Jihad for Love

It's a movie about gay Muslims around the world, figured it'd be something worth posting here.

Wow. Didn't see that one happening for another 10 years at the least. Interesting though.

I've gotta say though. Who is really the good guy? Who is really the devil worshipper? The man who forces others to live by his own views and rules through force and murder? Or the guy who just wants the ability to live as he is?

One of these men forces his belief on someone and tells the other how to live. That is oppression. The other just wants to be himself. That is human.

One resorts to murder when he does not get his way. That is a crime. The other just tries to appeal through negotiation. That is maturity and intelligence.

Funny how someone can think that they are serving the will of a savior and merciful entity when they commit crimes isn't it? Even funnier how they think a greater being would even need their servitude. A great being would not need the services of a narrow minded murderer and bully.

Interesting how they think this greater entity is so cruel. Why would such a powerful and awesome being really be that evil? Simple answer. It isn't. Men are evil and they will use anything they can get their hands on to control others. To enforce their own views and belief on others. Why? Because they are weak. Only someone who is weak needs others to see things as they do. Strong people do not care about what others think. They are not insecure about themselves and need backup. In this case they create it.

How pathetic.

I personally want to see this film. I've been watching a few things on You Tube about homosexuals in Arab countries (namely Iran) and it's touched me. Moreso, I think, because I've been toying with the thoughts of converting to Islam (a more liberal aspect of it, anyway).
