Shah rukh khan

Bhopal The Bandra police has filed a case against Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan for allegedly making comments about Prophet Mohammad but the actor said it is a writing error and not a thought or view that he believes in.

"We have registered an FIR against Shah Rukh Khan after we received an application from an advocate who alleged that the actor made some statements hurting the sentiments of Muslims," said senior police inspector of Bandra police station, Prakash George.

The complaint was registered against Shah Rukh and the publisher of the magazine in which the purported remarks were published.

Complainant Khalid Babu Querishi alleged that in the July issue of the ‘Time and Style’ magazine, Shah Rukh had used objectionable language against the Prophet which is unacceptable," George said.

The case was registered under section 295-a (deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious sentiments) and 34 (acts done by several persons with common interest) of IPC.

In a message, the actor who is currently abroad shooting for Karan Johar's "My Name is Khan", said that there is no more important figure in history than Prophet Mohammad. "Being a Muslim and standing up for the tenets of Islam is my most important agenda," he said.

The actor's response came a day after a First Information Report (FIR) was registered against him.

Referring to protests on the issue, Shah Rukh said, "If they have seen my interviews about Islam and the Prophet, they should know that it is a writing error and not a thought or view I believe in."

He said, "for all practical purposes... Prophet Mohammad is the most important positive figure in Islam". Khan's statement will be recorded on his return from the US.

SRK effigy beaten with shoes

A large number of protesters put a garland of shoes round an effigy of film star, Shah Rukh Khan here to protest against his alleged "derogatory" remarks against Prophet Mohammed.

The protestors, gathered at Jehangirabad square after Friday prayers, beat up Shah Rukh's effigy with footwear to vent their anger with film star.

Later, they dispersed peacefully at the end of the protest which lasted about 30 minutes.

Shah Rukh in an interview to a magazine compared Prophet Mohammed with Adolf Hitler and Winston Churchill.

Religion and its prophets don't always deserve the respect they command by Jas on 18 Aug 2009

I really don't know what SRK said about Islam and prophet. The fact that so many absolute idots/believers are so outraged, shows me he must have said something very sensible. More people should have wisdom and courage to criticize religion and its prophets/gods.

he should wait for day of judgmenet. by Tufail Jaffri on 15 Aug 2009

Dear Fellows, I guess, there may be some misinterpretation.What i know is that Shahrukh him self is a Muslim by birth, and i think he can not be that stupid so he can speak something wrong about Islam or Holy Prophet.Since i know him, or i have heard many of his interviews, i feel he is a very good person him self. Who can't event hurt a single person, so it shard for me to believe that he has given such a statement which can hurt the believers of a religion he himself is part of.If he has committed this sin, i believe, he must pay for it in this world , and should wait for the Roz-e- Qayamat for this act as well.And if the statement is due to mistake from Magazine, being Muslim, he must take action against the magazine to prove his truth, and punish these stupid magazines people.

i believe in shahrukh, there is some misinterpretation. i trust him and i believe he can never do anything so mean... if u ppl liked shahrukh, then u should trust him.... hopeless junk of fools.

Officer by Syed Waqas on 21 Jul 2009

SRK was my favourite but he is no more important for me after his statement. I strongly CONDEMNED his words. He has no right to say anything about ISLAM. His knowledge about ISLAM is nothing. We all are very grieved and unhappy. Now I would change channel in which SRK is seen..

What about the painter who painted hidu goddesses naked.please don't overreact

This Religion is problem by jas on 18 Aug 2009

Why no body can have any opinion and express it about Islam and the so called prophet? As long as Muslims remain this close minded, ignorant and bigoted, no one will have any respect for them and they will remain backward and a real drag to world peace and progress.

No-No by manawwar roshan on 22 Aug 2009

It's becoz' Islam was brought to the people by our Holy Prohphet PBUH.In essence, Islam means 'submission' (to the will of God). And is a very peaceful religion.Anything said against the Holy Prophet PBUH who brought this message of salvation to Mankind is against the very basic belief of Muslims.It does not mean Muslims are close-minded. For a moment - let's talk about Hinduism, or Christianity and discuss stupid ideas about these religions - will the Hindus or Christians keep quiet? No.Fact is - my friend that a religion is a way of life. To build character, moral strength and perfect an imperfect being.This calls for mature discussions and not a 'he said, she said' kind of arguments.

sharukh khan talk about the Islam he knows nothing about that by predeep on 12 Jul 2009

sharukh khan is edieat person he is no right to tell any religion is wrong and right words in the society, he did not know about Islam he is not a perfect religioes leader or. If the man born on the earth thier should be some reposiblity for him. He should give repect to elder and childreds and in the society he should live in honest way and live with helping nature to all the society.The main part of BURQA for ladies is compulsary, it should protect them for seeing other people by teasing any others. if it banned thier should be no secuity to ladies and it is every it seen rape acid attack and love stories for that The Islam believing people take rules to wear a BURQA. The use lees fellow sharukh khan not known of this fact thier should differnce in real life realist life and it say sorry to on before of ALLAH in masjid. it is better to in his life and life of after death and in future it should not reapeat the same. The Islam loving people have chance to murder at time

SRK kafrana remarks by Sadiq Ullah on 08 Jul 2009

I condemned the remarks of shah rukh made agains our beloved Porphet Muhammad(PBUH). Too much popularity and wealth has detoriarated his mind. What is his status to comment against the Prophet. I personally now do not see his film and forwith whenever he is seen in picture. I realy hate him and want his downfall.

sharukh khan statement by namisha on 02 Jul 2009

There is a great number of people who belong to minority esp. in Sindh there is a great majority of Hindu Sindhis living in this part of the world. they are living a happy and prosperous life in Pakistan. We donot trample pitches of the cricket stadium's here.

Comment by Sajid on 27 Jun 2009

ShahRukh Khan is not a Muslim? He is not able to be said Muslim?In fact He is a Person Who has nothing any relegion. Nothing any Emotions about the others feeling. He just want to himself. Actually He is very rude man in his personal life

Roz-e-Qayamat by NaimatUllah on 26 Jun 2009

i believe that a muslim like sharokh khan well pay the price on Roz-e-Qayamat from Allah

Reaction by Saqib on 25 Jun 2009

I don't know the truth but being a muslim by birth such comparison doesn't toleratable. Shahrukh is muslim by birth as well. He must realise the punishment at Roz-e-Qayamat.

lets not believe what we are made to believe by mahjabeen ali on 25 Jun 2009

well i dont think that such a famous personality like shahrukh khan who is loved by people from all races would say something as malicious as alleged because this might jeoperdise his career and he being a person who calculates every step before taking it cannot do so. it should also be noticed that this can also be done by his rivals as he is very much liked by all and earlier too there have been attempts by politicians to attack his image.

Product of secularsim by Ghulam ali on 25 Jun 2009

Whetever expressed by Shah Rukh , must be probed, if he is found guilty he should be punished as per Indian constitution. His personal life symbolises non-muslim attitude but being a son of muslim parents he atleast should have followed the minimum values of islam.

shaarokaa by sharookaa on 25 Jun 2009

HI ALL HERE VOTE SHAROOKAA MANY TIMES AND GIVE HIM ROSE PLEASEhttp://connect.in.com/profile/vote/Shah_Rukh_Khan/287

srk shame on you by sam on 24 Jun 2009

I don't know the truth, but SRK should really tell the truth!! He acts and behaves like a non-muslim anyway, so i would not be suprised if he did say those vulgar words towards the prophet (pbuh)

shame on shahrukh khan by umbreen on 24 Jun 2009

COMMENTS AGAINST PROPHET by AYAZ BACHA on 24 Jun 2009

IF SHAH RUKH REALY DO IT SO THE ONLY PUNISHMENT FOR HIM IS DEATH SENTENCE

Comments SRK about Muhammad (PBUH) by Khalid Chandio on 23 Jun 2009

This is first time that people are saying all about this for Shah Rukh Khan but infact he is not a Muslim. He has a mandir in his home than how he is muslim. I don't mean to say any thing wrong about the other religions they are respectable for Muslims but I mean, if some one is Hindu he must follow the Rules

shahrukh's comments by yasir on 23 Jun 2009

It is time to do something with stupid people like shahrukh khan, I believe that a muslim who is passing such comments should not killed but put in jail and should not allow to see anybody or light...........

SRK comment by Farhana Rana on 23 Jun 2009

Salam..SRK said dat his hateful comment is a printing error, but if itz not a printing error in reality, he'll gonna pay 4 it 4 sure, 'cause ALLAH knows everything as HE is ALL-HEARING, ALL-KNOWING.
