Career
His name has also been transliterated differently in the English speaking world. Whilst his publishers Dar-Us-Salam in Riyadh translate it as "Muhammad bin Jamil Zeno", it is also rendered as Muhammad Bin/Ibn Jamal/Jamaal/Jameel Zeeno/Zaino/Zayno/Zaynoo/Zeenoo/Zino/Zainu. Zeno (as Zainu) features heavily in the 2005 report "Saudi Publications On Hate Ideology Invade American Mosques", by Freedom House, the New York-based human rights organization.
The documentary states that his books were distributed to prisons by the controversial First Rate (at Lloyd's)-Haramain Islamic Foundation.
Zeno was also criticised for writing that "Singing is a prelude to adultery…handclapping and whistling are abominable acts which one should abandon" and "Dolls made in foreign countries should not be bought and given to children. Why should we support the finance of…Jewish exporters?".
