Were cinemas wrong to cancel this film after protests?

So one group are calling a film made by another group of the same religion blasphemous, you honestly couldn't make this up. There are no blasphemy laws in this country so if they don't like it they don't have to watch,

❤FATIMA ❤the lady of heaven

"The Streisand effect" in full flow here. No one would have known this movie even existed or even would have cared. Those who have forced it's cancellation have brought more publicity to it that it could even have dreamed of.

Sajid Javid says we don’t have blasphemy laws, yet a number of his peers are out of job for being anti-Semitic.

Islam has to lines : Sunni and Shiites, and this has been the case for 14 centuries. No line should have the right repress the other just because they don't agree with their version. It's absolutely wrong for cinema to cancel the film just because few extremist thugs protested. You want to impose your rules then go back and live in your original Islamic country. This is free country.

Now Cineworld rebranded to SunniWorld 😥

If you don't wanna see it, just don't

As they say the element of society you cannot criticise is the element in control

I don't live in islamic nation so should be able to see the movie why don't they move to islamic nation if they want islamic rules. But because their rules created a warzone they moved to the west, where they want to put in the same laws they needed to escape from. No logic

The thing about the Passion of the christ is that I don't think anyone was threatening to chop people's heads off if it was shown.

The amount of press on this movie I'd be surprised if Netflix or Amazon don't buy it...

England is finished!… period.

I just cancalled cineworld from my places to go list. I'm sick of this pathetic behaviour. Who the heck are they to dictate what is show in BRITISH Cinemas!!! There are laws to prevent intimidation that more than cover this. Where were our police farce ???

As a Christian I now want to see this movie.

not YOUR country

We are going to end up like Afghanistan in 20 to 30 years think about it 🤔

And that’s what The lady of heaven film directly speaks about, its these mobs who stood outside cineworld !

This is the UK, we don’t live in the Stone Age. Our society and culture is built on free speech and freedom of expression.

You can't have harmony and intolerance at the same time. Britain is the most tolerant country. We're the tolerant tolerating the intolerant.

I would like to see a film made about the Pakistani Grooming gangs, naming the men who have been convicted and further released back in the same community that they did these crimes in. See what reaction that would bring. An explicit film showing how these young girls an d children suffered at the hands of these monsters.

A film that talks about an important period in the history of Islam and shows facts that were obscured regarding the daughter of the Prophet Muhammad when she was subjected to injustice and persecution from a group of hypocrites at that time!

When they are minority they speak about fundamental of freedom once they turn into majority?????

They tried to ban Life of Brian! But many Christians found the humourous side of it. It was hilarious!

Fatima is the lady of heaven 😍❤️.

Seen the trailer, looks very interesting. I'd watch. It back fired. Passion of Christ was so beautiful.

Welcome to the UK 🇬🇧 freedom of speck is banned eventhough the government says it isn’t. You can’t say anything without someone being offended. It’s pathetic it’s getting out of hand.

Referendum on Immigration. We didn't vote for Mass Immigration.

Sooner or later one of these "protesters" would have blown himself up in the popcorn queue.

Can we have a petition to get the film shown regardless of anyone's feelings. Or will the more enlightened muslims have a protest demanding the freedom of that film to be shown !

What you have here of course is a dispute between Sunni and Shia Islam - the film is written from the perspective of the latter and many who subscribe the former aren't happy about the historical interpretation it takes. The life - and death - of Fatimah and that of her husband is one of the factors that caused the two branches to diverge in the first place.

James Max makes me laugh, censorship is not the way he said, yet he wanted to censor Kelly J, alias Posie Parker. He cancelled her on his show. Hypocrit!

Echoes of a religious minority's reaction to Monty Python's Life of Brian - the best film ever made about religion

I want to watch the film now more than before

Interesting to have two Jews on the panel but no Muslims

made me want to go and see it

You will probably watch the movie , and then think what was all the fuss about....

So like we 10years ago these people will never embrace the English culture,now it's a culture in this country over run by this sought of thing England will never recover from this

Just a reminder... there are zero laws on blasphemy in this country. So if you want laws on blasphemy, go elsewhere.

For goodness sake, stop calling Mohammed "the prophet" or even "a prophet". For non-muslims, he was just a naughty boy.

I wish Jesus Christ was defended this way 😔

Being forced to bow down to Religious Leaders can only be classed as Extremism and as we’ve seen is extremely Dangerous 👎👎

And Labour want Islamaphobic laws in the UK.Let that sink in?

I find it hard to condemn Cineworld, when you have so many aggressive people from the religion of peace protesting and looking at past incidents. Is it worth risking the lives of normal working people who work for Cineworld? I know this is an appalling state of affairs and it should not be like this but I guess this must be the benefit of living in a multicultural society as we are constantly told is a good thing

Masroor's version of harmony is everyone bowing to his view on what should be suppressed. I'm an atheist and I passionately believe that everyone's belief in any god is bollocks but I'm not going to menace people that want to portray their delusions on film.

Lady of Heaven, one of the best film I ever seen , its highlights the root of terror. Its shame cineworld to cancel the film .

Sharon this is a Christian country we shouldn’t be dictated by anyone.if they don’t like our way of life..the door swings both ways

If someone made a film glorifying Hitler and justifying Holocaust, will it be allowed?

Islam is not just a religion it is an Ideology, social, psychological, total way of life to reach a non proved place called heaven on Jannah. There was a quote that islam is a religion of peace but in the majority of occasions unlike Christianity no chapter and verse is quoted so this may be of interest taken from the standard islamic narrative:- (5:33 is what I'm referring to contect is everything according to scholars of islam :- 5:30 And his soul permitted to him the murder of his brother, so he killed him and became among the losers, and his soul permitted to him the murder of his brother, so he killed him and became among the losers. 5:31 Then Allah sent a crow searching in the ground to show him how to hide the disgrace of his brother. He said, "O woe to me! Have I failed to be like this crow and hide the body of my brother?" And he became of the regretful. 5:32 Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land - it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one - it is as if he had saved mankind entirely. And our messengers had certainly come to them with clear proofs. Then indeed many of them, [even] after that, throughout the land, were transgressors. The All important verse:- 5:33 Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment,

Well going by past events when certain muslims where offended like Manchester arena, Charlie hebdo, Fitna 2008 movie etc. people are right to be afraid for their lives. Armed security will be needed at cinemas that show it to protect the staff and customers.

Britain has freedom of speech and expression says Sajid Javid. Also Britain: imprisons Julian Assange for exposing Americas war crimes.

If free speech is so expressed when it’s against violation of Muslims then why is it restricted in certain cases. I.e current affairs in Ukraine and Russia or other things I.e racism

I stand by The Lady of Heaven!✊❤

If Muslims want to create unity, why do they live in divided areas ? Area's strictly for Muslim only and where Sharia Law is the only law, and why do they need their own financial institutions too ? It doesnt sound very integration orientated and united to me.

RELIGION OF PEACE?? WHOS HE KIDDING????

It's not a Muslim problem It's a sunni Muslim problem what want this movie ban

THIS IS GREAT BRITAIN 🇬🇧 WE DO NOT HAVE BLASPHEMY LAWS ! End of

If those who follow Islam make a decision (for reasons rarely if ever stated) to reside in an historically Christian, now largely secular and open-minded UK society, then they should be prepared to accept the laws and customs of that exist in their chosen destination and understand that any religion is a personal choice and not to be imposed on others, least of all the wider population of the "host" nation.

When is the bluray or 4k discs coming out? love to see it high def

Sorry Sharon, but I don't remember angry mobs wanting to burn down cinemas that showed Bertolucci's 'Little Buddha' with Keanu Reeves in 1994, so I don't go along with the statement that any religiously themed movie is going to cause controversy and incite violence.

The threats of violence and self preservation are more likely the reason the Cinema pulled the plug. One problem with mono theistic religions is that the followers divide into different sects and groups, each claiming only they are the 'true' one. What can possibly go wrong?

Is this not a sectarian matter between Sunnis and Shias, with the film representing a perspective from the latter? Unfortunately, the religious group represented has such a worldwide reputation for violence against "blasphemy" that those they protest toward feel their lives and/or property are under threat.

This is only being canceled because it’s a Shia film and the Sunnis are mad that we are spreading the truth

Hopefully it will be streamed soon😎

Send them all for a long swim without life jackets.

The journalist talking about how the film makers only had to pre-emptively engage with Muslims to avoid issues is really being naive - the sharia is very clear and no individual Muslim or Muslim organisation that went against the hadith would only have succeeded in anything other than being cast aside as deviants. I come from a Muslim background and there was simply no avoiding the backlash. The only way this dies down - like the cartoons - is through repetition until it becomes normalised and they are reluctantly forced to come terms with the reality that they can't control what anyone else does.

Are films cancelled about God , Jesus and the Christian faith, no they are not, and I can't remember a time any other film was cancelled due to religious beliefs. I blame the cinemas for not having the guts to stand upto these protesters and say, look if you don't like it, don't watch it. This is Britain, if you don't like our ways and our values, please feel free to leave.

No cancellations because of Islam, Judaism, Christianity, feminism, homosexualism, so-called 'transgenderism' or any other ism.

The claim at 1:45 that there are hadiths which say you cannot depict the prophet is incorrect. There are no hadiths which state that in both sunni and shia hadith corpus.

They were killing anybody talking about that story for 1400 years. Now this movie is showing the reality of Islam the reality of these terrorists that came after the prophet Mohammed death killed his daughter, her husband and killed her both sons and her grandkids a whole . They killed anyone related to our holly lady of Heaven Fatema because she was the face of the real Islam the religion of peace and what you see now a day are the grandsons and the granddaughters of these terrorists. This is the best movie and should be nominated for an Oscar. Lady of Heaven is the real Islam her husband and her sons are the true holders of the peaceful messages of Islam the real Islam of prophet Mohammed. Islam is never a religion of terrorists. These ppl are the terrorists.

I've managed to get an illegal copy of this film! So I'll watch it and copy it to pass along! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Mohammed is not 'the' prophet to the majority of people in the world, he is just 'a' prophet. Granted he is 'the' prophet for those who follow Islam, but that does not mean the rest of us have to refer to him as that. You don't ever hear non Christians refer to Jesus as 'our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ' and quite right, why should they?

The Lady of Heaven is based on the facts of history .If people can not bear to hear the truth, it is better to see a psychologist

Sorry but would cinemas be allowed to show a movie that depicts Hitler and the Nazis as the good guys and the holocaust victims as evil sinister victims? Would a movie be aired if it shows homosexuals as diseased or sinful individuals? Would a movie be aired if it depicts the Queen as a wh*ore?

i hope now britishers realise who is the bully... kashmir files is another film that everyone should watch!! what a shame, britishers get their daughters groomed and still bow down.

The narrative you put forward here around freedom of speech is incorrect. This isn’t an issue about freedom of speech at all. It’s around labelling 2 billion people in the world as terrorists based on their beliefs and holy figures. That’s Islamophobic and this film promotes further islamophobia. The correct narrative/question is, should people be allowed to be Islamophobic in the UK? I know there will be many trolls here, so if you feel the answer is yes then by default you also think it’s okay to be homophobic, racist, anti semitic, etc. If that’s the case and you still think yes, then go to a country where all of the above can be practised, i.e. you can openly be homophobic, racist, anti semitic, etc without consequence or challenge.

شكرا شكرا شيخ ياسر الحبيب على إظهار هذه الحقائق التاريخيه التي لم يجراء احد على إظهارها للعالم خوفا من اتباع القتله ابو بكر وعمر وعائشه شكرا شيخ ياسر

The playing field isn't leveled. No such thing as free speech. Had a movie, comedian, or show be made about the LGBTQ community and expose some if not all of the harmful psychological effects that the movement brings along with it, clearly it too would be cancelled, protested, sanctioned, or better yet the producers sentenced to life and stopped of their jobs. So let's not use the word "freedom" of speech. Plus can't compare Christianity to Islam. Just because the Christians have not problem with movies being made about Jesus, doesn't mean all religions must follow suit. Peace

I think it’s not about the film itself but rather the current political climate, Shia and Sunni are at literal war and this makes the matters worst.. it’s not a smart move

How is it so many Muslims can suddenly pitch up at the venues. Do any of thhem work or are they all living off my taxes. Looking around my home town, during working hours, I know the answer. This country has made a very big error of judgement.

I didn't know about this but now I want to see this.

If the film was offensive to the lgbtq community the whole case would have been treated differently because you guys have double standards in everything

So what does homophobic mean and antisemitism? I thought we have freedom of speech???

For the people who say the free of speech. I say to them go and make a movie about the holo... and tell me if there is free of speech. Only christians and muslim you can critisize them the J... you can't. Double standards

i'm with Sajid...mob rule is always bad

If there is freedom of speech where was the police at these cinemas , correct they were hiding scared to offend.

Shouldn't ban it in the UK. Ban this and its a downward spiral.

The ‘Passion of Christ’ showed Jesus in ‘favourable’ image where ‘Lady of Heaven’ will 💯 % shows a negative image. That is the whole point! Why 1 rule of One & different rule of other.

It’s a load of rubbish, don’t bother.

The movie is not racist, this is the truth

You got no idea what you talking about. The film was made intentionally as a provocation. They had no idea to promote anything except a sectarian provocation by their own mouths

Cancel culture is toxic when Muslims are initiating it and Its freedom of speech when it comes to insulting Muslims but homophobia, antisemetisim and racism are all red lines no one can cross. All Muslims want is the same respect you show and care for with other “marginalised” groups

I am with The Lady of Heaven!✊❤

We don't need a religion like that!

Freedom of speech says Sajid javid so I can say what I want about the Holocaust or support Russia without me being imprisoned for antisemitism or put in jail. Double standards

The people protesting are Muslims so they believe that Mo flew to heaven on a winged donkey and spoke to Moses and god so there’s absolutely no point trying to reason with them.

Congratulations to UK for becoming a halal state.😂😂😂 Peaceful community has just started to spread the peace.😂

This film is not like normal films or other, this film shows the truth of islamic world, shows how even that if some ppl call themselves (muslims), but they are not, shows the truth that sunni muslims can’t accept, this film is 100% true, as someone living in iraq, this things did actually happened to us, in 2014…, terr*rist used to force shia ppl to be sunni, or otherwise they will unlive you, and the story of lady fatimah is also 100%, it’s wrote in both sunni and shia books, there are a lot of those who try to hide the truth and they did sadly, they lie to ppl and change the story, this film shouldn’t be cancelled, this is the truth that everyone should see and know🤍

Where can i see this film? On blu ray??

The life of brian is not now accepted as great, it is a horror still but if it had to be shown in the name of freedom then so does this film Lady of Heaven,
