There have been hundreds of films made about Jesus Christ and Christianity, why not of Muhammad and Islam? It may be a cliche, but it will certainly help promoting understanding of Islam in not only the Western world, but the whole over.

Why not indeed? Maybe they just havn't found a good enough script but somehow i doubt it, get writing to the studios, as a consumer this is what you want to see.

Something to consider about Islam is that they lack any central leadership, unlike Christianity.  When people are looking for a blanket Christian statement, they typically look to the Catholic church, as it is the most organized.  Islam is far more factionalized.\n\nI admit that the muslim mainstream hasn't responded quite in the way that I had hoped.  It seems that non-american, or at least non-western muslims are curiously silent when islamic terrorists strike against the west and it's interests abroad.  Some, like Pakistan in 2001, rejoiced at it.  \n\nIt's difficult to make any broad assertions regarding Islam, because you risk alienating the few who do have respect for the west, and christianity.  It is perhaps up to these few to provide the extinction of the terrorist mindset that for some reason inflames much of the middle east:  That Israel needs to be destroyed, and the West represents pure evil.\n\nRegarding democrats, I think the party has been misled by people like Michael Moore.  I get the idea that if he had been born in Saudi Arabia, it would've been he who piloted one of the jets on 911.\n\nActors, for some reason, become successful and therefore feel entitled to be political analysts.  Of course, we all have the right to protest, but they take it too far.  The media is the most powerful mover of minds of our time, and they weild it like a nuclear weapon.\n\nI believe firmly that whatever the Right's faults, they've got an innate advantage over the Left, in that they cater more to national security than civil liberties, and with good reason.  With terrorists eternally seeking our destruction, there need to be some sacrifices to our ultimate endurance.

Jesus (pbuh) teachings were exactly the same as Muhammad(pbuh) , they called for the same God which is ONE and Almighty. Jesus and Muhammad both were Holy prophets But Alas !!! Sait Paul has changed the whole concept of christanity and its totaly different now .And they did more damage to their religion by changing Bible hundred of times. there are number of confusions in their religion but wish they admit and seek for the truth. May Allah guide all of us Ameen !!!

Christianity has a long history of converting people "by the sword".  Just because they've decided in recent years that talking people to death is a better way to convert them doesn't mean that they don't have a long and violent history.  As for users of this line seeming content with accepting that any and all Muslims are terrorists, it's been my observation that most of the people who use this line are incredibly narrow-minded and blind to anything beyond what they believe, so are you really surprised that they'd rather stereotype all Muslims than hear an honest depiction of another religion?

nobody really cares that much about Islam in the west.\n\nJust a fact.

I agree with the majority of the people here.  How could we possibly know the rules of Islam when we do not practice it nor study it?  I do believe in religious tolerance (as in don't start war with someone just because they don't believe what you believe).  Jesus himself said that we are not to offend anyone and that we are to live above reproach.  Now that the world knows, I'm sure the incident will not repeat itself.  I need to add that the violent protests are NOT necessary.  The majority of people know about Islam from what we see on television.  It is ridiculous to assume that everyone knew it was forbidden to draw him.

i am for free speech!! keep it up!! muslims should learn tolerance just like Christians had too. it is unfair for groups to say it is wrong to depict mohammand but it is OK to depict Christ.

You are absolutely correct! AMEN to that! Christianity is being told all over the world. In fact many from other religions are turning to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

This has nothing to do with Islam, you don't judge a religion by looking at people but by reading its teaching. I don't judge Christianity or Judaism or any other religion by looking at our society.

i REALLY don't see the problem. people should not just blindly follow a faith but actively question it, otherwise aren't they just sheep??\nThey should neither encourage nor discourage just let people make up their own minds. if the churchgoers are that commited to their religion they are hardly gonna leave it over a movie are they??!!

The problem with Muslims is that you hold to the word of one prophet and ignore the rest. Great prophets in the Old Testament prophesied many times of the coming King and how He would suffer to heal His people. I judge a prophet by his message. That message has to be consistent with all the previous messages from God. Mohammad's message is out of sync. It doesn't teach that blood must be shed to gain forgiveness of sin as both the Old and the New Testaments do. You deny Christ's position. Out of His own mouth He claimed to be the I AM God that spoke to Moses from the burning bush. Adam and Eve Died the day they sinned. They lost the presence of God in their lives and physical death followed. Now God is restored in the Lives of the Christian Gos walk with us in our daily walk before Him. We are alive Spiritually again. We still carry with us the body of sin that is subject to physical death. When it is gone our spirits go to the Father who created them and so we are ever with the Lord. I don't know as you can understand the two deaths physical and spiritual because I don't know your teaching that well. All I need to know about Islam is that you deny that Jesus is God. That tells me that your religion is closer to a cult than it is to God...   Jim

The movie media has always been used for propaganda.  Some push overt messages, others, subtle messages.  And "Unholywood" is very liberal at this time; and liberals hate religion.  These sound like the subtle sort.\n\nWhat's particularly despicable of this in this movie is that it will be viewed by many, many children, who will be subconsciously imprinted with this negative image of religion.

Yes. The reason why is because such movies glorify sin. Cutting of people's arms, rape, and other evil actions. These movies do not lift your mind up to highger things, such as your salvation nor do they add to the Glory of God.

think about it as like this. \n\ncatholic to christianity is like shia to muslim. \n\nmuslim sunni follow and respect the words of the Quran and Muhammad only. \n\nShia take the words of the Quran, Muhammad and Ali. but mostly focus on Ali. \n\nShia sometime add things to Islam that are not necessary related to Islam.

I suspect it's because Mohammed is considered by Muslims to be the supreme prophet, the greatest man who has ever lived.  David and Soloman have never been touted as near-perfect human examples for people to follow.  Jesus, on the other hand, is for Chiristians what Mohammed is for Muslims.  Not exactly, of course, but it's a closer comparison than David or Soloman.  If Jesus had several marriages or had sex with young girls, people would analyze that behavior just as bluntly.  Look at the huge furor that the DaVinci Code has created, especially with the suggestion that Jesus was married.  People rightly expect their religious leaders to behave better than others.  The discussion is still there, you're just looking at the wrong person to compare Mohammed to.

Of course you can. If i study Islam all my life there are still new things to learn. Its impossible to know everything before becoming a Muslim. I have no need for new testaments or old testaments i have my Quran which is the finale book from God. Have i read the bible? yes.

Its more than likely that they are just curious. As a christian i didn't know anything about the Muslim religion until 9/11. It then became a big topic. Ive learned a lot and have also sought out info on other religions and just generally like to hear about other religions. Its just curiosity.
