Muslim clerics are opposed to the shooting of a film by a Germany TV station set to start today in Lamu.
The Council of Imams and Preachers of Kenya (CIPK) yesterday said the shooting was against Islamic culture.
Sheikh Mohammed Dor, the CIPK secretary-general, said in a press conference at Baluchi Mosque in Mombasa that the film touched on Islam.
"The film will be shot next to Msikiti wa Pwani, which clearly shows that the mosque will be part of the items in it," said Dor who was flanked by CIPK organising secretary Mohammed Khalifa.
"Muslims are observing the holy month of Ramadhan and the Government should not have allowed the shooting," Dor said.
The shooting has taken place in Nyeri, Isiolo and Thika. He urged the Government to stop the shooting, set to last three weeks.
However, some leaders in Lamu welcomed the shooting, saying it would create employment.

Mr Mohammed Ali Badi, a civic leader, said the film, Diehiegll, was about a woman in search of her husband, who was enrolled in the army during the Second World War.
The husband is believed to have been a soldier in a platoon sent to East Africa.
Badi said the TV station had employed more than 100 people, adding that its crew had rented several buildings.

It's probably easy for me to say this because I am not Muslim, but I say "go for it." People are desperate for employment, and the shooting included the mosque, but did not in anyway defame it or Islam. Could a more opportune time have been scheduled other that the Holy Month of Ramadan? I'm sure it could've but I believe that this is something that you just have to go with, especially if it is going to benefit your community and, fingers crossed, bring more filmmakers to Kenya...
