When the sun is overthrown
when the stars fall
when the mountains vanish
when the camels bid with yound abandoned
When the wild beasts are herded together
when the seas rise
When the souls are sorted
when the female infant who is buried alive
asks for what crime she was killed
when the books are opened
when the sky is torn away,
then every soul will know what it has done
gave him these words?
Dawn is coming up
Ammar you first, then you Jafar
Ammar, you keep your mother awake
all night with worry
I am sorry father
Where were you?
Have you been with Muhammad again?
What will happen now?
Forgive him It was my fault, I did it
That God has helped us all our lives
If it fell, it could not help itself
What talks have you been listening to?
The real god is unseen,
he's not made of clay
Ammar, we see the Gods in the Kabbaah every day
I am afraid for you
You are listening to people who will hurt you
I'm listening to Muhammad, mother
Muhammad is generous, yes He gives, he shares,
he pass no man without a smile,
but he is spreading dangerous ideas
Dangerous ideas that no man should start
that the rich should not afload the poor,
the strong should not oppress the weak
Girls should not be forced into marriage,
but be able to choose or refuse
But only tonight, he said to stop
the burial of new-born girls
I was fortunate, always fortunate with your mother
Yes, but you know that you and I nearly never met Yassar
and you were nearly never born
I was to be buried
like my 2 sisters
but my father couldnt' do it
He couldn't do it at that time
When the second girl was buried,
when my father was putting sand over her,
finger raised him as do babies,
told her mother afterwards
she took hold of his finger the way baby does
He told my mother afterwards, that it was a minute before the tender little grip eased
and he had taken away his hand
When I was born, my father ran out of the house
screaming that he couldn't do it again,
that he could never do it again
Sumaya, it is the custom
But it is wrong
The Gods that let such things be are no Gods
I promised to go to Muhammad's house mama
and pray there
Yes! He is a good man
Yes, yes, you go
Two men are following him
Read?
Muhammad can neither write nor read
Muhammad can speak
What did you say?
He can speak? Well, so can you
So now, you speak up yound man
What does Muhammad say umm?
They are God's words, not his
Which god's? What words?
A speaking god?
Your Muhammad speaks only to himself
When god reveals his message to Muhammad,
then he tells it to those who can write
It is the Qur'an
Muhammad has starved himself into dreams,
he hides under a blanket with his eyes shut
His eyes are shut but his heart is open
You! kick him for his cleverness
There, is no need for hasts
Doesn't Muhammad realize that we live by housing
to the Gods?
We own the Kabbaah
Every year, the tribes of Arabia come here
to Mecca to pray and to buy from us
Now, were we to replace 300
gods with just one?
whom we cannot even see, was supposed to be in Taif and Medina,
here in my house, in Jerusalem, on the moon?
The gods are both our vision and our revenue
You cannot buy and sell God
Young man, you are close to be whipped
Ammar, be sensible boy
I have a question
Muhammad teaches you,
a slave is equal to his master
This black Bilal, I paid money for is equal to me?
Yes Muhammad says before God all
men are equal as the teeth of a gum
This is a very pleasant idea to slaves and beggars
It gives them pretensions
Bilal! Teach this man the difference between the Lord of Mecca and a slave
Take that whip
Lash his face to teach an enormous lesson
Whip him! Whip him!
Cut him!
Whip him!
Do it Bilal!
Obey them! They will kill you!
So you want anarchy to bring
They even infected our slaves
If you're human enough to have gods,
remember that there are gods for your owner
when I bought you
You will be corrected
One, one god
There is only one God
Who is stronger now, your master
or this one god of yours?
One god There is only one God
Bring the stones
One god, One god! One god!
Crush him!
Are you finished with him?
There is only one God!
You could swear the slave was preaching!
Lord Umaya!
Abu Bakr will pay 100 dinars for this slave
Wait now!
to sell a slave during his punishment
The offer is to Lord Umaya!
If the price of slaves is raised,
we shall have to pay ourselves next year
Take him He is no use to me anymore
Kill him or take him more I'm finished with him
We are declaring ourselves
God has told his messenger to declare Islam to all men
Open the windows!
Let the world hear
We are coming out of the darkness
Hear well the word of God
Hear well the messenger of Lord
There are no other Gods, but God and Muhammad is his messenger
We have come into light, join us on the way to the Kabbah
God is most great, God is most great!
God has no partner, we have come into light
Join us on the way to Kabbah
Muhammad and his rebellion called Islam
are coming out
to fall our gods
and de-throw our religion
Don't let them reach the Kabbaah
Throw them back! Defend your gods
There is no gods but God and
Muhammad is the messenger of God
Protect the prophet!
There is no gods but God and Muhammad is the messenger of God
Guards!
God is great!
Blasphemy! ldiot!
God is great!
There is no gods but God and
Muhammad is the messenger of God
Now's the time to break them,
there are only 30 of them
No! we've done enough
More will only create sympathy for them
God is great!
In the name of God, most gracious, most merciful
say:
O you who reject faithI worship not other
Get out of Kabbaah!
Silence, you'r a false prophet! Stop!
Back to the corner!
Hamza! Hamza!
You are brave
He is the bravest man in the desert
and he meets men unarmed
Muhammad is a liar
Liar? If you don't let him speak!
Where's the lie and where's the truth
when it hasn't been spoken yet?
Muhammad is a fraud
Stand up! Hit me back if you dare!
I affirm my nephew's religion
and I say what he says
Who ever has the courage to fight,
to fight with me!
Muhammed, when I hunt the desert at night,
I know that God is not kept in a house
Who'd have thought that Hamza, Hamza above all,
with his wine drinking, lion hunting
will come to join Muhammad?
More we attack, more seem to join him
Where does he find his words?
I don't know
How can an illiterate man go up on a mountain
and come back 3 days later blazing with poetry?
It wasn't just only poetry, he says it's God's
How do we fight someone
whose strength we do not understand?
Muhammad promises heaven, trees in the skies
It's natural he found audience
Then we must make that audience
