MURIC Calls For Ban On Movie With Nancy Isime Wearing Niqab

MURIC has called for the ban on a movie with Nancy Isime wearing Niqab.

 

Glamtush reports that the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC), has urged the National Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB) to ban the upcoming movie where popular actress Nancy Isime wore Niqab an Islamic covering cloth worn by Muslim women..

This online news platform recalls that Isime shared a poster of a yet-to-be-released movie titled ‘Blood Brothers,’ where she wore a niqab while holding a gun.

MURIC reacted after the actress faced backlash on social media and described the movie as ‘satanic’, saying it depicts Muslim women as criminals.

The Executive Director, Professor Ishaq Akintola in a statement on Thursday, said their portrayal of Muslim women incites the public against them.

The statement read; “An extremely anti-Muslim film has been released into the Nigerian movie industry. The upcoming film, which was recently unveiled by Nancy Isime, shows women in purdah brandishing dangerous weapons and robbing banks. It is Islamophobia taken to the highest level. This film is satanic, repugnant, and provocative.

“It is aimed at portraying Muslim women as criminals with a violent proclivity. The film is capable of inciting the public against Muslim women. It may also expose Muslims in general to public ridicule and opprobrium.

“We believe that the film is the handiwork of Muslim-haters and part of the plot to stop Muslim women from wearing hijab and niqab.

“The plot was hatched a long time ago, and its execution began in the schools. This plot was boldly and diligently confronted in Nigerian courts by Muslims until the highest court in the land made a pronouncement on it. This Satanic film is the latest effort in the war against hijab.

“This hate film is capable of setting Nigeria on fire if urgent action is not taken by relevant authorities. We therefore call on the NFVCB to investigate and place an immediate ban on the coming film.

“To Nigerian Muslims who have inundated our communication channels with voice notes, video clips and other types of messages, please be calm and peaceful. You have spoken loud and clear. Allow the authorities to take necessary action.”
