[Poll] Are Movies Insulting Muslims After The 9/11 Attack.

Hey people,
Most of the movies movies insult the Muslims. Indian movies mostly insult the Muslims because of the Muslims in India are mostly from their neighbouring country, Pakistan. They think that Muslims are bad guys. I mean that Hindus think that Muslims are the bad guys, and now the Americans also think that Muslims are the bad guys, especially after the 9/11 attack. If something happens there are many movies releasing on that incident. After an attack by terrorists of an religion there are many movies releasing which insult that religion. I am talking about the 9/11 attack.

The 9/11 attack has made a great difference. After the attack, for a while Muslims weren't allowed to enter U.S and I have a heard a few movies about how difficult it was for Muslim people to enter US. However, I don't think the number or movies about that has increased or something or that became the major topic. It's as usual.

I don't watch a lot of hindi movies but I think that there might be a bit increase in the number of movies that are insulting Muslims because I have seen that if an incident occurs which becaomes kind of famous, there are many movies releasing on it. For example, a submarine of the Russain Navy sank in the Berring Strait killing 112 soldiers. Later there were so many movies releasing with the same story.

well me personally....no i wouldn't make a movie that insults muslim people....no religion teaches ppl to kill, such as the 9/11 incident....but for quite a few moviemakers it doesn't really matter i guess...it's all about how much money they can make, and if insulting ppl get it's done then they will do it

You would have to be so much more specific as to what Movie and for what reason. Every American Movie is Insulting. Just as every opinion like the one I just made is insulting to someone. Everyone is insulted all of the time by something they in no way agree with.
Think of a normal ordinary Muslim Movie and play that in the United States. How many people would watch the movie that were not Muslim and that wanted to go see that specific Movie.
Movies: ALL MOVIES are made for REACTION.
Movies that are NICE are never made. A few nice people walking around... boring. Action!, Attack!, Kill!, Steal!, Dirt!, Dirty Laundry!, Sexxx... drugs... people getting taken advantage of and getting insulted or assaulted...
I AM OFFENDED! but no not offended as normal but OFF-END-DEAD. I no longer go see movies as I see how Humans make fun of other Humans and that goes for all sides. While Humans pay to see themselves being made fun of just to get insulted and have a reason to act out aggression in reality.
Of course Muslims are offended. The same way all religions practice the being above others. Few people truly LOVE their enemy as allowing the enemy to even cross a line placed in the sand.
Take a dollar out of someones pocket and you will see who the terrorist is. Only a few will take out an extra 20 dollar bill and ask if you need the money. The U.S. where I am from is FULL of terrorists who say CLEARLY... DO NOT TAKE IT OUT OF MY POCKET >OR<...
The problem is not the Money, Drugs, Guns, Condoms, etc... The problem is obvious but who is gonna stop a red bloodied AMERICAN!!! Muslims are in a long line of those trying to get a chance. This is why we are soon to be in World War 1 PART THREE (3). Nothing has changed as everyone gets ready. I Am. in the Country of Texas which should be named a continent from the way people think so I get a front row seat as one day my own people will take offense and KILL ME TOO as I LOVE my Enemy and do not have to go as far as a Muslim Country or a nearby Mosque. I can just visit my Church and they would burn me out front for even suggesting these things. America GOOD!!!

To be honest, I have not watched those movies that convey such provocative messages yet. However, I am aware that 9/11 attack has significant impact on the public image of Muslims. I saw a journal on deviantART. There was a Caucasian girl performing a social experiment by dressing up as a Muslim.
The article
After reading this article, I felt overwhelmed and shocked. My friend back in Vancouver high school did the same experiment too, but the results were much more positive and less discriminating.
I hope this helps keep your project going. May I ask what your main focus is?
