Firstly, I would like to congratulate Halalywood Entertainment on the release of their new film. American Sharia is an amazing movie, bearing in mind that it is Halalywood's debut film it was exceptional.
American Sharia provides an insight into the 'other side' of Muslims living in the Western World, the side rarely portrayed by the mainstream media. Where in most movies Muslims are portrayed as terrorists, in this production and it seems as 'rare' as it may be in real life, the Muslims are the good guys. It can be seen throughout the movie how much real thought and meaning has been put in along with all the humor.
The movie focuses on Detective Mohammed (Omar Regan) and his partner Abdul Mutakabir (Baba Ali). Throughout the movie their differences put a rift in their partnership, with Abdul being the more traditional and mature one, and Mohammed quite frankly the opposite. Mohammed tries his best to please everyone but it's clear that he is lost from within;Abdul likes the more traditional approach and insists on implying sharia to most of the cases.
It is guaranteed that the film will make you laugh, with Omar Regan's amazing singing and Baba Ali's 'halal' sense of humor. The film relates to everyday struggles that Muslims face, for example; trying to pray at work, finding an appropriate space to pray is not as easy as it seems. The film shows that just like everybody else almost 2 billion Muslims are exactly as you may put it 'normal'. This side is not often portrayed and it is essential that it is put across in such a manner as Halalywood Entertainment have done. In the wake of recent events across the globe and in order to promote integration across communities this is vital.
Lastly, I would like to thank everyone who played a huge part in the production and release of the film. A big shout out to Penny Appeal (UK) and Halalywood Entertainment for their amazing work in putting together the Smile Relief Tour. I hope that there are more Halalywood productions to come, and like most Muslims I look forward to watching them. I wish Omar Regan and Halalywood Entertainment the very best for the future
