During the new interview between presenter Hala Sarhan and Adel Imam, a startling announcement was made. Adel Imam who is known for his ‘brave’ movies announced that in his next movie he would be playing a priest! Adel went on to explain that one of the biggest problems that threaten security in Egypt is the lack of unity between Egyptian Muslims and Christians. As a result Adel Imam’s upcoming movie will tell the story of the events of November 2005 where there was conflict between religious groups in Egypt.

The story is of a priest and a sheikh who escape from terrorist religious groups and by coincidence they bump into each other and change their names so they are no longer linked to their religion. Obviously the subject matter is very serious but it is essential that more people draw attention to the issue of religious conflict as Egypt has always been a peaceful nation and we hope it remains that way.
