My Name Is Khan to the media to tell the world what really happened in the United States at that time. More importantly: this is the movie that revealed the suffering of the Muslims the United States after the terrorist attacks the World Trade Center (WTC), something which has not much public knowledge of the world.

They become victims of slander, it is alleged terrorists by the police or FBI. Countless captured, for later released because there was no evidence. It is still not nothing. Countless Muslims became victims of beatings or mistreatment of Americans who pissed in the streets. The women were forced open her headscarf. Countless homes or property owned by Muslims were looted or vandalized. All the action was racist. Why not?

There are a bunch of Arabs led by Osama Bin Laden reportedly accused of terror with threw airplanes into the World Trade Center. As a result, two twin towers fell, and about 3000 people on board were killed. It was a horrible event.

But why then who are victims of retaliation are Muslims in the United States - totaling about 7 million of the 300 million population of the United States - who do not know anything about the terror events? Obviously this is due to the attitude of racism that lies in the depths of the hearts of many people the United States. This is the first racist attitudes that lead to destruction of the Indians of the Americas, or lead to slavery for hundreds of years of black people from Africa.

Events racism to Muslims after September 11 was really embarrassing. You see, the United States has always been highlighted as state champions of democracy, equal rights supporter, and protector of human rights. But through the "My Name Is Khan was shown just how bad the United States after September 11, 2001. Bad cop, bad journalists, bad neighbors, even teenagers too bad. All is not friendly. All the hateful and racist.

As mentioned above, My Name Is Khan is a romantic movie romance. Like most Bollywood films, he later became melancholy, full of scenes drain tears, and then all end up happy endings.

Rizwan Khan (Shahrukh Khan)

Rizwan Khan (played by actors of the top current world of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan) a young Muslim from Mumbai, India, go migrate to San Francisco, top sponsor his brother, Zakir, who had already been settled there, and success.

Rizwan people with Asperger's syndrome, a kind of autism that is mild disease. It makes it look different from other humans. He is very intelligent, capable of repairing almost all types of machines, but the difficulty interacts with new people. He was very afraid of the color yellow.

The assistance Zakir, Rizwan worked as a salesman of beauty products made from herbs. All seemed to run smoothly. Rizwan, Zakir and his wife, Haseena, a psychologist who wear headscarves, seemed to live in harmony. They were devout worship.

Mandira Khan (Kajol Devgan)

In our work, Rizwan acquainted with a nurse beauty, Mandira (played by actress number 1 Indian, Kajol Devgan). Mandira, living life as a widow with one son, Sameer alias Sam, having abandoned her husband.

Long story short, Rizwan and Mandira adrift of romance and married and settled outside of San Francisco, in places where they seek a small beauty salon. Mandira want any added Sameer Khan behind their name. This family friendly with a neighbor, Mark, a reporter with a wife (Sarah) and a boy (Reese).

Everything looks rosy. But unlike ordinary Indian film, here there are no scenes of dancing and singing for flavoring recipes. Instead, a number of songs put forward as an illustration for a particular scene. Thus, the film still feels India.

But then came the events of September 11 was hurt. Mark, their neighbors reporter, assigned to cover the war in Afghanistan, and killed there. Since then, his son, Reese, a close friend of Sameer, turned into enemies. Because the name behind the name Khan, Sameer Reese regarded as people of Afghanistan. Other people were hostile to them.



Haseena worse fate. He was beaten a number of men on the street just because they wear hijab. Other Muslim population suffered the same fate: the store was damaged, ditimpuk house, or the person beaten. In fact, not a few Indian Sikhs - wearing turbans on the head - also a victim because people imagine that Muslim Afghanistan. So once again, all this illustrates how racist attitudes still thrive in U.S. society.

Sameer received the worst fate. Starting an argument with Reese, Sameer beaten several teenage Caucasian simply because his skin is black. Actually, Reese tries to save Sameer, but to no avail. Sameer, who is dying had taken to the hospital but his life was saved.

Rizwan was so sad because he was very familiar with the son's stepmother. But the shock is the mother, Mandira. He thought''disaster''that befell them because of Khan's name on the back of his name and Sameer. And Rizwan is largely responsible for the disaster he was expelled. He asks Rizwan told Americans, including President of the United States: that the name Khan, but he was not a terrorist (My name is Khan, and I am not a terrorist).

Rizwan was sincerely doing that job. He wandered alone. In the wanderings, he had attended an open event which was attended by President George W. Bush. He approached the president while continuing to shout: My name is Khan, I am not a terrorist. Have not heard Bush's cry, the guards to subdue him because of suspected terrorists.

What he experienced, really painful: he entered the room with the hot temperature, then transferred to a very cold room. Various other punishment he should receive. Yet ultimately he should be freed because no proven as terrorists. It was also thanks to the help of three journalists from India.

Name Rizwan then bounced into a hero on television, for helping residents of a village hit by floods in Georgia. Incidentally villagers were black people and did not get assistance from anywhere. After a crowded news on television, help comes from Muslims who coordinated Haseena and her husband, Zakir.

This scene was apparently inspired flash flood tragedy in New Orleans due to inundation of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The majority of flood victims are black people and days can not help from the government. This event led to harsh criticism of President Bush's buffeted by the colored people especially from the United States.

In Gujarat, 2000-AN MUSLIMS KILLED
So now the happy ending arrives. Mandira entertained after police arrested the teen who killed his son, thanks to the testimony of Reese who feels guilty for the tragedy. Mandira was looking Rizwan to Georgia. They both then attended a meeting of the new President-elect Barack Obama to replace George Bush, with his supporters.

They managed to meet the new president. Your name is Khan and you're not a terrorist, said President Obama to Rizwan before thousands of supporters.

My Name Is Khan was first released in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, 10 February. Two days later, then this film is outstanding in Europe, the United States, Canada, Australia, and the rest of the world. In many places this film is reportedly a record-breaking Indian film audiences, as in Britain, Australia and the United States. Apparently My Name Is Khan added only strengthen the domination of Bollywood's top film world today, after stepping over Hollywood.

The New York Times, 13 February, in resensinya mention is interesting to see America through the lens of Bollywood, even just a fairy tale that is told. For example, the most impressive about the relationship between the Muslims (India) with the United States a black person in the movie. Khan''easily provoke tears, as she teaches about Islam and tolerance,''the newspaper wrote that the United States.

Tolerance? The words seem increasingly difficult to put into practice now. In India alone, the film was circulated in the midst of threats of violence without the tolerance of the supporters of Shiv Sena, a radical Hindu party and very anti-Islamic.

A number of movie theaters do not dare to play "My Name Is Khan. When the film was released in Mumbai, the main town and center of Indian film, 12 February, had deployed thousands of police guarding the theater of action of Shiv Sena. The group had lowered pamphlets and posters of movie theaters. In order to secure the film about two thousand supporters of the radical party that had secured the police.

Shiv Sena real action, according to many observers, focusing on the protagonist of the film, Shah Rukh Khan, who happens to Muslims. Khan is listed by Newsweek magazine as one of the 20 most influential leaders of the world, was out of the country to promote his film, when the Shiv Sena in action in Mumbai.

Through twitter Khan wrote that he did not want to disturb the atmosphere of his films is his hometown. ''I hope that peace prevail and the City in a state of calm,''he wrote. To note the total Muslim population of 140 million among the 1 billion population of India, several times a victim of violence from Hindu majority group.

In Mumbai, for instance, in 1993 anti-Muslim riots broke out among others, fueled party Shiv Sena. In 2002, anti-Muslim riots erupted in Gujarat for several months, leading to the 2000's Muslims died.

As noted Professor Martha Nussbaum, an expert on law and ethics at the University of Chicago in his book The Clash Within (Harvard University Press, 2008), the killing of Muslims in Gujarat by Hindu radical groups is very cruel. Which were slaughtered not only women and children. Pregnant women oroknya issued, then thrown into the flames. Rape of Muslim women is prevalent.

What's worse, these riots involving police institutions, intelligence, or Hindu bureaucrats, even the Chief Minister of the State of Gujarat, Narendra Modi. After the riots many Muslim-owned property that was left running, taken over by Hindus. That is what happened in India, which are often proud of as a democratic country.
