India's top Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan will star in a new movie exploring the issue of Islam in the post 9/11 world and the misperception that all Muslims are terrorists. "My Name is Khan" tells the story of six people with Muslim surnames who suffer suspicion and prejudice years after the September 11 terrorist attacks in the United States. "The movie is about a Muslim person's strife (in telling) people that 'my name is Khan but I am not a terrorist'," Khan told reporters after being conferred the governors' award in Malacca in recognition of his 2001 film "One 2 Ka 4", which was set there and boosted its profile as a tourist destination..."Islam does not in any which way tell you to be violent," he said. "I think the whole concept of jihad, the whole concept of warring needs to be explained as Allah meant it to be in the Koran," Khan said. (Source: Malaysiakini)
Indeed. No religion teaches or tells its followers to be violent. Only followers who have deviated from the truth and follow their own willful way - their evil desire in the name of religion. Maybe Datuk Shah Rukh Khan can also change the perception that Malaysia is a hub for Islamic terrorists.
