'Khuda Kay Liye - In the name of God' The film is about the difficult
situation in which Pakistanis in particular and the Muslims in general are
caught up since 9/11. There is a war going on between the fundamentalists and
the liberal Muslims. The situation is creating a drift not only between the
Western world and the Muslims but also within the Muslim community. The educated
and modern Muslims are in a difficult situation because of their approach
towards life and their Western attire. They are criticised and harassed by the
fundamentalists, and on the other hand the Western world sees them as potential
suspects of terrorism just because of their Muslim names. This paradox is
resulting in great suffering for a forward looking Muslim. This is the theme of
the film Khuda Kay Liye. The interesting thing about the film is how it connects
the happenings in the three continents. The film is based on some very serious
issues, raising a lot of controversial questions engaging the muslim minds these
days. |
