Muslim Filmmaker Announces Plan To Make “The Anti-Fitna”
Watch “Fitna” right heretna….
Saroba Sharif Sajjada Nashin Pir Syed Mudassar Shah has planned to make a documentary on the life of Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) and true teachings of Holy Qur’aan to counter propaganda of the West. The film is considered to be the right answer to blasphemous caricatures published by the Western media and a recent blasphemous movie by a Dutch MP, Geert Wilders. The documentary will also touch the sensitive issue of terrorism.
Addressing a press briefing here on Wednesday, Pir Mudassar Shah said that the film would depict the true image of Islam to the non-Muslim world. To be made in 9 world languages, the ‘World Seerat Mission’ is doing the main research work on the film while a Karachi-based private production house would assist in the production of the documentary film.
However, Pir Mudassar had no satisfactory answer regarding the finances of the film or the actual story or making of the film. He only said that the film would be a true depiction of the Holy Prophet’s (peace be upon him) life and teachings of the Holy Qur’aan.
Answering a question regarding the response to the making of such a film when similar film ‘Message’ made by an Egyptian filmmaker faced outrage from fundamentalist forces resulting in banning the film for a decade, Pir Mudassar said that progressive minded clergy of the country have provided their support through positive response and they agree that its high time the Muslim world should also come out with a film based on the true image of Islam for screening in the Western world.
Answering another question about how he is going to incorporate ‘terrorism’ in the film, he said that he intends to portray the true concept of ‘jihad’ in Islam to denounce the concept of Western terrorism concepts.
Without giving any time-frame, Pir Mudassar urged the media and civil society to support the film just as the Western society and media provided full support to the sacrilege of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) and Holy Qur’aan in the name of ‘freedom of expression’.
