In the name of entertainment, India cinema has systematically encouraged the anti-Muslim themes as part of cultural terrorism being promoted by Hindutva forces for Hindu votes more than for mere sadistic pleasure.

There are strong anti-Islam networks operating globally spreading poisonous hatred against Islam and targeting Muslims. India is known for its anti-Muslim mindset. Media nuts in India have acquired full liberty to throw mud on Muslims and defame Islam by using anything and everything they think fit for the purpose. Astonishingly even the Indian cinema which is supposed to cater for the societal need for entertainment during leisure hours have resorted to anti-Muslim portrayals.

This poisonous trend is harmful to the communal harmony and even nationhood in the long run.

Unfortunately, more than in Hindi and other languages, it is Tamil cinema which has been insulting Muslims. top actors are cast to discredit Islam and bring bad name for Muslims which harms ordinary Muslims in the society. It seems the directors/producers and censor board have encouraged this anti-Muslim phenomenon in culture.

The process of cultural malign campaigns in cinema and media against Muslims has been going on for years because the fanatics take silence by Muslims as tacit approval of anti-Muslim attacks. Also, because the censor boards supposed to promote cultural integration help the movie makers sow seeds of hatred against Muslims.

Obviously, the censor boards are infested by anti-Muslim fanatic elements and they need to be weeded out and boards reconstituted with genuine people.

It is in this context I appreciate the Tamil Nadu governmental orders for stopping the release of two Tamil moves of big stars in recent days.  Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka have also banned the release of a Kamal film for the same reason. 

Actors and artists need to be very cautious about the anti-Muslim content and anti-Islam phenomena in their movies insulting the helpless Muslims even directly. They are considered by many young people as role models and they have important responsibilities before the society. They should therefore try not to get into the trap of fanatics to belittle Muslims and try only to promote harmony as far as possible.

Films can be produced without insulting Muslims because as minority they would be placed under more strains because of the prevailing anti-Muslim environment in the country. Anti -Muslim outfits like Hindutva forces can easily use it to advance their vote bank politics.

India must ban all anti-Muslim movies that generate hatred towards Muslims and Islam. Tamil cinema is worse than Malayalam counterpart in insulting Muslims.

Targeting Muslims with incurious insults cannot make any real entertainment.  Money and fame earned by anti-Muslim campaigns is dirty. India/Tamil cinema must leave Muslims alone..

Popular cinema should work for real multi-cultural fusion and not to propagate cultural terrorism in any manner.

Cultural terrorism in Indian cinema as offshoot of political and economic terrorism as well as intellectual fanaticism can harm genuine interests of Muslims as major minority, already facing perpetual wrath of ultra Hindutva forces, seeking  Hindu votes by communal means. .

India cannot promote or pamper anti-Muslim entertainments!
