Ban on Vishwaroopam
Islam does not forbid healthy discussions on religion. In fact it is liberal “Revile not those unto whom they pray beside Allah lest they wrongfully revile Allah through ignorance. Thus unto every nation have We made their deed seem fair. Then unto their Lord is their return, and He will tell them what they used to do”. Here the issue seems political. When religious groups become political, they lose the right to claim that they represent God.In fact the above verse clearly indicates that God is capable of taking care of himself. What does Azhar mean ‘one wrong and another wrong’ ? Hate speech is different. In his movie ‘Hey Ram’, Kamalahasan criticized a Hindu fundamentalist. If the issue is, head count of how many Muslim Terrorist, Christian Terrorist,Hindu Terrorist, Jewish etc. Then let Azhar read up history….all religions and political dogmas,have indulged in violence; so God is the greatest terrorist because he has given so many Prophets contradicting each other. In fact the title ‘Vishwaroopam’ becomes apt, because in the Gita, the Vishwaroopam of Lord Krishna is said to have terrorized Arjuna into submission. What secular Muslim outfits should do is call for a fatwa against the juvenile who supposedly brutalized Nirbhaya. They should also ensure that the poor backward Muslims in various states of India are at least capable of offering once in a day.That they are morally strong enough to shun pornography. “Tell those who believe, to forgive those who do not look forward to the Days of Allah: It is for Him to recompense (for good or ill) each People according to what they have earned. (45:14)”
