Does gay themed movies released in islamic countries?

[Marco Sensual]

Islam is clearly the most homophobic religion of all.They just hates gay men.A lot.More than anything else.Gay men are basically considered the worst.Islamics also says that gay men doesnt exist in islamic countries.So,they implies that every middle eastern men and west asian men are all straight.They also claims that homosexuality is a western invention.So,homosexuality comes from europe,then went to america and everywhere else.Right? Well...

If islamics denies homosexuality so much,then what about gay themed movies?

Was Brokeback Mountain ever released in Saudi Arabia,Iran,Iraq,Pakistan,Syria,ect... ?

If so,does the gay theme movies released with the gays sex scenes?

Brokeback Mountain was a hit at the box office in several western countries.Was Brokeback Mountain a hit in Saudi Arabia,Iran,Syria,Pakistan and all other islamic countries?

Are islamics allowed to ban movies just because of the gay contents?

The "moderate" leader of Iran just visited the Pope and Vatican and they had to cover all the naked art work and statues with sheets as to not offend the leader---so I seriously doubt they are going to show any gay themed movies in these crazy sick countries.

Homophobia is a reaction to western culture and influence, more so in the last 150 years when the west effectively destroyed the Turk Ottoman caliphate, which knocked their religious pride.

It always astounds me when someone comes to the board with a question that they could research themselves online.

Why the fuck would anyone here know the answer to the question without having to to do the work of looking up answers.

Jesus.

Wept.

Since the OP is apparently incapable of Googling:

In the Middle East, distribution of the film became a political issue. Homosexuality is legally a serious crime in most Islamic nations and is a taboo subject even in the few nations where it is legal. Israel was the only country in the Middle East to show the uncensored version of the film.[citation needed] Lebanon was the only Arab country to show the film, and it released a censored format. The film was also released in Turkey.[50] The film was officially banned from screenings in the United Arab Emirates; however, the DVD of the film was permitted to be rented from stores such as Blockbuster Video.[51][52]

Since there are no movie theatres in Saudi Arabia...it wasn't shown there either.

By the way, It was also not shown in Utah.

And by the way:

On December 8, 2008, the Italian state-owned television channel Rai Due aired a censored version of the film, removing all the scenes with homoerotic references. Viewers protested, saying the deletions made the plot impossible to follow. The Arcigay organisation protested the deletions as homophobic censorship.[53] The state-owned television network RAI said the Italian film distributor had mistakenly censored the film. RAI showed an uncensored version of the film on March 17, 2009.[54]

I heard if anytime during the film the characters commit suicide or get murdered etc., or converts to being straight etc., it can be shown. Otherwise no, nothing LGBT related or themed can be shown in many homophobic nations in which imprisonment or death can be brought to homosexuals.

It must be horrible being gay in islamic countries.Islam is really fucked up.As long islam will exist,homophobia will stay.

Islamics should get gid of islam.They should have another religion.Christian religion is not perfect.But,its better than islam.Gay theme movies is what islamic country needs.But,these countries are so heteronormative that it makes it impossible for anything lgbt being progressive.Its just shows how much they hates gay men.Everything in these countries is retrograde and backwards.Gay men in these countries are pretty much doomed.Unless they go in western countries.

So this thread wasn't about homo movies at all.

That's blatant bullshit. Islam itself is homophobic. The Quran states that homosexuality is a sin and the reason the people of Lut were all killed. The Hadith states that if you see anyone doing as the people of Lut to kill the top and the bottom. Islam has been killing gays ever since Mohammad was around.

I just get sick and tired of regressive leftists who blame all of the Islamic nation's problems on "Western Imperialism." Meanwhile Islam itself was being imperialist and racist towards countless people. Speaking of Taralen's comment that is pretty true. This also describe Arab Islamic nation's treating of Black people. Black people are very much hated in Arab Islamic countries although Black women are fetishized. Usually in movies they are portrayed as nymphomaniac Jezebels or fat maids and in the Jezebel's case the Arab Muslim man always leaves for a pious Islamic woman and the Black woman usually has something terrible happen to her. I mean these people call Black people abeed or literally slave/nigger openly in their media without shame and I know this from my friend Sudanese Feminist author Kola Boof. So Islamic nations are problematic as fuck. I also get sick of regressive left gays blaming Islam's homophobia on the West. Clearly they have never read the Quran or Hadith nor studied the Islamic history of murdering gays.
