مهدي (م) بتاع (فنيلتك) يا محسن؟!

Quote: Certainly, Muhammad Ahmad's claim that he was the Mahdi had nothing to support it. It was false because it was built on the Islamic political system- a system which is faulty at its epistemological core. As such, no wonder why and how it failed in the hands of Torshain, the Mahdi's successor. But, regardless, nothing permits the transcendence of true and authentic history. Note, for example, that the battle of Shaikan (Kashgil) in this movie takes place in the desert when in fact it was in the heart of the Shaikan forest. This was meant to deny the Mahdi any military or tactical capability and portray him as a lucky person who was in no way equal to the British. Also note that in the fabricated dialogue with General Gordon (which never took place in real life) the Mahdi vows to kill women, the elderly and children in contradiction with the cognitive theory of Islam which particularly prohibits putting this triad in harm's way. The purpose was to lead western viewers into believing that those people were wild and bloodshedding brutes and therefore no wonder that the forces of imperialism invaded their land to exterminate them.
