  • muslims dont drink wine... they dont drink atall

  • This is disgusting Jewish propaganda against Muslims! Shame on them for their hatred against Muslims and Islam.

    .

    Muslim women are for ONLY Muslim men, as stated in the Quran. A Muslim is not a Muslim until he/she believes 100% in the Quran!

    .

    Shame on this Jewish disgusting propaganda!

  • In this world, moslem are free to drink, to fuck, to wear anything they want. It is not our right to tell them what to do. It is their choice and all people will responsible for their own choice in afterlife before God. Our job is only to convey the messege.

  • I think she is actually a nice looking Persian who is just acting like Kurdish ??

  • Yes. However, at a higher level, Layla represents the graceful and feminine but oppressed women of the Middle East and parts of Asia. In the ending credits on screen it says: "For the LAYLAs of the World." Indeed the vast majority, especially women, of the Middle East, including Iranians, Arabs, Kurds, Palestinians, Jews, Turks, Armenians, Greeks...all appreciate and love the many layers of this film, especially women's equal rights

  • @DavidandLayla I am a Turkish and I hated that film. This does not represent Turkish women. Turkish women never lay down under the penis of a non-muslim men to get visa card.Turkish women never prefers a men that is not racially Turkish and religionly non-muslim. Turkish people never chenge their religion for a foreigner. that is called as "having no humour, character, honour" and we hate people who do not have honour, we do not accept them yo our families.

  • Right.

  • Movie just won Audience Award in Rabat, capital of Morocco against top films from all Arab, Muslim & World cinema. Award was based on public votes, 99% of whom were Muslims. It was presented to the director by Minsister of Culture- an unscarfed Muslim woman - in front of 5000 applauding Muslim men & women at Mohammed V Grand Theater. Millions of good Muslim women in their homelands & in Diaspora don't & wont obey al-Qadeda or Taliban or Wahabi fundamentalist's Hijabed woman un-natural codes.

  • @DavidandLayla ... Excuse me. Shame on you. The hijab is an integral part of Islam.

    .

    One accepts Islam from the heart.

    .

    I am not a Wahabi, but this is disgusting. A Muslim woman is ONLY allowed to marry a Muslim man. This is in the Quran (The fundamental book of the Muslims and Islam)! A Muslim is NOT allowed to drink wine, this is in the Quran.

    .

    A Muslim is a Muslim from the heart. You can get a bunch of hypocrites in a room, but this doesn't change reality.

  • i am a Muslim and i drink and wear clothes like her - who are you to judge who is or isnt a Muslim!

  • indeed the west is the home of millions of refugees , but dont forget that most of the refugees are refugees because of the wars that the west started and the lands that they invaded or helpped in invadind such as america helping the jews against the muslim and christian palestinians the jews even have nukes , and the U.N is protecting them .

  • the arabs now indeed use indian numbers but the west uses arabic numbers invinted in alandalus (spain) so 1234567890 are arabic numbers and the zero (sifr) in arabic was first invented by the arab muslims in alandalus as well that was the center of knowlege to all europe when it was in the dark ages

  • what is muslim about this woman apart from her blimming name?

  • i so agree!

  • 'Arabic' numerals were actually first invented in India & the Arabs got them from India. The West got them from the Arabs, so now they are 'Arabic' numerals.

  • In any case, after all is said, the effort is nevertheless appreciated.

    It is evident that this film is at least providing a platform for dialogue- as this scene clearly proves.

    I really would like to see this film and can't wait till it is here in Australia- insha'Allah.

  • For once, it would be nice to see a practicing Muslim woman also be on screen and by that I do no mean the burkha clad variety for in reality they too live in the West both with the best of both worlds- why can't we celebrate that.

  • My only quip with this whole situation is if the Western world is going to make a film about Muslim- Muslim women- why does she necessarily have to casual about religion.

  • btw, are they drinking alcohol?

  • No, Alcohol's for cars! They're enjoying wine like most civilized world. Ancient cultures of Mid E. frm Egypt to Iran celebrated Life w. wine. Muslim poets Khayaam & Rumi celebrated wine for Love & Spiritual reasons. Are not Moses & Jesus God's original prophets (Before Muhammad declared to be same God's final prophet)? Christians, Jews, Buddhists...enjoy wine as God's gift. Only a tiny fraction becomes immoral alcoholics. Rest- moral folks who create IT & almost everything we use. Love & Peace.

  • ok, i'm not sure what you just said, but wine is alcohol. Alcohol is not allowed in Islam, so why is she drinking it?

  • Because,deny it or not, millions & millions of good, peaceful Muslims in the past and now drink wine and beer (some even heavy alcohol!) whether openly (in free West) or secretly (in Islamic countries.) Google internet: some prominent Muslim scholars argue wine is not forbidden by Islam. In any case, non-Arab nations like Iranians with their pre-Islam liberal religions & more advanced cultures drank wine, and women & men danced hand-in-hand and still do without being immoral or ungodly!

  • Look, it is not allowed, whether you like it or not. I know that some people still do it now, but that doesn't make it right

  • I guess she is the 'moderate' Muslim (the likes of Irshad Manji perhaps?), that drinks etc....

    A practicing Muslim does not drink- scholars might differ on it but the two major schools of thought are unanimous in it's prohibition.

  • Thx Nazneen. Plse re-post your Comment abt Layla's 'moderate' scarf at the Trailer video-regret it got deleted. No one can pretend to speak for millions of Muslims living in diverse styles in vast Islamic World & in Diaspora. Shi'ites, Sunnies, Wahabis, Talibans, Alawis, Yarsans different practices,and the liberal practices of many Turks, Kurds, Iranians...So let individuals remain humble and express their individual views in civilized manner without anger or superior attitude. Let Allah decide.

  • how can any scholar say it's okay to drink when the Qur'an clearly states: "They ask you regarding wine and gambling. Say, in both of them is major sin, and there is some benefit for men, but the sin of them is far greater than benefit" [alBaqarah 2:219]

  • The answer is they cant read.

  • They ask you about intoxicants and games of chance. Say: In both of them there is a great sin and means of profit for men, and their sin is greater than their profit. And they ask you as to what they should spend. Say: What you can spare. Thus does Allah make clear to you the communications, that you may ponder. (FRom the Quran 2:219)

  • Could an objective expert honestly list the parts of The Holy Quran & The Sharia re women's status & rights without fear without 'defensive' rationalizations? How about a list of women & children whipped, amputated, executed or stoned to death in Iran, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia by Muslim officials applying the codes of The Quran or The Sharia? Google the barbaric crimes committed against women & children. This "Love & Peace' film is dedicated to the Oppressed Women of the World.

  • Objective is not the point, the point is you are portraying a 'Muslim' woman- thereby asserting that she by being Muslim should at least adhere or revere the the Holy Quran and the basic tenets of Islam. That was the only point I was trying to make.

  • plz do not mix up the (perfect) religion of Islam with the actions those who claim to follow it ie Muslims.

    And to nazneenreehman, i totally get where ur coming from, but i think that Muslims need to face the horrible truth that our sons/daughters are not always out doing what we think they are and that the west really is corrupting the Muslims. It's a harsh reality to face, and I'm just coming to terms with it...

  • true brother...

  • Wow, talk about spin.

  • western hypocrisy is amazing lol

  • World hypocrisy is even more amazing. Al-Jazeera for instance: it is owned by Al-Qatar's ruler where Bush's war on Iraq is headquartered. Sadly, our precious world is full of multiple-standard leaders some of them are even evil. The Russian leader, Putin, for example. So let's not only criticize the West, the home of millions of refugees who with their children become free human beings and successful in the arts and in businesses.

  • Great movie, great actors.

  • just awesome....
