A few days ago someone asked Muslims on twitter whether the unrelenting propaganda against them is exhausting.
I wanted to say its more than that , its dangerous.
Every morning I wake up to a large section of people calling a community names.
Name calling, slurs- everything from the peacefuls to puncture wales and even Abdul's and Aftab's. Quoting an out of context verse about killing the infidels (which BTW will sound same if some verses from Geeta/Bible or other religious texts are quoted out of context). Oh not to forget the 72 hoors- a concept which has no basis in Quran or hadith is thrown on my face-Community is shown way to Pakistan or other Muslim majority countries. In this atmosphere the movies like Kerala Story/Kashmir files become a problem.
It is a part of a well thought out, nicely orchestrated plan to demonise Muslims, make them the other in the country of their birth. I as a Muslim have to exert my energies and efforts in proving I am not a traitor every day.
So for people who believe the blatant lies in these propaganda peddling movies, my identity/existence becomes a problem. I become a symbol of any atrocity committed by any king with a Muslim name. I symbolise everything from the jaziyah tax to a gun in the hand of a terrorist with a muslim name.
It becomes a problem when these movies show the mere existence of Muslims as a part of a larger conspiracy.
Leave the community, on a daily basis your religion, your fundamentals, your prophet, the way you look, what you eat is questioned. If that wasnt enough even your God is given Maa Behan ki gali (not that God will mind he has none).
So anything in the name of `freedom of speech' cannot be allowed to spread hate The censor board won’t react unless Deepika is wearing a saffron bikini and similar movie is made tax free and earns hundreds of crores. So if ban is not an option what is?
Remember this is not random, Hitler did the same decades ago.
