Is Marriage Blasphemous.
I was rather shocked, when I came across this Article here - Muslim groups want Da Vinci Code banned.
I totally agree that hurting religious sentiments is not correct, and will stand against such deliberate defamation, but what is rather atrocious is the reason they cite.
Why is it these people don`t feel that the policy of triple talaq is blasphemous ? Why don`t they raise their voices about a man having more than one wife. ? Why is it that they don`t raise voices against racism, terrorism and other evils in the society as enthusiastically. ???
With all respect to the Holy Quran and the entire Muslim Community in India, it doesn`t matter what this movie conveys, it`s already a bestseller as a book.

Just because a man is married, does it mean that he is no more a righteous person, does he lose all his virtues just because he married..? Does he lose to qualify in being a prophet just because he tied the knot.In the Holy Koran it is written clearly that Jesus is one of our prophets.
The film Da Vinci Code says Jesus was a married man. That is blasphemous

"The film shows our Prophet Jesus Christ in a bad light. I have not read
the book but I am told that the author says Prophet Jesus Christ had a child.
This will not be tolerated by any Muslim," said Maulana Saeed Noori, general
secretary, Raza Academy, an organisation that works for the uplift of
Muslims.

Now to hear the Muslims say tht...
You r absolutely right...Wht about the way they marry and treat others...Very smart question asked...
I have read the book n guess would see it too tomorrow!! :)
I feel, people shouldn't be giving any importance to such religious fanatics. They are big time n00bs :) If I were you, I wouldn't waste precious bytes of memory on these fools.
Have a nice time, watching the movie..
@Dhruv : You`re right. THere should only be philosophy and faith, nothing should be earmarked as religion. lol! dhruv, how do you look at everything in terms of bits and bytes.
But the whole intent of religion became corrupt in the course of time and it became what you are talking about - fanaticism, divide etc.
(Means, I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm merely adding a PS note :) )
@Srijith: If you ask me, religion is philosophy and faith. (Some people, "fanatics" we call them, don't think so. That is another issue)
What I believe is that every single person has a unique religion for himself, i.e. unique faith and unique principles.
BTW, have you read about a news about a papyrus called "Gospel of Judas" which was unearthed in Egypt? It had proof that Judas was not a traitor at all!! Another distortion of facts by the Vatican?
(The church had enraged me when they said that Harry Potter series promoted witchcraft.)
The furor over the Da Vinci Code is ridiculous to say the least. Only the person who is insecure with his faith will start shouting over something as trivial as a movie or a book.

@Ram : The furore is ridiculous, and your thoughts about selective perception do strike a chord.
The movie Da Vinci Code = no spice in the movie...kind of boring.
Well, I am not religious. But I do understand the religious people's anxiety on this issue. 2000 yrs theory that Jesus is the Son of God who didn;'t marry is wrong..that hurts!!! he is afterall a human being married and made a women pregnant...that hurts!!! I understand though i do not agree with them...But only fanatics who disagree and ban the book or the movie...
I bet there are all hidden agendas
Like the chance to get noticed
the chance to cause a stir and restlesness
no tolerance they have huh ?
well to each one his / her own ...
cheers,
abhi

and more surprising is that it was not banned in many catholic countries..
