"I don't know what he's trying to portray. I don't know the message they are trying to send in the movie. We Muslims, we take offense, this is totally unacceptable in Islam. We are cautioning you, we are cautioning anybody, who wants to use Islam in the name of content creation," he warned.

Zea Abdul said Islam is not something to be joked about, and for that matter, non-believers must stay clear of actions that portray the religion in bad light.

He, therefore, urged actors and entertainers to create meaningful content that promotes peaceful co-existence in society.

"Adjetey Annan and the crew, I don't care whether you guys are acting in a movie or what, we Muslims take offense in these because you are clearly out of the way," he added.

Below is the video of the Muslim cleric sending out a word of caution to Adjetey Anang.
