The Libyan who dreamed about Jesus and Mohammed

Abdulwart is from Libya and he told me that he had dreamed about Jesus and Mohammed in the same night. It was the time when he visited UK. His colleagues gave him the DVD movie "Passion of Christ" (the one directed by Mel Gibson). Before that he never knew Jesus was killed by his people.
Unlike Christians, Muslims think that Jesus is a prophet. They don't know about the life of Jesus. When Abdulwart saw the scenes of people torturing and killing Jesus, he was shocked. He cried like a baby. And he saw the movie many times. That's why he dreamed about Jesus. And perhaps under the influence of his religious belief, he dreamed of Mohammed as well. He said that he'd never seen neither Jesus nor Mohammed, but you just knew it when it appeared in the dream.
Sometime movies could be controversial (I remember that there were some warning for Christians when the movie was introduced). However, they open doors to such non-Christ-believer as muslims. We could have been more open-minded.
