"Remaining within the strict teachings of Islam, Akkad finds ways to tell the story of Mohammed without photographing the prophet-founder or any of the central figures of the Faith, like Ali. And it works. "
"For American audiences who think these rules too restrictive, consider how films have actually secularized Judaism and Christianity and helped perpetuate misconceptions about their prophet-founders. Anyone who has seen The Ten Commandments will undoubtedly begin to picture Charlton Heston as the man who spoke to the burning bush and brought down the laws of God from Mount Sinai. For years Hollywood has perpetuated the myth of European Renaissance artists by continuing to portray Christ as a blue eyed Caucasian with light brown hair. Anyone thinking that this is an authentic physical portrayal is burying his head in the sands of the Judean Desert--mainstream Hollywood has consistently followed the Anglicized tradition because its primary audience won't accept a more accurate depiction. Is it possible that Islam is far more advanced on this issue since they maintain that a physical portrayal of the prophet (including His voice) detracts from the spiritual message?"
"People who wonder how any prophet of God could lead an army into battle may understand Mohammed's situation better after seeing The Message. Patterns repeat themselves, for similar questions were posed of Moses, who had murdered men in righteous anger. Ideas of rebelling against the traditional religion have always surrounded the prophets and martyrdom has always resulted. People of the 7th century Arabian Desert were brutal, and the camera only hints at this when a Moslem is about to be cut open by either looking away or showing vultures circling overhead."
