plays Christian blogger Doug Rawlins, who travels to Cairo to participate in a televised conference on religion. The Muslim host seeks commonalities between the two faiths. “We love Jesus Christ,” the man says, after which Doug pauses for a moment, weighing his words, before rejecting the figurative olive branch. “He is God,” Doug And He wants to be your God.” The audience is stunned at Doug’s audacity.
Coming from the mouth of the actor who played Jesus in Mel Gibson’s “The Passion of the Christ,” Doug’s “He is God” declaration is meant to represent conviction, not carelessness. But his wife Liz recognizes the risk when her husband turns his Cairo invitation into an opportunity to proselytize. A strong character in her own right, Liz works for the State Department, which puts her in a decent position to help rescue Doug from his captors when the time comes.
Still, “Infidel” isn’t as anti-Islam as it may sound. American-born Nowrasteh is himself of Iranian descent, teaming here with sensationalist producer Dinesh D’Souza to make a film that’s openly critical of the country’s more absolutist views. But the filmmaker proves himself to be sensitive to the biases and abuse Islamic people face in the United States.
