Iran Warns to Counter BBC Film on Prophet Mohammad (PBUH)
TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran's Culture and Islamic Guidance Minister Seyed Mohammad Hosseini announced on Monday that Tehran will take serious action against BBC's documentary on the life of Islam's Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), describing the move of the British TV network as "suspicious".
"If our reports confirm this news, we will, for our turn, certainly take action to counter this undesirable move," Hosseini told FNA.
"Yet, reactions to this issue will not be limited to Iran," the minister added.
The BBC has announced that it is to trace the journey of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) for a new series which is claimed to be a first for British television.
The Life Of Mohammad (PBUH), a BBC2 three-part program, is to be screened next month and will follow events such as the prophet's migration to Medina and the founding of the first Islamic constitution, through to his death. It will also examine his legacy and the impact of the faith he established.
The trio of hour-long films have been made by Faris Kermani, the director and producer of Channel 4 series Seven Wonders Of The Muslim World.
The BBC said the programs would raise questions about Islam's role in the world today and explore "where Islam's attitudes towards money, charity, women, social equality, religious tolerance, war and conflict originate".
Producers said the series has been filmed in Saudi Arabia, Beitol-Moqaddas (Jerusalem), Syria, Turkey, the US, the UK and Jordan.
