"A Jihad For Love," six years in the making, follows gay and lesbian Muslims battling racial profiling and harassment after the September 11 attacks and subsequent attacks in London and Madrid.Indian filmmaker Parvez Sharma filmed gay Muslims in 12 countries and nine languages, including India, Pakistan, Iran, Turkey, Egypt, South Africa and France, and always shot footage in secret to escape the attention of local authorities.
"We are presenting Islam's most unlikely storytellers," Sharma said of his debut feature, which does not yet have North American distribution.
There is a blog on this film by the director, Parvez Sharma. You can find it here.

A very important issue, the movie looks fascinating and scary.
Support GLBT Rights! Fight those that stone gays to death! Democracy NOT Theocracy!
STOP KUFFARPHOBIA Demo in London, Friday 10/26/07!
I think we all must start calling the Islamofascists 'racists'. We should scream that they are hateful towards the Christian race, and the Jewish race, and the Hindu race, and the Atheist Race, that they are Christianityphobiasts. They will scream that Christianity is not a race, and we'll say:
"See, Islam is NOT a race either.
And by the way, the Bible doesn't say to convert, conquer or kill non-Christians; like the Koran says to do to non-Muslims. So there YOU RACIST hater of non-Muslims! You're a Kuffarphobic!"
Be careful all you in London Friday 10/26!
absurd thought -
God of the Universe says
don't call a spade a spade
Islamist terrorism
not related to Islam
absurd thought -
God of the Universe wants
many Taliban planets
stonings and beheadings
billions killed daily
absurd thought -
God of the Universe says
be very afraid...
of saying the wrong things
TRUTH is especially BAD
