Description:

Not my rip, thought I would share. In a time, when Islam is under tremendous attack-from within and without-'A Jihad for Love' is a daring documentary-filmed in twelve countries and nine languages. Muslim gay filmmaker Parvez Sharma has gone where the silence is strongest, filming with great risk in nations where government permission to make this film was not an option. A Jihad for Love is the first-ever feature-length documentary to explore the complex global intersections of Islam and homosexuality. With unprecedented access and depth, Sharma brings to light the hidden lives of gay and lesbian Muslims from countries like Iran, Pakistan, Egypt, Turkey, France, India, and South Africa. The majority of gay and lesbian Muslims must travel a lonely and often dangerous road. In many nations with a Muslim majority, laws based on Quranic interpretations are enforced by authorities to monitor, entrap, imprison, torture and even execute homosexuals. Even for those who migrate to Europe or North America and adopt Western personae of "gay," the relative freedoms of new homelands are mitigated by persistent racial profiling and intensified state surveillance after the terrorist attacks in New York, London and Madrid. As a result, many gay and lesbian Muslims end up renouncing their religion. But the real-life characters of A Jihad for Love aren't willing to abandon a faith they cherish despite its flaws. Instead, they struggle to reconcile their ardent belief with the innate reality of their being. The international chorus of gay and lesbian Muslims brought together by A Jihad for Love doesn't seek to vilify or reject Islam, but rather negotiate a new relationship to it. In doing so, the film's extraordinary characters point the way for all Muslims to move beyond the hostile, war-torn present, toward a more hopeful future. As one can imagine, it was a difficult decision for the subjects to participate in the film due to the violence they could face. However, those who have come forward to tell their stories feel this film is too important for 1.4 billion Muslims and non-Muslims around the world for them to say no. They are willing to take the risk in their quest to lay equal claim to their profoundly held faith. "A Jihad for Love' is produced by Sandi DuBowski (Director of Trembling Before G-d) in association with ZZDF-Arte Channel 4, and LOGO. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0780046/

Personally I don't give a shit about gay Muslims enough to watch a documentary on it. If they like their own sex - fair enough, but did it really need a documentary?
The name made me lol in my pants though, so not a compelte waste of time :P
(Anyone wants to call me a homophobic phillistine, take a deep breath and try not to take shit so seriously - I got no axe to grind with Muslims, Jews, Gays, Transgenders or Mormons,etc. I might hate the French, but that's mostly because a guy called Pierre stole my pogs when I was a child)

Is it not enough that the western world is full of these gay people?

I guess I can never swallow the truth that lack of understanding and prejudice are a landmark of our species that so characteristically shares "team violence" with nobode else in the animal kingdom but the closest apes.
I can never swallow the ease most people exhibit in rationalising in cheap phony ways their inner fear and rejection of difference. How they lump those "others" up in an undifferentiated apalling "otherness" that we... love to hate.
I am really mortified to read hate comments once more... and especially here, a supposedly free thinking environment that flirts with alternative ideas.
Jihad for love is a daring attempt to speak of what is most taboo in violently suppressive macho culture! The guy risked his life to do this excellent documentary. Show some respect at least... I think.
