A video review of "The Blastphemy", documentary screening at ISNA Film Festival Chicago, 2011. WATCH LATEST MOST POPULAR VIDEO ON INTERNET ABOUT KASHMIR FREEDOM MOVEMENT PRODUCED BY NEWSCRACKERS NETWORK , "WHO IS DR.FAI OF KASHMIR ? About: This video explains why Dr. Fai has become a "Soar irritant" to India and the enemies of Kashmir Freedom Movement. This speech is from Kashmir 's session at ISNA 48TH Chicago. Topic is, "Kashmir dispute": Post Obama's visit to India. I met and interviewed Dr.Syed Ghlulam Nabi Fai at this event for my documentary about Kashmir. I found, Dr. Fai as the most eloquent , powerful yet moderate voice of Kashmiris. His arrest by FBI on alleged charges have provoked humiliation and anger among all freedom and humanitarian loving people. Produced by Haris Sheikh NewsCrackers Network Canada Over 44,000 Tamils Civilians allegedly killed by Sri Lanka's Army in 2010. Tamil Tigers not only lost decades long struggle for Independent Elam Tamil but banned. Media ignored their plight of severe human rights violations by Sri Lanka. Recently, Channel 4 documentary "Sri Lanka - Killing Fields " prove a case to International Court for War crimes . NewsCrackers bring this story for UN led inquiry. Sheikh Yusuf Estes talks for the importance of "Alternative Media". About: Dr. Fai, Executive Director of Kashmir American Centre, Washington DC. tells the misery of Kashmiri people , freedom movement ,and crimes against humanity by half a million strong Indian occupied forces. Why fifteen million Kashmiris are dying for their fundamental right of freedom for last seven decades since the notorious Dogra Raj (even before the partition of British India in 1947) ? Kashmir is unfinished agenda of British India's partition and demands immediate justice. Millions of Kashmiris are displaced across India and Pakistan and in diaspora. Over seventy thousand dead, crimes as mass graves and rapes by Indian occupation forces are daily dark facts since 1990. India and Pakistan has fought four bloody wars over Kashmir. Since 1998, both nuclear powers, now conflict of Kashmir carries potential of real nuclear flash point in the world. Pakistan and India are among the top five buyers of costly foreign weapons. Hundreds of millions are in dirt poverty because of scarcity of resources. Ironically, decades long bloody conflict in Kashmir has drained the prospects of economic growth, sustainability and peace of whole South Asian region. People of Kashmir are wondering why United Nations is impotent to implement its own resolution on Kashmir conflict? Fortunately, now after a decade long militancy, Kashmiris have turned to non-violent movement since 2009. But still, hundreds of Kashmiris routinely killed and are victims of unprecedented weeklong curfews by million strong Indian occupying forces. Kashmiris are asking for "Azadi" freedom and end of Indian occupation in single voice. Now is the high time for United Nations, President Obama and all peace loving people not only acknowledge rights of freedom of 15 million (fifteen) Kashmiris, but also implement United Nations Security Council resolutions.

Sheikh, a Mississauga resident from Lahore, Pakistan, got involved in the conversation. Soon the three were discussing Danish newspaper cartoons published two years before, which portrayed the Muslim Prophet Muhammad as a terrorist.
“I said to them, ‘If someone close to you made fun of you to your face, you might laugh, but if someone made fun of your grandfather, who died long ago, would you laugh? Maybe not,’ ” said Sheikh. “The prophet has no son, no family to defend him, so as a Muslim I think it is my responsibility.” That conversation was the beginning of Blastphemy, a documentary Sheikh made on the reaction Muslims had to the controversial cartoons. He sold his DVDs publicly for the first time yesterday in the lobby of the Living Arts Centre, in the midst of a larger birthday celebration held for the Prophet Muhammad. “The movie shows what truth is about … see this movie and you see that Muslims are not terrorists, but peace-loving people,” said Mushtaq Khan, the president of the Ontario chapter of the Islamic Supreme Council of Canada, which sponsored the birthday celebration. “The Prophet Muhammad advocated peace we want to show the audience what this is all about.” Sheikh said part of his motivation for making Blastphemy was that even Muslims themselves were conflicted about Islam’s relationship to modern society. He said the Muslim perspective is under-represented in many places, including mainstream media. “When someone makes a film, we should make a film; when someone writes a book, we should write a book; we need to create a dialogue of how Muslims think,” said Sheikh. “There are 1.6 billion Muslims globally … I wanted to make a documentary for the people.” Sheikh started filming the documentary in 2007 when he returned to Pakistan to observe extremist discourse on the blaspheming of Prophet Muhammad. Over the next two years, he filmed religious, political and academic experts on Islam and his footage became the basis for Blastphemy. “The cartoons were just a trigger, and in fact there are many deeper issues behind it,” said Sheikh. Mississauga resident Rehan Siddiqui was one of the first people to buy the DVD and said he looked forward to watching the documentary. “I want to see what is inside … if I don’t know, I can’t adjust my reality,” said Siddiqui. “As Muslims, we have to be sure what our angle is.” Local TV review Haris Sheikh....Director/Producer
