Islam students at LUC

The movie My Name is Khan, like most Bollywood movies, the drama can be comical at times, but the meaning of the movie still comes across. One thing that Mozaffar asked us to think about was weather the people in the movie were good because of their religion or despite their religion. The message is [...]

After watching the movie “My Name is Khan” I thought that the movie presented a realistic portrayal of life in America for Muslims after the tragic day of 9/11. Several Muslims were wrongly accused of being associated with terrorism solely because of their religion which was illustrated by the airport scene when Rizwan was further searched by the [...]

I was not in class last week because I had a basketball game but I hear that we watched a movie from Bollywood.  I have never seen one of these movies but have heard that it is something that should be done.  I am interested to see the difference between these movies and American movies. [...]

In class we watched an Indian movie called My Name Is Khan. It was a very interesting movie because it brought in several hardships that the man character was facing. Not only was he a Muslim living in America, which he struggled with, but he also suffered from Asperger’s Syndrome. This added a twist to [...]

In the previous class, we watched the film My Name is Khan.  Being someone who has seen this movie previously, I initially did not really understand the whole point  behind watching it.  But, after reading the posts of my classmates, I realize that from the nonMuslim perspective, the message that the film is trying to [...]

Last class was an exciting one.  Not only did we get to go over the syllabus, that was completely original, we got to embark on an epic adventure with Khan.  In the movie, the audience gets to experience life through Khan’s (use the esophagus) eyes and some get to see what it would be like to [...]

Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the first class period because I significantly burned my hand.  However I heard and read that we watched a Bollywood type movie called My Name is Khan.  My Name is Khan I have read showed the effects of people’s views towards Muslims in America after 9/11and many thought it [...]

In class last week we watched the film My Name is Kkan, this movie depicts the struggles of an average Muslim man in post 9/11 America. His personal hardship is intensified as he struggles living with Asperger’s Syndrome. The film highlights the struggles all minorities face and depicts the bigotry that is still being enforced in mainstream society [...]

In last weeks class we began watching My Name is Kahn.  I have never seen the movie before, or any Bollywood movie, for that matter.  It turns out that I enjoyed the movie more than I expected.  While there were points at which I found myself laughing simply because of the overly dramatic nature of [...]

This past Thursday, we began watching My Name is Khan.  I have heard of Bollywood before, but never seen a movie.  The first few things I noticed were some of the controversies regarding Khan, and his hardships.  I never was prejudiced to Muslim people or anything of that nature after 9-11, but I never really [...]
