Why can't we make epic movies on Islamic history?

[Jf Thunder]

Aurenzeb killed his brothers in cold blood for the throne, nothing to like no matter how pious he was. We romanticize our history when it was rife with nepotism and anarchy since the death of our beloved Prophet peace be upon him.

Open your eyes.

your opinion, thats why i always think that kings should only have one son, do you watch Mera Sultan? hell is gonna unfold there as Sulyman has so many sons

History is in out brain and heart. We don't need movies to pump ourselves.

I do not mind, brother, however, AQ and the TTP are armed insurgencies that have taken an extremist position. They are separate from the average joe who is a mental maniac. There are many individials in your nation that celebrate what happened in Gujrat against the Muslims yet would not take part in it. That's the majority representation of that mentalitiy.

Most researches agree that at most internationally the Al-Qa'eda stands at 15, 000 fighters with around about 30-40, 000 sympathisers. The TTP post-2009 is worse of with most likely 10-15, 000 active fighters. Now, take that percentage with the 1.3 or so billion Muslims present on this planet.

As for sympathisers, you must note, that these movements are an outlet or expression. They are not created in a vacuum. For example, the Chechnyans face a very real suppression and the nationalists there are not totally Islamists yet we see them mostly as so because with the help of the CIA and her allies during the Afghan war these organisations were trained to be self-sustainable. For the TTP alone the lowest estimates are at USD 200 million which is a projected 10% of the narcotics trade of the Pak-Afghan nexus.

Had your extremists had such autonomy and firepower you would see a similar result.

no offence brother but with muslims it goes a bit too far!
i mean there are fundamentalist even within the hindu but generally they are ignored or snubbed by the larger section of the hindu society , thus you won't see an al-qaeda or taliban version of hindus or christians ,

and when you say there are no terror attacks in kuwait or UAE it does not mean they do not support these terrorist , countries like UAE have just used their money and mussel power to keep al-qaeda out of their country , but its a proven fact that al-qaeda itself enjoys many sympathizers in countries like UAE and other arab countries , this is where they receive their majority of funds from.

Mera Sultan doesn't reflect the truth at all but still it was a problem at that time. Having more than one son and after then they are fighting each other for kingdom.

Christians make hundreds of thousands movies on Prophet Jesus (Pbuh). Hindus make movies on Ramayana, Mahabharata but when it comes to 'Islamic' movies we have only one true historical movie on Islam. 'The Message'. Why is there no one brave enough to make a huge epic film on Islam and Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)?

I know that we can't show anyone depicting Prophet but why is there ban on showing other religious characters? This kind of restriction is not good. I know there is a film coming up about Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in Iran by Majid Majidi but its a Shia production, the mainstream Sunnis don't even take attempts to make films on religious figures and Islamic glorious history. Why? Are we only capable of making fairy tales like Alif Laila (Arabian Nights) and call it Islamic epic saga? Ohh.. that series was also not made by us. Its made by a Hindu producer and director.

No matter, how "epic" the movie is made. We can never do justice to such personalities. Their impact on humankind, is substantial, whether we are aware of it or not. How deep their impact is. Only God knows in his complete knowledge.

I guess it would be better to get inspired by such personalities, instead of making movies about them. We can make fictional movies for our entertainment, to enjoy among ourselves.

It's just not necessary to make a movie to promote/show Islamic history
