"My characters are real. The location is real. There is as much reality costumewise, researchwise [as we could manage]. I had three different religious advisers, a Muslim, a Christian and a rabbi, going through every word of the script. I wanted to be more true to the story and its characters."

I hate to be nit-picky, but what is the Muslim (and the Christian, for that matter) doing there?

And why the generic descriptions (Muslim, Christians) for those two faiths, but a position title (Rabbi) for the other?

Moses is a central figure in Islam. You have to remember that in a way, Islam is really just a perverted, twisted, and greatly expanded and modified version of early Christianity. Mohammed took the Christian faith, threw out the parts he didn't like, added in a bunch of new stuff, and called it Islam. He claimed, and his adherents still claim, that Mohammed was actually the prophet that Moses foresaw in Deuteronomy. To a Muslim, if you portray Moses wrong (as a gay man, for example), you are undermining their entire religion.

Also the didn't the Muslims not even have a religeon untill 618 A.D.?

Perhaps the Quoran(koran) has some reference in it?

But Stilllll, it is not Christian or Jewish.

Hey why not consult the Gnostics too!
