Gay Muslim Movie 'Allah' ready to raise a ruckus

New 'Allah' doc ready to raise a ruckus

Dubowski vows to screen pic in every Muslim nation

By ED MEZA


Sandi Dubowski, who won the Teddy gay and lesbian award in 2001 for his controversial doc "Trembling Before G-d," may cause an even bigger stir with "In the Name of Allah," which explores the struggles of homosexual Muslims.

Gay Indian Muslim helmer Parvez Sharma is directing the pic, which looks at gay, lesbian, and transgender Muslims across the Muslim and Western worlds.

"The world right now needs to understand Islam, and these are the most unlikely storytellers of Islam," Dubowski said, who is producing 'Allah.'

Doc will undoubtedly prove an even thornier film to export than "Trembling."

Sharma and Dubowski plan to submit the pic to all major festivals in the Muslim world as well as in the West, but if it's rejected, Dubowski said, "We'll find ways of screening it in every Muslim nation, even if it's underground."

Dubowski already faced problems with the international release of "Trembling Before G-d." Pic faced protests and bans in South Africa, Mexico and Baltimore.

But Dubowski has managed to open doors in the Hasidic and Orthodox communities in Israel, U.S. and U.K. and has toured the world over the past five years doing 800 live events with diverse religious and secular groups.

 

OMG.. big disaster!!

 

Hehehe, I think they tried with the political cartoons to provoke a mass suicide, didn't work, I wonder how many Muslims will simply spontaneously combust upon hearing this. Hehehe.

 

OK, so are you saying the 72 virgins are men?

Holy shit! There's gonna be alot of pissed off terrorists!

 

Just two words for a good movie title:
Brokeback Muslims

Could be, could be!

72 little boys (muslim history rife with little boys for the old sheiks)

Memory flash...there was a WWII movie (set in North Africa) about a gang of soldiers going for some fuel depot of the germans. Two of the characters were local arabs, gay, who loved each other.

 

I never thought year 2006 would be this exciting!

 

Muhammad Atta is taking it up the ass from a gay angel right now!
