I don't think I can post an excerpt here, but go to the link and read the story. Obviously, the movie's director doesn't have a clue who the Christian Jesus Christ is! And he's trying to portray Him as someone that Christianity and Islam have in common?? I don't think so.

The paper said Ali-Abadi appeared to be particularly worried about footballers, and warned that "even though they get away with it now, they will be disqualified in future".
