. All in the name of “art” ? ManKind Show
Solidarity – Demo May 9th “ManKind”
joined with other organisations to protest outside British Board of Film
Classification against a film that denigrates men. The French film
“BAISE-MOI” (‘Rape Me’) has been given a certificate by the British Board of
Film Classification. In a Daily Mail
article journalist Chris Tookey wonders why the BBFC have opened the flood
gates to pornogtrahy. He says the film is described as portraying sex, rape,
violence and sexual depravity, which he claims are “now all part of the
British liberal feminists agenda”. The film depicts two female ‘nihilists’
search for sexual pleasure. They pick up an innocent man and anally rape him
using a handgun. He is then executed by one of the girls with the gun still
in his rectum. His executioners derive some kind of orgasmic thrill as they
watch him die. Not only were Media watch
outraged but so too were church leades.r At the Demonstration in Soho Square,
was the leader of “Mediawatch” and the spokesman on medical and ethical
issues for “Islamic Concern”, Dr A Majid Katme. ISLAMIC CONCERN Caring for Islamic values and the Muslims in Britain Advisers 9/May/02 Education: Mr I Hewitt Law: Mr M A1 Rashid Health: Dr M Butt Women: Sarah Joseph Youth: Mr Z Parvez Islam: Dr S Hasan Environment: Mr F Khalid Media: Mr M Faruqi BAN
THE FILM:"BAISE-MOI” …… AS
IT HAS BEEN BANNED IN 23 COUNTRIES.. This French
film is explicity OFFENSIVE to all public taste... It is full of immoral pervert
sex,VIOLENCE, RAPE,SEXUAL
DEPRAVITY.,, No doubt it will have a
bad influence especially on our children / our youth. Psychological
studies,social studies,health studies and criminal studies:have shown clearly
the LINK to many violent and sexual films and the rape,sexual violence,and
the sexual crimes in our society today, especially in the United States. It was very IRRESPONSIBLE
for the British Board of Film Classification to give this highly dangerous
and immoral film:UK Release ( as 18 film) from 2002. On behalf of the two
million British Muslims, WE APPEAL strongly to the British Board of Film
Classification TO BAN THIS FILM COMPLETELY, as it was banned in France and 22
other countries. [ this last statement is not factually true
