Today, the tear I thought that dried, came out again, I was watching mbc, they were broadcasting a program about late Mustafa Al-Akkad, listening to him while he was speaking about his dreams, I was deeply touched and saddened.

Mustafa Al-Akkad as most of you know was working on making a high budget hit movie about SALAH-ADDIN, the reason that he chose SALAH-ADDIN is because he wanted to show the world that Jerusalem is an Arabic city 100%. Such films can be a very straight to the point shortcut for all Muslims and Arabs to prove a point for the west. The movie that never saw the light I believe was a chance that we might never get again to prove for the west that Jerusalem is an Arabic city, period.
Making a movie is much different than writing a book, because let’s say that a very distinguished author wanted to write a book about Jerusalem. Who will read it? Only those who are either interested or curious about the History of Jerusalem or SALAH-ADDIN will read the book! Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t underestimate the value of books, because in this case eventually the movie will tell the story that this presumed book wanted to tell! So, late Mustafa Al-Akkad wanted to combine the power of the story with the power of movies. Then not only those who are interested or curious in Jerusalem’s history & SALAH-ADDIN will see the movie, the movie will be seen all over the world! The story that we wanted to tell will be heard by millions all over the world. Too bad this will not happen.

What did those murderers, those bastards achieve, or want to prove?!!
Only blinds can’t tell white from black!

May peace be on your soul Mustafa Al-Akkad, a true Muslim, a true Arab hero! A real Arab knight!! May God let you rest in peace and live forever in heaven.
