Muslims don't fuss about anti muslim
Apparently, the man who issued the fatwa does not represent Islam. Yet you do, and you're publically called him a scumbag.
In fact I recently read a recent article, when Salman Rushdie went to India recently, of the Muslim league of India offering an award of 100,000 rs to the person who will publically blacken(literally) his face. In fact, the Muslim league threatened the state, that if Salman Rushdie is not ejected from the country, they will start riots.
Do they also not represent Islam?
So you don't make a fuss eh? Not from what my research has uncovered:
Dharamputra (1961)
Yash Chopra’s directorial debut involved two families -- one Hindu and the other Muslim -- living in harmony until Partition rips them apart. The film immediately triggered off communal strife all over the country. What incensed fundamental forces was the idea of a Muslim man falling in love with a Hindu girl. Irate mobs disrupted screenings of the film all over the country and it was taken off even before it was properly screened.
Chopra vowed never to make a controversial film again.
Bombay (1995)
It was Shekhar Kapur who once said 'intercommunal romances are okay. But never a Hindu-Muslim liaison.' The perennial rule breaker Mani Ratnam broke the unwritten law when he showed his Muslim heroine Manisha Koirala eloping and marrying his Hindu hero Arvind Swamy and getting trapped in the vortex of the 1993 Mumbai riots.
The film had a Bal Thackeray-like figure played by Tinnu Anand. The Shiv Sena supremo’s consent was sought over-and-above the official Censor Board before the film’s release. All hell broke loose after Bombay’s release. Theatres screening the film were threatened with dire consequences and a bomb was hurled at the director at his home in Chennai. Who said filmmaking is a safe endeavour?
Riots in Bhopal over "Gadar"
There have been riots in Bhopal as the Muslims have objected to some scenes in the new Sunny Deol, Amisha Patel movie "Gadar-Ek Prem Katha". The movie set during the Indo-Pak partition deals with the travails of Kartara Singh (Sunny) and Sakina (Amisha), who play the roles of a Sikh and a Muslim respectively. What apparently set the mob off were a couple of scenes where the Muslim girl is show offering namaz wearing a vermillion dot. There are other scenes in the movie which have been considered to be vulgar and anti-Muslim. Police had to resort to lathi charge and firing of tear gas shells to control the mob which was pelting stones and throwing petrol bombs at the movie theater. Police say that the movie was passed by the censor board and there is nothing much they can do about it. But they suspect the handiwork of a local politician behind the incident.
I also distinctly remember the the mobs started by Muslims a while back, in this war movie from India called BORDER. Multiple theatres were burnt down, and many died. Here in London, we had fights at the theatres, and I remember reading, how security was tightened at theatres where this movie was showing.
The whole fuss was over a 2 min scene, showing a hut burning from mortar fire, and an Indian soldier running into the flaming hut and getting the Quran for an old Muslim man. I watched it out of curiosity, and there was absolutely nothing anti-muslim about it.
Now, do none of these represent Islam either. Don't be hypocritical.
Regarding muslims being burned in India. You are probably right, and probably the same is happening to some Hindu's. It is not a state problem, especially when the president of India is a muslim.
You are generalizing all the time "we musilms don't fuss" "Hindu's are burning muslims" all cultures are capable of irrationality, prejudice and dire acts, it is deep-seated in our human psyche. However don't generalize. Not all jews are fussing over The Passion of Christ. Not all muslims burn down theatres. Not all Hindu's burn Muslims.
