Most Indian films are unreal patriarchal musical. I don’t watch Indian films unless the films are made by excellent filmmakers like Satyajit Ray, Ritwik Ghatak, Aparna Sen, Rituparno Ghosh, Kaushik Ganguly, Shyam Benegal, Adoor Gopalakrishnan, Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Viswaroopam is not my kind of film. I will not watch the film but I will defend the rights of others to watch it. It is a spy thriller film, directed by Kamal Haasan, a South Indian actor.
Muslim groups wanted a ban on screening of Viswaroopam, so it was banned. The film was also banned in Malaysia and UAE.
Coward countries are banning the film. Coward cinemas are not going to show the film. Almost everybody is having a fear of Muslim fanatics. Almost everything in this modern world hurt the sentiments of Muslims. The fanatics have the freedom to do whatever they like. They can make books, films, paintings banned if they want. They can threatened to kill anyone. And they can get away with it.
Democracy will not be real democracy, freedom of expression will remain a myth, human rights will continue to be violated if the authorities continue banning everything Muslim fanatics ask for. The authorities should stop bowing their heads before the weird demands of ignorant idiots. Islam must not be exempt from the critical scrutiny other religions have gone through. If Muslim fanatics try to burn the cities, destroy public properties, start riot, they should be punished for the crimes they commit. They have no right to escape the law only because they are Muslims and they have sentiments. Short sighted politicians who try to appease Muslim fanatics are the enemies of the countries. It is time to reject them. The world will be a better place if the authorities stop being afraid of religious fanatics.

Too bad they don’t just content themselves with making art and literature outlining how great Islam is.. oh wait, nobody would fall for that anyways.

Good article, but a little bit off in the end.
It is not fear of the ‘fanatics’ – the fanatics and extremists would be very GLAD to see Muslims portrayed as them!T That is their goal – to pressurise middle-of-the-road Muslims to take sides.
What such films do is give more recruits to the fanatics and extremists. Think about it.

I wonder why only muslims always have sentiments and always looking for some kind of reasons to justify their act?
Do muslim believe that non muslims will tolerate all the time?How many people times muslim need to prove that they’re right and others are wrong……well forgive me brother i do trust muslims that they’re indeed from respected religion but after i go through all the wrong doing by muslims and yet always deny their action is why they’re not respected anymore because it is true that most of the extremists are muslims and you(muslims) cannot deny it……you may say all religious have extremist may be you’re right but their’re not slaughtering people like cattle like muslim terrorists.
The problem is with their religious because of the teching is not right thats why they act like barbarians and they will say Islam is given by ALLAH to eliminate barbarian era….bull shit.
This world will be peaceful and all the people can live happily if ISLAM never exist……this is fact and true.
All the problems are started by muslims because even world population converted to Islam still peace will not be achieved….just look at muslim majority countries..are they living in peace or will they respect the non muslims?
The only way to make muslims to realize that non muslims starting to side lining them is to boycott muslims services and product and don’t donate blood or organ to muslims…let they get from their beloved brothers and sisters from all over the world.

Excellent article expressing the truth !
The attitude of GOVTs would never change, It is Fear of fanatics !! the authorities would never stop being afraid of religious fanatics. Because in our country every matter every incident ultimately ends up into politics, Govt takes every action against or in favor of any incident keeping in mind that is that action is going to increase their vote bank or decrease it. I feel for the Cinema Hall owners, they are scared of those Muslim Fanatics they know those fanatics can do anything. They don’t fall in human category. If our govt was brave enough they would have supported the film to be screened properly. freedom of expression will remain a myth in our countries, what else we can expect here? here cartoonist cant express their thought, Writers cant write the truth.Govt itself is guilty & these encourages those religious fanatics.They get encouragement directly or indirectly from the Govt itself. these religious fanatics are born to do this nasty things, this is their nature,This is in born instinct, Actually the fact is Govt doesn’t know how to nip things in the buds. Does our Govt know how countries like JAPAN treats Muslim fanatics ? yes Govt knows but pretends to be blind, we can borrow chapters after chapters of principles from other countries Constitution but we cant follow their steps which makes them better from other countries ! Shame !!

Freedom of speech is a fact, but absolute freedom of speech is pure nonsense. It does not exist in reality.
Take the following analogy; The whole of India knows about our lawyer politician Subramaniya Swamy and his views on Tamil Eelam and his hatred towards Tamil tigers after they were accused of masterminding the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi.
Now let us say Swamy produces a Tamil language movie. The main theme of the movie is justifying the oppression, persecution, atrocities, massacre, killings and slaughter of the Sri Lankan Tamils by the “peace loving” Buddhist army of Sinhalese and to equate the fact the fact that the struggle for a separate Tamil Eelam is similar to Zionism of Israel.
The film gets approval by the Delhi censor board but a huge majority of 7 crore Tamil population in TN protest and threaten a massive law and order situation in the country. What should the TN Govt do? Remember a few Sri Lankan air force guys who came to TN for training were sent back to Sri Lanka simply because the Tamils did not want Sinhalese getting training in TN
There is a big double standard in our dealings. Are minorities measured by a different yard stick?
I agree the film Viswaroopam should be eventually allowed but the same Indian constitution gives the people concerned to make a protest based on the same law.
