We are here in Sheffield
More to come. Oh! England, gorgeous and decrepit-Britannia, having colonized so many of our souls.Britannia ofcourse has had no choice but to jump head first into the battle for the soul of Islam. The discussions around Islam in Britian today remain at the forefront of how these debates will unfold in years to come.
Come one, come all to the screenings and the link is here
Hassan Mirza of Gay.Com has done an excellent feature on the film and that can be found when you click here-please post your comments to the feature interview and article.
Fascism is alive and well, in the words and actions of the likes of David Horowitz. The ignorance of these people is immense and many lobbies prevent us from correcting their ill informed actions in the United States. For more look here

hi,
I was wondering if your film is available for purchase anywhere yet?
thanks
I was at the showing of your documentary in Sheffield last night--it was a beautiful & moving film and you clearly struck the right tone in its presentation. Congratulations on a great achievement.
What an absolutely wonderful film. i've just done a post about it here: http://feministphilosophers.wordpress.com/2007/11/10/a-jihad-for-love/.
Saw your film last night in Sheffield on Saturday, excellent and most worthy effort that brought tears to the eyes of those who never cry.
Thank you for all that you have done and may your days be blessed.
good film but the DEBATE and dialogue is seems to be that between Deaf and Dumb people. why can'nt you be more logical in propogating your views. here goes that debate of DEAF people.
gay point of VIEW --> they quote millions and millions of example in Current times and in the ages gone by. they argue that say 100 million gay muslims exist in current age and same percentage of gay people existed since time immorial.
Muslims Argument --> they say that several evils like adultary, fornification,pornography, bribery, cheating, MURDER, sodomy, Killing unborn females in their Wombs. all these evils are prevalent among muslims and non-muslims in current age as well as in ages gone by. They argue that DEFINATION OF GOOD or BAD WILL BE DETERMINED by the HOLY KORAN and by lifea nd teachings of PROPHET.
Now most the muslim apologist or gay sympathisers are deliberately and intentionally are BYPASSING the real issues.
entire islamic jurisprudence and multiple of KORANIC verses condems and abuses homosexuality.
therefore Islam and homosexuality caznnot COEXIST peacefully. HOWEVER IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT GAY MUSLIMS have no feature. in the past gay muslims as well as STRAIGHT Muslims enjoyed life to the hilt by leading a life in quite opposite to KORAN and PROPHET. YEZID the 2ND ruler of Ummayyad dynastay was bixual. it is said that he was wife of every handsome man and he was husband of every beautuful woman. but these people of PAST and PRESENT could lead a healthy life only bt subjugating ISLAM. if islam wins then all lovers of alcohol, fornificators, adultatrous, gays etc will suffer. if muslims like parvez sharma wins then ISLAM has to be subdued. this is precisely what neo conservatives and zionist are doing.
irrespective of the fact whether we agree or disagree with opponets modernity we have to acknowledge that islamist are well read people and their logic is sharp and precise.
how are we going to define GOOD or BAD. people who make Bible, old testament, geeta KORAN etc as their guide and philosopher never go asray. they are the people of GOD. I am 45 years old HINDU WOMAN and i believe that we should decide our problems according to scriptures

Iqbal, How can you possibly connect the filmmaker to Neocons and Zionists? In fact, I'm not really understanding your argument at all. Furthermore, you say "entire islamic jurisprudence and multiple of KORANIC verses condems and abuses homosexuality." I do not know the Koran, but I did take away from the film that the Koran itself has very little to say about these things, and that it is writings like the Hadith that have been taken as the word of God.
thereis nothing unusual in being Gay Muslim and ARAB. there are plenty of evils like murder, INCEST, rape, homosexuality, pornography etc many many evils are existing among muslims as well as non-muslims. KORAN deplores and condemns these evils. surely you will meet many propagaters of SATAN under the garb of human rights and civil liberties but if you believe in hell and heaven in the life hereafter then what will you do to protect yourself from ALLAH's wrath. IN CASE IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE IN LIFE HEREAFTER THEN nothing to worry about. KORAN is not for non-muslims, ex-muslims like salman rushdie or imposter muslims
