Awesome

This movie is representing the real Arab Muslims, unlike other American movies showing to the world that Muslims are just a bunch of terrorists, which is a big misleading as our religion Islam is originally against terrorism. Islam is prompting people for love, help, work and live, exactly like what mentioned generally in the movie.

We need more movies like this one to show the world the real Islam specially the Arab Muslims.

Special thanks to Khaled El Nabawy and the rest of the crew for this great movie. and I wish this movie to be nominated for international awards.
