Film about gay muslims coming soon...
This film is needed....but will it be shown in muslim countries?
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.Trembling before G-d was a terrific film about orthodox jews who are gay. If this new film is the same quality, this will be good news for everybody.
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.'
Doc will undoubtedly prove an even thornier film to export than "Trembling."
Sharma and Dubowski plan to submit the pic to all major festivals in the Muslim world as well as in the West, but if it's rejected, Dubowski said, "We'll find ways of screening it in every Muslim nation, even if it's underground."

Look for fatwas to be issued against every gay Muslim featured in the film.
Will it be shown in Muslim countries? Once the ever-offended Mohammadans protests, will it be shown ANYWHERE?
To be fair, they should talk about all the health issues Muslims gays face because of shoving their penises in each others butts.. This is serious issue for (Muslim) gays..
And we all know that gays and anal sex are inextricably linked - see latest Egale push to lower anal sex age of consent..
