Kola Boof
Dismissed as Star
of Sins of a Living Woman
(Press Release)
This press release is to confirm
that financial backers of the film, "Sins of a
Living Woman" have officially dismissed Kola Boof from
her position as the film's star . . . but are retaining her
services as an advisor for the project. A replacement
star was named.
Spanish investors confirmed that they cannot
get insurance for Kola Boof . . . who has just become the target of
a fatwa, an Islamic contract for assassination that is
set against Muslims whenever they blaspheme Islam. Although Boof
hasn't been Muslim since she was 10 years old, the fatwa
was issued via Islamic decree by Sudanese government
officials Mahdi Mohammed and Gamal Ibrahaim.
 |
For obvious reasons, investors
cannot back Kola Boof.
Kola Boof was born in Sudan, born a Sunni
Muslim (and later raised as a Baptist by adoptive Black American
parents), but has been severely and unapologetically
critical of Sudan's Arab Islamic government (which enslaves
Black African non-Muslim tribes) and the Muslim faith--as she
remembers it in Africa. Boof has also rejected the
Christian religion, publicly calling it "whitewashed by the
Caucasoids". |
Russom Damba (the film's intermediate
producer) is announcing that the project will go forward with
renowned actress N'Bushe Wright (star of Blade) in the role of
the Nigerian woman stoned to death and Amistad's Djimon Hansou
as the forbidden lover who gets to walk away. The
film is also going to showcase, in major roles, Alfre Woodard,
Akosua Busia, Lonette Mckee and will be produced by Alicia
Banks, a popular radio personality and controversial womanist
columnist from Atlanta.
Former journalist Ajowa Ifateyo and the N.Y.
Sudanese People's Liberation Army (in association with the
London branch of the army) are now planning a major
response to the fatwa declared on Kola Boof...the details
of which are not available at this time.
The usually vocal Kola Boof, herself, is not
making any statements, but is expected to resurface in November.
Boof did give an interview with Janine Howard regarding the fatwa
and other matters on Sept. 27th that can be read from this link:
