I have absolutely no doubt in my mind but this movie is made with the utmost respect for the source material and the religion as a whole. I have no doubt that it is as accurate as it could possible be. But when you show me a three hour movie that's all about hearsay about what Mohammed just said and did and expect me to like it...
