• According to Zea Abdul, how Adjetey Anang portrayed Islam in the movie was unacceptable

A young Muslim cleric based in Canada has sent out a strong warning to Ghanaian actor, Adjetey Anang, over a role he played in a new movie.

In a video excerpt of the new movie, the Ghanaian actor played the role of a degenerate Muslim, who did not take his religion seriously.

The scene captured Adjetey Anang being driven out of a mosque while prayers were going on.

Reacting to the excerpt, the Canada-based Ghanaian man, identified as Zea Abdul, said the message portrayed in the movie was offensive and unacceptable to the Islamic faith.

"I don't know what he's trying to portray. I don't know the message they are trying to send in the movie. We Muslims, we take offense, this is totally unacceptable in Islam. We are cautioning you, we are cautioning anybody, who wants to use Islam in the name of content creation," he warned.

Zea Abdul said Islam is not something to be joked about, and for that matter, non-believers must stay clear of actions that portray the religion in bad light.

He, therefore, urged actors and entertainers to create meaningful content that promotes peaceful co-existence in society.

"Adjetey Annan and the crew, I don't care whether you guys are acting in a movie or what, we Muslims take offense in these because you are clearly out of the way," he added.

Below is the video of the Muslim cleric sending out a word of caution to Adjetey Anang.
