The answer

It is undeniable that religious references exist in children's series and programs, but this is not necessarily the case in everything produced, as their goal is commercial profit. It has become clear that the series "Adnan and Lina" does not carry a Jewish religious message or references to the Antichrist (Dajjal) or Palestine, and the connotations found within it are very distant, with nothing direct. Several points confirm this, including: the author of the novel from which the series was adapted was not Jewish and was 19 years old; the series' director is Japanese and Buddhist; the series addresses children and its descriptions do not perfectly match reality; furthermore, Lina's grandfather, who was alleged to be the Dajjal, dies in the series; and Absi eats pork, which is forbidden to Jews. Nevertheless, this does not absolve the series from legitimate religious criticism, as it contains many violations, including: corrupt beliefs (such as communicating with birds), music, forbidden relationships between the protagonists, Lina's wearing of short clothes, and Absi's appearance in revealing clothing and his consumption of pork.
