[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since you are calling it a MUSLIM tale and talking about MUSLIMS worldwide - are you forgetting that India has a larger Muslim population than any Arab country??[/quote]

Yeah but many Arabs, especially Gulf Arabs, look down on other Muslim people as being inferior Muslim people, and not the preferred chosen ones, like them. There's a tremendous amount of racism and bigotry in Middle Eastern countries towards Muslim immigrants and migrants from elsewhere, but especially the Indian subcontinent. [/quote]

Wow. That's such bullshit. I'm glad Aziz eats bacon. [/quote]

Aziz Ansari is an atheist, not Muslim. I mean I guess one might always be connected culturally, but he doesn't consider himself Muslim. [/quote]

So Muslims want a practicing Muslim from the Middle East to play Aladdin? Nothing else is good enough? [/quote]

This is getting more and more ludicrous.  What about casting an American to play a Brit (or vice-versa)?  Is that ok if they're the same race?  What about using a Chinese actor to portray someone Japanese (or vice-versa)?  Unacceptable?  How about having Yul Brynner - a Russian man - play the King of Siam?  Who cares????[/quote]
