talmud, that I wondered if we might not have had our Sorayas in our own history.
