The Film Village has gone down the drain for good, having been smothered by the forceful outcry of the masses on the social media and well-evidenced verdict of the Islamic scholars from the lofty pulpits of the Masaajeeds.
However, there is conflicting opinion from the West-programmed souls who cite economic benefits of the project and believe it is the beauty of modernity. However, modernity is not stuff to be swallowed whole, there are fragments to throw away in the same way you throw hard bones away when you eat meat. So, I am also of the opinion that if economy is your religion, then you are free to hold such view and likewise if Islam is your religion then you must be ready to submit to the dictates of Islam. They point to the obvious fact that many anti-Film village ''rhetorics'' are aired by people who are actually addicted to movies. This they label as utmost ''hypocrisy''. Well, that is pure speculation because there no data to prove such an accusation. Let's assume for assume for a moment that we (the anti-Film Village ''hypocrites'') are patronizing such movies behind the scene, is it right for a sick person to consume something that makes our sickness worse? I think Abubakar Abdulsalam should answer this question. His write-up on the issue is neatly-woven textually but semantically abhorrent especially at the point where the writer clearly attribute insanity to anyone who share not his view, asserting that people like me should ''consult psychiatrist''. Nobody is claiming to be a saint just because he expresses displeasure over Film Village project. Some pro-Film Village rhetoricians have gone too far as to describe the action of the Islamic scholars in so harsh a word. Listen to Jaafar Jaafar when he said: ''They switched on their microphones, mounted the pulpit and started ranting.'' Labeling a Khutbah which was woven with golden strings of the Glorious Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet as ''ranting'' is objectionable.
Opinion is a matter of perspective but I am amazed whenever an issue is viewed from wrong perspective. Political analysts like my friend Nuruddeen Shuaib Copa should be making objective analysis not such narrow thinking as to equate Film Village to internet.
