I am a Muslim who might be offended by the content of the film 'Bruce Almighty'. However, I don't support calls to ban the movie as non-Muslims do have the rights to enjoy making fun of their gods.

This is not so for Muslims who honour their vows as Muslims and believe in the sanctity of their creator. I believe the fair action for Muslims and non-Muslims is for the Muslim religious authorities to declare their fatwa on those who see the film and those who are involved in its distribution as a warning to Muslims about the legality of their action.

The same analogy can be made with alcohol consumption. Non-Muslims in this country do have the rights to enjoy alcohol as well as making fun of their gods. This issue reminds me of the controversy on the rights of the non-Muslims to refer to their god as Allah in their bible. Just imagine the furore it will cause if the film producer refer to their god as Allah.
