THE MESSAGE (1976)
MOUSTAKKA AKKAD
Plot
In the traditions of the Hollywood religious epic without the DeMille vulgarity. An account of the birth of Islam beginning with Mohammad's first visions and his crusade to bring a just and monotheistic religion to his people. The historical parallels of the ascendancy of Islam with early Christianity are heavily stressed; a persecuted minority gradually emerging victorious with large-scale conversions, religious toleration, slave, female, and even camel liberation!
