People always threaten when they are scared and they are scared when new ideas come along, these new ideas be they fact or fiction. They go on about freedom of speech and then ban movies from being viewed. I quite agree.

Fast to the death indeed! That's a very cheap way to attract attention. Do they really think they can hold the nation to ransom? Well put, Subrata!

Just what I was looking for. It had to descend into an 'us versus them' didn't it? I came here looking for an honest critique, and was expecting the usual words - 'votebank politics', 'minority appeasement' and such like. But what do I get to read? "Muslims most commonly use this because they, among all religious groups, are the quickest to take offense at all sorts of imagined slights to their religion." Reeks of xenophobia. What else do you expect in the land of Gujarat? Great. Just what I was looking for. It had to descend into an ‘us versus them’ didn’t it?

I don't know why the Indian catholic are so touchy about the film.Dan Brown is an arts historian , whatever he writes as fiction will not endanger one's religious practice.If the "secular" europeans don't give a damn about this kind of film, why should the Indian govt ban it Atanu,

Most of these religious faiths have been around for millenia and survived any number of challenges. Many have survived outright bans and persecutions, far more serious than any book or movie. It is only by countering such challenges that scientific theories, spiritual teaching or cultural development can hope to get established or modified for the better. If a book or movie is able to successfully challenge an established practice or idea, it is probably because it needed changing anyway in the light of new learning. Couldn’t agree more.
