Inspired by the documentary on Christ's alleged non-existence called "The God Who Wasn't There" , I am making this thread .
There are three questions here I ask .
1) Does any independent filmmaker have to guts to make a movie like this about Mohammed , his life and times , and the contradictions in the accounts of his life and teachings , considering the reign of terror the Muslims have unleashed across the media and art world ? Examples are the brutal murder of Theo van Goth ( in whose blood a message was written ) , the death fatwa against the Danish cartoonists , the offer of 51,00,00,000 Rupees for the heads of the Danish cartoonists , the death fatwa against Slaman Rushdie , and the persecution of Taslima Nasrin , of Anwar Sheikh , and of Ibn Warraq .
2) If an independent filmmaker does make such a film , how will it be received in the Muslim world ? Will the Muslim world dismiss it as the Christians have "The God Who Wasn't There" , as just another cross they have to bear ? Or will the Muslim world react violently , like they did to the Danish cartoons , rioting and rampaging and causing property damage to all symbols of Western civilisation ? Or will the reaction be even more severe , in the form of death fatwas against the filmmaker and attempts to assassinate him ?
3) How will the European and Americal "liberals" react to it ? As they did to "The God Who Wasn't There" , or by denouncing the filmmaker as anti-Muslim ? How will this forum react to it ? How will you react to it ?
Let us say that such a film is made , and it is called "The Allah Who Wasn't There" .
The poll question is : How have you reacted to "The God Who Wasn't There" , and what will your reaction be to "The Allah Who Wasn't There" ?
EDIT : Positive means that you like it , negative means you dislike it . This deals entirely with how you , the voter on the poll , reacts to the two movies .
