Brokeback Camel

The reaction for this should be good! From NewsMax:
Gay Muslim Film Could Spark Protests
A new documentary exploring the lives of gay Muslims could soon set off another round of violent protests in the Middle East.

The film’s producer, Sandi Dubowski, has promised to submit his movie to all the major film festivals of the Muslim and Western worlds. And even if it is rejected, he told Variety magazine, "We’ll find ways of screening it in every Muslim nation, even if it’s underground."

The film, titled "In the Name of Allah," will give viewers a glimpse of the Muslim world from a gay, lesbian, and transgender perspective.

Dubowski said it was important for understanding Islam. "The world right now needs to understand Islam," he told Variety, "and these are the most unlikely storytellers of Islam."
Heh. Considering that they (Islamists) punish homosexuals by stoning them to death but call it something else when it is a manifestation of power (thinking Yasser Arafat here), the cognitive disjunct from this film should be fun to see if no one gets hurt...
