TORONTO - A controversial film about the Prophet Mohammad that has sparked deadly protests in the Middle East is being screened in Toronto later this month by a Hindu group.

A venue for about 200 film buffs is being sought and heavy security, including metal detectors, will be used to check filmgoers attending the movie that has sparked protests in Egypt, Yemen and Libya, where the U.S. Embassy in Benghazi was stormed and the ambassador and three other Americans killed.

“A lot of people want to see this film,” said Ron Banerjee, of the Canadian Hindu Advocacy. “It will be a private showing and filmgoers will be frisked and have to go through a metal detector.”

Banerjee said organizers of TIFF have refused to show the film, which that depicts Muhammad as a womanizer and a madman.

He said venues in Toronto are reluctant to allow the film to be shown on their premises fearing a backlash by radical Muslims.

“We are looking at showing the film at a Hindu temple,” Banerjee said on Friday. “Hindus are furious that people are being killed over this film.”

Banerjee said copies of the film have been withdrawn from circulation but are “available privately.”

Parts of the film are still available on the Internet.

He said viewers will have to book a seat to see the film and undergo searches.

Snippets from other movies that are offensive to Christians and Hindus will also be shown, Banerjee said.

“In Canada, we have tolerance and diversity and they (Muslims) are simply going to have to tolerate diverse viewpoints and opinions without rioting,” he said, adding that he is not concerned about a backlash.

On Friday his group will stage an event in which dog owners can walk their canines outside the Salahuddin Mosque, in Scarborough, during prayer sessions.

Their event is in response to an incident in August that took place during an anti-Israel demonstration at Queen’s Park by an Islamic group. A Jewish man was arrested for his involvement in an altercation where he was shoved and his dog was kicked.

Some devout Muslims believe dogs to be unclean and avoid the animals.

Pakistan vs India in Canada

This is funny! Dem bais like start trouble and when the fullahs start bussing they rass, they claim terrorism

 

No Hindu Temple should allow this nutball to show the film.

Chief must be loving this...

these can't be Guyanese Hindus

The Muslims will settle him and maybe his entire family before the film is shown.

maybe this fool that want to show this flim is Coba family

Guyanese Hindus are to scared to participate in anything like this. They want to live to attend Mandir on Sunday.

the guyanese hindus in toronto just donot care a shit about the people in the middle east they run from stupidity in guyana so let them go to their temple

Guyanese Muslims do care what's happening in the middle east. Chief, for sure is having a field day with the up rising.

You need to walk some dogs and a few pigs down Liberty ave in front of his masjid. The Fullahs will come out and embrace you

Guyanese came a long way from the strive between Muslims and Hindus that exist in India.

That we must take credit for for up to this day we respect each other for what we believe in. Back in the days when I was member of the Lions Club  out of respect for each other when there was dinner or any other event , we never had beef nor pork on the menu. Small steps that go a far way.

 

Cobrayou are not qualified   to   speak for  my  hindu brothers and sisters  for you are a Chammar!!

Bannerji is no spokeperson for Hindus anywhere. I checked with 5 most popular Hindu temples that I frequent and non would support him.

But some pandit or Hindu group will even though the majority will show respect by restraint. Should these Hindus be slaughtered in the streets on account of the idiot few? That is the point those rationalizing this violence misses.

You see this is where you and I disagree. Will Hindus showing this offensive film bring about peace or will it create conflict?

Try showing a film that the Holocast did not take place in a Catholic Church or in  a Mosque, tell me what will happen.

 

Once people are offended they will protest , should that protest be violent, the answer is definitely no!!!

I personally do not care if they chose to view it or not. That is their option. I would defend their right, as odious as it stands, to view the film.

 

I see many anti Israel militia in the US. Go to the south. I even went to a protest on the mall where neo Nazi, skinheads and KKK chose to gather. Indeed there were potential for violence but the US law allowed it. The responsibility is on the individual or group  saying they are for peace to practice what they preach.

This film should be banned NOW from all countries!!

Dem hindusty want a new mandir. They so crookish they want somebody to pay for it. They trying to rev up the Canadian muslims to do something so they can say somebody destroyed their mandir and beg fuh money. what low caste hindus.

Go easy there Bruds, do not take a broad brush and paint.

 

 Banerjee just want some attention and he does not speak for all our Hindu brothers and sisters.

iS oSAMA YOUR bROTHER????

Correct!

Bannerjee and dem guys want to incite something then they gan cry.

Bhai Mitwah, ah which Mathya you does go to.

I know ambassador stephens because we were neighbors. We were not friends and I do not ever remember speaking to him but because I know his face, saw him alive walking in my 'hood I feel I should know why some ******* need to murder him on account of a movie. I thought I would not care to see the movie but I am beginning to think I need to see for myself what the fuss is about. As a matter of fact I am going to look at the trailer right now.

tried to look at it but it does not make sense. Will have to suffer through it in parts.

 

Wished those fanatics protesting saw it. They would have been bored shitless and go home and sleep.
