Egyptian director Khaled Yousif claims the controversy surrounding his most recent film “Waiga” was created intentionally by people to affect its success, especially at a time when competition for movie goers is so high.
Yousif stated, “The film in no way insults Islam, or demeans the Islamic headdress the hijab, and those who spread the rumors and made such accusations against the film, obviously did not see it to make such a judgment.”
The scene that has created the commotion features Egyptian actress Muna Shalabi while she is wearing a hijab, with her faced covered. She goes to meet her lover in an impoverished neighborhood while covered, and the scene has caused Islamic scholars to go into a rage, claiming it is an insult towards all women who wear the hijab.
The director explained that the use of the hijab by Muna in the scene was intentionally done to show that some people misinterpret and take advantage of some of the teachings of Islam to do things that are against the basic principals of the religion.
Khaled, who is considered by many as a student of prominent director Yousif Shahin, stated that the film deals with a number of issues in society that merit discussion, making it a worthy production.
All films are censored according to Egyptian law, and therefore it is not outside the guidelines of acceptability, he added.
The film began screening after the Islamic holiday Eid Al Adha and witnessed significant success in most Egyptian cinema houses. The film stars young Egyptian actors Hani Salameh, Sharif Muneer, and Mohammad Al Khal’ee, as well as Tunisian actor Hind Sabri, and the new Lebanese actor Dolly Shaheen.

We cannot possibly continue to live on the same planet as these MooSlime lunatics, they will kill us all or convert us to their sick, perverted death cult.
Eventually, they will have nukes and use them. Apparently, we have wait until they do so before we do what needs to be done.
The biggest lesson that is out there to be learned about Islam is how little value human life has. Don't like someone's cartoon...kill them. Don't like something someone says...kill them. Daughter gets raped...kill HER. Don't like costuming in a movie...threaten to kill them. Easy religion...same answer for every circumstance...just kill someone.
And this is bad because?...
Sorry... When Islamics start criticizing the terror and killing that their fellow Islamic terrorists committ on a daily basis, then we can talk about sensitive training.
Sheesh!
Chop all infidel heads off and let allah sort them out.....
HOT Damm she is easy on the eyes :)
It would be better to rise early, and strike them first..
Thank you! :)
The existence of beautiful women causes this. Just like America, Europe, Israel, and all things western make them go into a rage. Big deal.
ROFL! You're right!
I think the one on Popeye was the Sea Hag (now known as Helen Thomas).
Exactly. Why is it they never think to kill the dictators or Imams though?
Is there anything these Muslim whackadoos don't get enraged about!!??
I've come to the conclusion that "Allah the merciful" is in fact nothing more than a big bully in the sky--The Bible tells us that we are made in God's image. With Allah it's apparent that he's made in man's image, except with supernatural powers to be a nasty SOB.
Who would be most suspect to make up a god that would be a sure bet for selfish humans who want their way to relate to but Satan, the Father of Lies, as the Bible describes him
Ya Habibi
I always believed liberals were the biggest whiners in the world, but no MUSLIMS have far exceeded the measure. I have never heard so many whiners.
LOL!
Habibi is right.

Get a friggin life and, by the way, I've learned that there are no 72 virgins for your nut cases who choose to "off" their sorry behinds.>>
Sure, they get 72 virgins.
Demons have no genitalia, and are all, therefore, by definition, virgins.
