Here we go again: a new Bollywood movie presents Muslims as victims, never mentioning the multitudes who are the victims of Islamic jihadis.
After working in a critically acclaimed film Mulk, which talked about Islamophobia and dealt with other social issues, Bollywood starlet Taapsee Pannu feels happy but disturbed at the same time.
“I am very happy with the way the audience has received the film but at the same time, I feel disturbed with the way some communities are picked out and targeted by the society,” Pannu said in a statement.
Another actor in the film states that “It’s very disturbing to realise that a particular religion is being targeted.”
Indeed, it is very disturbing when any innocent individual is targeted for merely having a different creed and/or race. What is more disturbing, however, is when members of one religious group are given carte blanche permission to hate other groups, and even persecute, torture, and murder them indiscriminately, and sexually assault them in the name of their religion, while still being portrayed as victims.
What has taken over sensible minds and robbed them of their ability to see the obvious? No matter how much misery that is inflicted upon humanity in the name of Islam, the focus worldwide has turned to “Islamophobia.” Even in Western countries, Muslims perpetrate violent assaults against infidels, yet these continue to be ignored; the focus remains on “Islamophobia.”
Mulk was filmed in India. Yet the reality of the centuries-long and brutal jihad against India, and the fallout from it that exists to this day, is largely ignored. Hindus are still targeted by Muslims, so much so that a website has been named “Struggle For Hindu Existence.” Still, “Islamophobia” is a primary focus.
Muslims are not being systematically targeted for their faith, or for their so-called “race.” Islam is not a race. People are increasingly waking up to realize what it means to be an infidel, an apostate, an inferior in accordance with Islamic law. It is, or should be, glaring that organized Islamic groups on Western soil (most of which have been identified as having links to jihad terror) have little to say about the ongoing abuses sanctioned by their religion. They instead bully and intimidate Westerners into fearing to be branded “Islamophobic.”
Those who care enough about freedom and human rights to call out the countless abuses committed in the name of Islam are deemed “Islamophobic” and marginalized. Islamic supremacist groups and leaders have been conditioning the citizens of democratic societies by lumping those who attack Muslims simply for being Muslims (a rare and always unacceptable occurrence) into the same category as those who call out the abuses being committed by Muslims (regular occurrences worldwide). It is an insulting conflation, calculated to place Islam above every other faith. It is most disturbing that Islamic abuses against infidels and apostates are virtually ignored, as world leaders increasingly follow the marching orders of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, which has been forcing the “Islamophobia” subterfuge upon the world for decades.
One review of the film states:
Mulk throws light on how people fall prey to political agendas that intend to divide the country on the basis of ‘us’ vs ‘them’. It also digs deeper into how hate propaganda against any religion (in this case Islam) is destructive for a nation and the very fabric of our society.
If only Muslim groups would call out and condemn the abuses committed against infidels, apostates, gays, women; Hamas and the Palestinian charters that vow to destroy Israel, as well as the genocidal rhetoric against Israel; and the Muslim Brotherhood plan for the subversion and conquest of North America. All of that is hateful and threatening to human rights. This is the real “‘us’ vs ‘them'” that is doing damage to the world today. But how likely is that to happen?
“Disturbed by how some communities are targeted: Taapsee Pannu,” IANS, November 25, 2018:
After working in a critically acclaimed film Mulk, which talked about Islamophobia and dealt with other social issues, Bollywood starlet Taapsee Pannu feels happy but disturbed at the same time.
“I am very happy with the way the audience has received the film but at the same time, I feel disturbed with the way some communities are picked out and targeted by the society,” Pannu said in a statement.
The 31-year-old, wanted to bring a change in society through the film. She said, “I took up this film to stand up for them and initiate a change. There were a few apprehensions initially about the character that I play, but I can now say with conviction that they have been put to rest.”
Directed by Anubhav Sinha, the film also featured actors Rishi Kapoor, Rajat Kapoor, Neena Gupta, Prateik Babbar and Ashutosh Rana in pivotal roles. Soon, Mulk will be telecast on the small screen and Pannu and Sinha want people to understand “what the film has actually tried to convey. I hope that with the television premiere, the message is conveyed and people realise it, thus taking that step against creating a difference,” added the actor.
In the film, Pannu played a lawyer who is determined to clear her Muslim client’s name from treason allegations because she believes he’s being targeted because of his religion. When asked about this happening in real life, the Soorma actor said, “I’ll give you an example from my own life. My manager is a Muslim, my driver, my house help are Muslims. If I were to feel disturbed in their presence, then I would be disturbed whole day and night because my life is run by them. It’s very disturbing to realise that a particular religion is being targeted.”……
