This movie was based on a screenplay by a former Muslim. However, the movie also made claims that Muslims have sex with animals. It also featured a woman in a see-through burka. This was probably viewed as obcene and a calumny by Muslims. Too bad the filmmaker couldn't have stuck to the facts a bit. The mistreatment of women is bad enough without trying to offend people just for the heck of it. He was being provocative. He wasn't trying to get Muslims to rethink their attitudes. He was not criticizing in a constructive way. He was trying to stir things up. He got more than he bargained for.
So let's shoot him and cut his head off? I can't quite make the leap with you.
I think you are taking the leap, not me. This man was trying to start trouble. He also attacked jews.
Had he cared about improving the situation of Muslim women he might have interviewed women and let them speak in a more tasteful way so that Muslims would listen.
He might have interviewed Muslim women who have husbands who respect them, too. There are many Muslim men who are kind and loving husbands. Focus on them and let the others see there is a better way.
This film maker was trying to start trouble, not solve a problem. If you want people to change, you don't do what he did.
He should not be murdered, of course, but he was trying to provoke people.
I Saudi Arabia they are having a lot of public discussions on TV about the rolls of women and men. All the different views get to be heard. Everyone has to be civil.
If you want people to have a change of behavior, you have to change their hearts--not make propagandistic films that accuse people of perversions.
