Womit haben wir das verdient? (2018)
Every bad thing happens to us for a reason, that reason is not always because we deserve it
The movie starts with an atheist Austrian family meeting their daughter that recently converted to Islam and wearing the full Islamic clothing the Hijab and Abaya and while all of us (the audience) are wondering why did she convert they keep beating around the bush and trying to make jokes until the scene ends and the same thing happens in the following scene and we never get an satisfying answer to such a question that represents the main premise or the main subject of the film instead later on we get the impression that she only converted to support the right and freedom of minorities and she's not convinced that Islam is the truth.
Therefore we never empathize with the daughter and she feels very annoying with her constant complaining and arguing and disrespect towards all her family members especially her mother which is against the basic teachings of Islam on the other hand we see her committed to some Islamic rulings that are 10 times less important than respecting your parents and being nice to them.
The movie paints Islam in a very bad false picture making some Muslim characters say false facts about Islam and taking many Islamic teachings out of context and presenting them to the audience without any explanation.
I don't advise anyone to believe anything the movie says about Islam most of what's done and said in the movie about Islam and Muslims is not true, if you want to learn about Islam please do your research on the internet yourself from credible Islamic sources not from the enemies of Islam.
Le tout nouveau testament (2015)
What's the moral of the story here!
The story is all over the place the jokes are silly and cheap watching the movie after the first 30 minutes becomes a chore just to see how it ends and if everything presented will eventually tie up or not.
Ramy (2019)
Excellent beginning very disappointing ending
The premise of the show which was not said directly is that if you believe Islam is from the one and only true God and you believe he's our creator and he created us for a purpose but you find it hard and difficult to live for that purpose then what you should do to find solutions for this issue is to look for answers everywhere and from everyone but not in the teachings of God (the Quran) and his prophet (the Sunna). that's what was going on ramy's mind thro the entire show if it doesn't get a second season which I hope it does so they can fix their mistakes.
When you get sick you to the doctor when you have problems in your car you go to the mechanic but when you have problems implementing Islam in your life you don't go to the scholars of Islam and you don't look for solution in the Quran and Sunna, what type of mind set is this! you think God would leave us with out guidance?
What I was hoping for is that after ramy fails to solve his issues in the end he would meet a muslim scholar and they would have a great discussion to clear all the misunderstandings and misconceptions of Islam that ramy has but no no no, instead he goes to Egypt where his male cousin ruins the image of all Egyptian muslims and his female cousin invites him to a sect that does some type of rituals that are against the teachings of Islam, what a terrible ending and misrepresentation of Islam.
To be fair the show did a great job showing the lives of western muslims from arab origins but it did a terrible job giving any type of advise to those who are going through what ramy is going through.
