Unlike Saladin, who looks like a dangerous foreigner to the police, Gibreel is dressed like an elderly Englishman. Thus, to the police, he poses no threat. Gibreel seems to have almost taken on the very character of Rosa’s husband and therefore does not care when Saladin is taken away. The light that appears—and then disappears—above Gibreel’s head is meant to resemble a halo, giving him an angelic appearance. In other words, as Saladin is transforming into a devil, Gibreel seems to be becoming an angel. Notably, this coincides with Gibreel dressing as though he is English and Saladin being identified as an illegal immigrant.
