What is really the risk to be a Muslim?
If you are Muslim, you will be judged by the people without hesitation, without fair judgment and without self-realization. You will not know why people have these very atrocious ideas about you being a Muslim or worshiping Allah and you’ll try to ask yourself, what have I done wrong? Is it wrong to be a Muslim? It is wrong to believe Allah? The answer is NO! and that’s what My name is Khan is trying to inculcate into the minds of all people existing on earth that there’s nothing wrong to be a Muslim.
I could really say that this is one of the best movies I've watched. It’s not a typical movie that you watch in a cinema during Friday nights, it is not a movie that you’ll criticize because of its poor direction and it’s not a type of movie that you’ll hate because you just waste your time watching of an implausible movie but its undeniably not, because it is exemplary, it is effective and it is self- awakening movie.
One thing that I could really not forget is what Khan’s mother taught to him, that there are just two kinds of people on earth; the GOOD and the BAD, the Good People are doing good deeds and the Bad People are doing Bad things. It reminds me that no matter what you are rich, poor, beautiful, ugly, fat, thin, black or white, you are good if you do good and it’s not how you look but it is how you act, how you think for other people and what does your heart really say. It is also trying to revive our trust that Good always triumph no matter how strong the evil forces are.
My name is Khan and I’m not a terrorist, it’s pretty weird when you hear it but if you’ll try to unfold the reason behind, you’ll be amazed of what does khan trying to say and what does he want for people to believe. He is autistic, he is a Muslim and he is a good person and being a Muslim doesn't mean being a terrorist. It reminds me somehow of what is my perspective towards Muslims and I realized, I was wrong, wrong for thinking that they are all the same, that they are nothing but selfish, arrogant, immoral people and this movie opened my blinded eyes that religion is just the guide to people but the person’s personality does truly matter.
This movie really changed my outlook in life, opened my eyes to unrecognized discrimination, inspired me to be a better person and most importantly, evoked my emotions and thought given the almost universality in its approach and message. Lastly, I’l say Kudos to this movie and it may inspire a lot of people especially to the Muslims who feel that they are not destined to be a Muslim because it is wrong to be one, they may be realized that they should be proud of what they are and continue to be a good and productive person on earth.
