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.

"The world right now needs to understand Islam, and these are the most unlikely storytellers of Islam," Dubowski said, who is producing 'Allah.'

Do gay muslims only bomb guys who aren't cute?

When they prostrate themselves five times a day, it isn't to pray to Mecca.

[Semper Paratus]

If this movie is the straw that breaks the camels back with the muzis can we rename the film Brokeback Camel?

[Army Air Corps]

ROFLAMO!!

That is some of the funniest stuff that I have read in a long time. I could see the "dudes" from the Queer Eye programme launching a spinoff - Queer Eye for the Moslem Guy. They could consult on fabulous new robes for home and work and how to decorate for Ramadan.

och.

[peyton randolph]

I wonder if they are pushing for a Gay Day during the Haj?

Already of the Haj stone-throwing jamboree.

[Darkwolf377]

A real blockbuster, this movie.

After all this will be pitting two victim classes, gays and Muslims against each other.

With substantial overlap between these two classes. Islam's dehumanization of women has had the unintended result of promoting homosexuality between Muslim men.

[Darkwolf377]

I keep laughing at the parenthetical "homo muslim film". Why do I keep thinking "redundant"?

[peyton randolph]

Transgendered Muslims are confused about more than just gender.

Upon a cold, dark desert night......around 1,400 years ago.....

"Excuth me....mithter Muhammad? A word, pleath? I wuth wondering, umm, about Ithlam...and, being a martyr? Well, I wuth jutht curiouth. Do the theventy-two virginth haf to be women? Couldn't they be, well....really thtudly thepard boyth??"

Islam's dehumanization of women has had the unintended result of promoting homosexuality between Muslim men.

By product of any society that dehumanizes it's women. In Early Russian History, the Slavs used the same Haram set up and most men did not meet their wives until their wedding nights. Homosexuality was common in their society.

That's goats or camels, right?

HAAA! Going to be funny watching Euro Surrender monkey pseudo Intellectuals response to this. After all this will be pitting two victim classes, gays and Muslims against each other.

If they pan the movie, they put 50,000 people in a snit. If they praise the film, they mortally offend 1.2 billion murderous thugs. It's pretty easy to guess which way the surrender monkeys run screaming.

[MNJohnnie]

Yes but most of them are part of the 50,000....

[magslinger]

But a swishing surrender monkey is still a surrender monkey.

[MNJohnnie]

True, they will just have to piss off their bitch in order to keep breathing. Why do we even bother with the Eurotrash?

[King Moonracer]

LOL.

[NeoCaveman]

Not that I plan to watch the film, but I'll buy popcorn and watch the TROP response to it.

I don't. In another world I would share your sentiment, but in this one we have troops on the ground in two Muslim countries whose populations will go bat shiite crazy if this airs over there, and it will.

[magslinger]

Why do we even bother with the Eurotrash?

As for me, I owe them a debt of gratitude for kicking my ancestors out of most of Western Europe.

[The Las Vegas Hoodlum]

Oh, this is going to go over well...
