Imran Firasat (born 1978) is a Pakistani Islam-critical filmmaker. Born in a Muslim family, he renounced Islam and converted to Christianity. He lives in Spain,[1] and has been described as part of the counter-jihad movement.[2]

Biography

Early life and activities

Firasat was born into a Muslim family in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. After moving in with his Buddhist wife, he says he faced harassment, and was detained by police who tortured him.[3] The couple fled to Spain as a result, obtaining political asylum in 2006.[4] There, he began blogging and giving interviews denouncing Islam.[3]

He then started getting death threats and was physically assaulted.[3] He subsequently fled to his wife's home country of Indonesia in 2010,[4] where he was detained over alleged blasphemy against Islam. He was then deported by Indonesian police and again returned to Spain.[3] His police record includes an Indonesian warrant for kidnap and murder. He rejects the murder charge saying that it was made up due to his criticism of Islam.[1]

The Innocent Prophet

Following the 2012 Benghazi attack, Firasat made the documentary The Innocent Prophet in partnership with American Quran-burning pastor Terry Jones.[3] The movie among other things asks whether Mohammed "was a child molester and a murderer." The governments of Belgium, France and the US expressed their concern over the ramifications the release of the video could produce. A Madrid court banned the release of the film, and Spain rescinded his asylum status on "grounds of a threat to the security of the state" as a result,[5][6] stating that Firasat would be arrested if the film was shown.[7]

Aisha and Muhammad

In July 2014, a new animated film that he co-produced with Danish Lars Hedegaard entitled Aisha and Muhammad was released. The film focuses on the life of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and his marriage to the six-year-old Aisha.[8] Days later he travelled to Norway to seek asylum, but was detained and deported back to Spain.[9] He was arrested in Spain until he was released in December 2014.[1]
