RE: could it be that a mooselim was cast in the lead role ...intentionally?
And why would a Muslim accept the role ( unless he isn’t really serious about his faith )? The Quran states that Jesus DID NOT DIE on the cross.
He is likely what would be referred to as a Nominal muslim.
The sot that only “attends” mosque...on Ramadan...and...”like that”..
In terms of his adherence to the “faith”.. he could have habits very SImilar to Nominal Christians who attend Church only on Easter and Christmas.
Why the producer cast him..in the Role of Jesus is indeed curious
