In this time of expecting tolerance from Muslims when Muslims’ sentiments are attacked through cinema and media I would like to express my concern over the misunderstanding among non Muslims brothers and sisters, and clarify them my best about our beliefs and practicing and influences of our behavior by Islam and Muslims’ nature.
Generally non Muslims see Muslims exhibiting a completely strange behavior. The reason is that Muslims following unique belief system which are not understood enough by non Muslim brothers and sisters. Actually the Muslims are having one God Almighty for united worshiping all over the world and a universal framework for believing and practicing. Islam teaches universal brotherhood as all human in the world are from the father Adham(Peace be upon him) and mother Hawwa(Peace be upon her). Islam says all Muslims are to be considered as parts of a same body1.
If the actor Mr. Kamal one who supposed to internalize the character of cinema while scripting, directing, acting had to understand this principle of perceptions of a universal community. I am just wondering how an actor titled ‘Ulaga Nayagan’ is having poor in a reality perceptions. I think the reason is that of being non-religious makes him like this.
So I would like to suggest Mr. Kamal to learn little bit deeper about Islam. And revert to Islam and become Muslim to experience how a Muslim thinks about his fellow Muslim brothers, sisters regardless of countries, colors, languages, ethnicity etc.
Mr. Kamal asks in a press meeting in his home on 30th Jan 2013, ''In the movie the story is happening in Afghanistan and America, I don't know how the Muslims in India are offended?' He is lack of knowledge and lack of abilities in perceiving and thinking.
Please observe Mr. Kamal's innocence and poor perceptions about Islam and Muslims all around the world. He thinks that Muslims of India should forget about universal brotherhood and sentiments, Indian Muslims should not be affected if he designs the events happening in another country. This thinking is wrong calculation of Mr. Kamal and his supporters. If he realizes about Islamic nature of universal brotherhood relations and universal sentiments of unity of God and teachings of Prophet Mohammed, he would not even think of such plot in the story of ‘Vishwaroop’.
Since he himself proclaims that he does not believe religions, there is no guilt in him and becoming comfortable in attacking the religious sentiments of any religion.
Mr. Kamal the atheist is an excellent candidate for invitation to Islam. Since he is telling that he has no religion for himself (he accepted the first part of the ‘Shahadah’ which is ‘Laa Ilaaha’, the remaining part is ‘Illallaa’), he is advised and invited with a promise of unmatched living framework of Islam to live in this world. Then he may get the right guidance and prosperous life. I would like to submit for non Muslim brothers and sisters the same invitation.
God almighty has set the rules and regulations for the universe to operate well from primitive and quantum level. He is the almighty and all knower. Everything in the universe is not beyond His reach.
If God almighty determined to punish a person no one can save him and if He determined to save a soul no other can prevent Him.
May God Almighty shower His blessing on all of us.

1 Authenticated Hadith : Hadrat Nu‘man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him), relates that the Holy Prophet Muhammad (may Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him), said: “The Muslims, in their mutual love, kindness and compassion are like the human body: when one of its parts is in agony, the entire body feels the pain, both in sleeplessness and fever”. (Bukhari : Volume:32: 6258)
