A new documentary exploring the lives of gay Muslims could soon set off another round of violent protests in the Middle East.
The film’s producer, Sandi Dubowski, has promised to submit his movie to all the major film festivals of the Muslim and Western worlds. And even if it is rejected, he told Variety magazine, "We’ll find ways of screening it in every Muslim nation, even if it’s underground.”
The film, titled "In the Name of Allah,” will give viewers a glimpse of the Muslim world from a gay, lesbian, and transgender perspective.
Dubowski said it was important for understanding Islam. "The world right now needs to understand Islam,” he told Variety, "and these are the most unlikely storytellers of Islam.”
It will not be the first time Dubowski has courted controversy with a film. His "Trembling Before G-d” won the Teddy gay and lesbian award in 2001, but was boycotted in South Africa, Mexico, and Baltimore, Md. That film explored the private lives of gay Orthodox and Hasidic Jews.

He certainly has the cajonies.... The key though in all seriousness is the fact that he is not backing away from the intimidation factor of those weasels.

Sandi DuBowski received two Ford Program for Undergraduate Research Fellowships to study gay independent film while at Harvard University. His video TOMBOYCHIK won the 1994 Golden Gate Award for Best Short Documentary, Second Prize at the 1993 Chicago Lesbian and Gay Film Festival, and Honorable Mention at the Big Muddy Film Festival in 1994. He is currently in production on a feature shooting in Israel and Brooklyn entitled TREMBLING BEFORE G-D. Notice Sandi doesn't have the doo-dads required to film on location.....
