Brickbat: Banned in Tamil Nadu

Officials in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu have banned the release of "Vishwaroopam," a spy thriller about a dancer who foils a terrorist attack on New York, after Muslim groups complained it portrays Muslims in a bad light. The government said it feared protests of the film could become violent. The film has also been banned in the United Arab Emirates, Sri Lanka, and Singapore.

...a dancer who foils a terrorist attack on New York, after Muslim groups complained it portrays Muslims in a bad light.

So in the movie the dancer stops it because groups complained the attack would reflect negatively on Muslims? That's such a convoluted plot that I don't blame the Injuns for banning it.

The government said it feared protests of the film could become violent.

We need to get Muslims to protest against NPR, CNN, NBC and ABC.

Imagine how they would feel if it had portrayed the Tamil Tigers as terrorists.

"Muslim groups complained it portrays Muslims in a bad light."

The rest of the rational world complained that Muslims make Muslims look bad.
