If Only Monty Python Was Making, ''Life Of Muhammad''



Everybody knows that French cartoon magazine Charlie Hebdo has published caricature of  Prophet Muhammad this week and fearing backlash  French government has closed embassies around the world!What the heck that got to do with Monty Python?

Monty Python's ''Life of Brian'', a 1979 British comedy film tells the story of Brian Cohen, a young Jewish man.Brian grows frantic when he finds that some people have started to follow him around, with even the slightest unusual occurrence being hailed as a "miracle". One day after slipping away from the mob, Brian runs into Judith, and they spend the night together. In the morning, Brian opens the curtains to discover an enormous crowd of people outside his mother's house, all proclaiming him to be the Messiah. Brian's mother protests: "He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy".

The Muhammad Book: The Rushdie Discourse In The Guise Of Lifestyle Literature

I was following Popes visit in UK and eventually came up with, 'Pope, Pokemon and porn don't drop from the sky'! While revolving around the Papal visit  bumped on  lifestyle guru Deepak Chopras interview in Newyork Times on his last book 'Muhammad', a few thoughts got added to my brain storming!

Life imitate art and art imitate life, that was the saying!Rushdie didn't bother about the wise cracks and chalenged the notion of unquestioned venerability of the devine!In his core message Salman Rushdie forever changed the routemap of literature and established itself larger than art or life!A Voltaire of our time, Rushdie showed the monumental weight of questioning through literature and subsequently found the world devided on it at the expense of his own life!
