The Arab world's most prominent comedian and movie star, Egyptian
actor Adel Imam, has shocked many of his fans by expressing
understanding for Israel's military operation in the Gaza Strip.
Imam, a longtime outspoken critic of Islamic fundamentalism, lashed
out at Egyptians who have been demonstrating against Israel's war on
Hamas. He said calls for general strikes in solidarity with the
Palestinians "harmed our economy and benefited Israel alone."
Imam was also quoted in the Egyptian press as strongly criticizing the
leader of the country's Muslim Brotherhood organization, Mahdi Akef,
for having accused Egypt's leadership of "collusion" with Israel.
The veteran 68-year-old movie star blamed Hamas for the violence,
pointing out that the Egyptian leadership had warned the Islamist
movement against an impending Israeli military operation.
"Hamas ignored our warnings and chose to lead an asymmetrical war,"
Imam said, echoing earlier statements by Egyptian Foreign Minister
Ahmed Aboul Gheit. "It's preferable for Hamas to stop [the rocket
attacks]. They should have known that Israel wasn't going to receive
the attacks with roses."
Imam's remarks have been condemned by many of his colleagues in Egypt
who have come out in support of Hamas.
One of Imam's popular but controversial films, The Terrorist, depicts
Muslim extremism as alien to Egyptian values. The film drew sharp
criticism from extremists, some of whom issued death threats against
the actor.
In the film, Imam plays the role of a terrorist who attacks a tourist
bus. Concealing his identity, he later seeks refuge with an Egyptian
family, during which time he meets run-of-the-mill Muslims and
Christians.
The most significant scene is when the terrorist, together with a
Christian, watches the Egyptian national soccer team play in a
championship match. The terrorist complains that Egypt's flag should
be more Islamic and that football is a symbol of corruption, but when
the Egyptian team scores the winning goal, he gets so excited that he
jumps up and hugs the Christian, and together they sing the Egyptian
national anthem.
Imam's most recent film, Hassan and Morqos, also enraged extremists,
prompting them to launch a campaign to boycott the actor. The movie is
about a Muslim cleric and a Christian priest whose paths cross as they
face threats from Muslim terrorists. Some of Imam's critics accused
him of using the film to promote "apostasy."
