Islam has some weird rules for making movies about religious matters.
I once saw an islamic movie about the Life of Muhammad that followed
_all_ the rules. The moviemakers were not allowed to represent
Muhammad, Ali, Fatima, etc, etc. So they focused on a Prophet's
third cousin once removed, who was shown talking to the camera
and waiting for a long pause [probably hearing Muhammad's reply]
all through the movie :-)
