Cineworld pulls 'blasphemous' £12m film about Prophet Muhammad's daughter after protests

Cineworld cinemas have pulled a film chronicling the life of the Prophet Muhammad's daughter after protestors branded it "blasphemous".

Hundreds of demonstrators turned out in Bradford, Bolton, Birmingham and Sheffield to picket theatres following screenings of "The Lady of Heaven" over the weekend.

The movie opens with the invasion of Iraq by ISIS and features a graphic jihadist murder. It then goes on to document the life of Fatima, daughter of the founder of Islam, during the seventh century.
