"American Sharia", a Muslim action-packed comedy, on Friday October 2 will begin its U.S. tour in Dearborn. 

One of the characters in the film, Attorney Leila Rodriguez, is based on CAIR-MI Staff Attorney Lena Masri.  Masri also makes an appearance in the film.  

The film is inspired by the life and memory of Imam Luqman A. Abdullah, who was fatally shot by the FBI in Dearborn in October 2009.  

CAIR-MI recently petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court regarding a wrongful death and fraud lawsuit filed against the FBI pertaining to the homicide of Abdullah.

The film previously toured in Australia, the United Kingdom and Canada. For information on upcoming screenings and to purchase tickets, visit

Well, as of 2014, you probably will. American actor and comedian Omar Regan, who has appeared in films such as Rush Hour 2, has set out to create a halal certified film industry for Muslims.
