That was part of my critique for my Spike Lee film class. I don't understand why Spike did it as his family was huge in his conversion to Islam, and his aunt paid for his Hajj (pilgrimage) and his mentor was completely made up. With the amount of problems that family had I felt it took away from the strength of a broken family reuniting under a new religion.
