Re: Does anybody today dare to make "The God Who Wasn't There" about Islam ?
First of all, I have to say that I've never seen, nor heard of "The God Who Wasn't There" , so I can't comment on that, nor will I vote in the poll.
Second, I have to point out that it was not "the Muslim world" who reacted violently to the Danish cartoons.Originally posted by aneeshm
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 ?
"The Muslim world" is about 1,2 billion people!
I didn't see anything in the news about millions of people running amok and burning whole cities to the ground, which I would have expected if "the Muslim world" had reacted violently. To me it looked more like a few hundred people here and a few hundred people there whipped each other up into a frenzy and caused a lot of trouble. That may be "Muslims" - or "groups of Muslims" - but it's not "the Muslim world".
Third, I would also like to point out that the majority of Muslims would argue that there is no basis in Islam for things like the Fatwah. "The Muslim world" probably doesn't like that stuff any more than "the Christian world" liked the lynchings and cross burning of the Ku Klux Klan.Last edited by Guardian; July 26, 2006, 02:24."Politics is to say you are going to do one thing while you're actually planning to do someting else - and then you do neither."

Muslim version of "1984"I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.
