New ‘Allah’ doc ready to raise a ruckus

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.

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."

Now that’s how you get a fatwa! The KFC and McDonald’s franchises in Mohammadland best buckle up for this one. :o

FURIOUS Muslims have blasted adult shop Ann Summers for selling a blow-up male doll called MUSTAFA SHAG.

They complained that the novelty sex toy insults the Prophet Muhammad — who also has the title al-Mustafa.

The High Street chain's jokey £15 mustachioed doll has a 7in manhood and is targeted at hen parties.

But the Muslim Association — based at Manchester's Central Mosque and Islamic Cultural Centre — branded him "obnoxious".

Yesterday a spokesman said: "This is the name of our Prophet and it's very upsetting. This thing should be banned."

In a letter to the store, the Association said: "You have no idea how much hurt, anguish and disgust this obnoxious phrase has caused to Muslims. We are asking you to have our Most Revered Prophet's name 'Mustafa' and the afflicted word 'shag' removed."

Last night Ann Summers said: "If anyone has a better name, please let us know. We'll happily change it."

The row follows global furore over cartoons which depicted Muhammad as a terrorist. :o Riots in London soon.

I can't decide if this Dubowski guy is very brave or very stupid, I don't think now is the time to cause further upset. Soon he'll be sweating like a Danish cartoonist in Mecca !! No offence intended, personally I'll be actively looking to buy Danish in future. :o

A Muslim with a seven inch appendage ? - somebody somewhere has a good sense of humour, and

they definitely aren't wearing a turban.

A swift circumcision should deflate the tension.

The same thing they are doing in Pattaya, Bangkok and probably Phuket. The kinds of things they aren't allowed to do back home. The kinds of things that they usually trot out to show how decadent the west is, and how morally superior Islam is.

Howcome nobody complained about the character 'Mustafa' in the movie 'Austin Powers: The Spy who Shagged me'?

Er, perhaps that movie never made it to that area of the world....

Wasnt there a suggestion a couple of years ago that Jesus Christ might have been a homosexual (not being critical) due to the fact that he was always hanging around/having last suppers with 12 or was it 13 big butch blokes :o Believe even the Pope at the time had a laugh over it. :D ..u..gotta laugh...

The jury however is still out on the fact (so they say) that he never did the "hanging about" jobby ...nails and all that...but dissappeared up the mountain with Mary Mag (described unfairly as the local b...)and had a whack of kids.... :D imagine tracing back your ancesters back in time and finding that HE was your great great great.......as said gota.. :D

The nuthouse down the road is full of folks who reckon they are descended from JC. They should perhaps be taken seriously. Me?, I'm the Duke of Wellington re-incarnated. :o

While we're at it, let's ban Rossini's opera, The Italian Girl in Algiers. The main character is a buffoon called Mustafa who is completely outwitted and made to look a fool by a female infidel.

Yeah, lets ban the "Mummy" and "The Mummy Returns" too, as most of the Arabs in those movies are not portrayed in a favourable light (like the fat Arab jailer, the Egyptian priest, weasley Benny and others).

Worst of all, the one Arab portrayed as a good guy, is played by an Israeli !!! (I wonder if those movies ever even played in the M.E. ?)

This is hilarious! I have not laughed so much in ages! They either don't get the joke, can't get the joke or should stop shopping in Ann Summers...

Last night Ann Summers said: "If anyone has a better name, please let us know. We'll happily change it."

How about, 'Gagfora shag' or 'Ineeda shag' or we coulld be creative, 'Ivor Shagpole' or 'Paddy Stiffy...

Anyone got any more?

ps 'Ivor Shagpole' is in no way intended to insult the Welsh!

Remember last October, guys like this threatened jihad against Burger King. They thought B.K. was insulting Islam because of a graphic design on their ice cream cones.

Burger King recalls 'sacrilegious' desserts

THE fast-food chain, Burger King, is withdrawing its ice-cream cones after the lid of the dessert offended a Muslim.

The man claimed the design resembled the Arabic inscription for Allah, and branded it sacrilegious, threatening a "jihad".

The chain is being forced to spend thousands of pounds redesigning the lid with backing from The Muslim Council of Britain. It apologised and said: "The design simply represents a spinning ice-cream cone."

The offending lid was spotted in a branch in Park Royal last week by business development manager Rashad Akhtar, 27, of High Wycombe.

He was not satisfied by the decision to withdraw the cones and has called on Muslims to boycott Burger King. He said: "This is my jihad. How can you say it is a spinning swirl? If you spin it one way to the right you are offending Muslims."

A Muslim Council spokesman said: "We commend the sensitive and prompt action that Burger King has taken."

See ? To live in a peaceful, tolerant world, all you have to do is kow-tow to any and everything demanded of you by Islamists. Simple.

Thank you cv, and no, I would not burn your house down or anyone elses for that matter if you state your beliefs.

The original quote was 'where will it all end?'

I believe that this world can only get worse before it can get better. The world (is) will be filled with violence, total lack of morals will be accepted as the norm, there will be wars and rumours of wars, famines, earthquakes, environmental disasters and every other problem our planet can experience.

Then Jesus will return to the earth to reign in righteousness. The wicked will be destroyed, and all evil things will be eradicated. This will happen over a period of time but at the end of this, and this bit is the answer to the question, in revelation 21:4 " And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."

So this present order of things will be done away with and the world will be returned to an Edenic state.

So there, that is in brief, what I believe.

And while we are on the subject, what in the name of all that is holy where Muslims doing in 'Ann Summers'?

The same as the catholic school teacher in my hometown:

Just checking how degenerate 'evil' can get (and buying a few items as evidence). :o

I don't know about Ann Summers, but Ann Murray, YES! :o

Do they have Ann Summers in the USA? I thought it was just a British thing. Bound to be the equivalent I'm sure!

Turning and turning in the widening gyre

The falcon cannot hear the falconer;

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;

Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,

The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere

The ceremony of innocence is drowned;

The best lack all conviction, while the worst

Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;

Surely the Second Coming is at hand.

The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out

When a vast image out of Spritus Mundi

Troubles my sight: somewhere in the sands of the desert

A shape with lion body and the head of a man,

A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,

Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it

Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.

The darkness drops again; but now I know

That twenty centuries of stony sleep

were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,

And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,

Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

W.B. Yeats - 1920

A cracker from WB, One of my favourite poets.

Do they have Ann Summers in the USA? I thought it was just a British thing. Bound to be the equivalent I'm sure!

I guess you don't know who Anne Murray is? Well, that's a good thing and it should stay that way. I have nothing against Ann Summers, I don't really know anything about her, but what I have read here.
