It was a result of a writing error.. Mpac should correct their article, from the gulf-times.com

Khan said it was a “writing error” and that he had named the Prophet among the most impressive personalities in history.

“Obviously I think that there is no more important figure in history than Prophet Muhammad in the most positive way possible. Also, being a Muslim and standing up for the tenets of Islam is my most important agenda. If they (MAC) have seen my interviews on TV about Islam and Prophet Muhammad, they would know it’s a writing error and not a thought or view that I believe in,” Khan said.

“For all practical purposes, Prophet Muhammad is the most important positive figure in Islam,” he added.

This two-bit actor who proudly propagates all that is antithical to the Deen of Allah, will no doubt frantically be attempting to joining the Ummah of the Prophet (pbuh) on the Day of Resurrection, when all his idol worshipping friends and the idols he teaches his sons and daughters to prostrate to have forsaken him.

Tough choice, Bollywood or the Ummah.

Bollywood. Colour, music, dancing, spectacle, fun, happiness, beautiful women in beautiful clothes expressing themselves through song and dance, independent women making their own personal decisions and forging their own destiny through education and work.

Islam. Um, er, oooh, um. Are Kites still allowed ?

Ooh, I hope nothing bad happens to him on the way to his fancy restaurant. ;)

Islamophobia is everywhere, we cannot escape it. We must fight!

This guy is a looser and bollywood is a load of sh*t.

I am not his fan not do I watch Bollywood's nonsense films. As for Shahrukh Khan he is a confused man but in the light of his previous interviews it is difficult to believe that he would hold such views. He was asked about historical figures and he mentioned about some negative figures like Hitler etc and probably as a slip of the tongue forgot to say positive figures and mentioned like “Prophet Muhammad and Nelson Mendala.” From this quote this is quite obvious what he wanted to say. The fact, however, is that as a Muslim he should not have mentioned Prophet’s name next to Mendala but we know his know about Islam. But then what can you expect from a person with his background, married to a Hindu, has a temple in his house, teaches his children about Hinduism and Islam both.
Look at this excerpt from his old interview. How could he have said what he is reported to have said.
Rajdeep: You mentioned in the starting that you are liberal, you are Muslim. What has been interesting, your Indian identity or your Muslim identity? You are a proud Indian Muslim, now when you hear terrorists who speak on the name of the religion, speak on the name of Islam, claim that through some form of terrorism they'll actually reach jannat(heaven). What do you have to say those?
Shah Rukh: Let me clarify, I have read the holy Quran. It states that if you heal one man, you heal the whole mankind, and if you hurt one man, you hurt the whole mankind. Nowhere in the Quran does it say that jihad will lead you to jannat (paradise). As a matter of fact, the book says that in a war, you can not kill any woman, you can not kill any child and you can not kill any animal, or destroy any crops. Jihad was supposed to be propagated by the Prophet himself but unfortunately now two versions of Islam exist. There is an Islam from Allah and - I am not being anti - very unfortunately, there is an Islam from the Mullahs. I appeal to all of them to please give the youngsters, the right reading of the Quran.

Im sure thats what the 700 million strong poverty stricken Indian underclass see as well, of which you i'm certain are not one of...

MPACUK are treading on very thin line between defamation and reality.

This story is unsubstantiated and totally out of order. Like the teddy bear affair it is being blown out of propotion. Shahrukh khan did not make those comments it was a typing error which the magazine has apparently apologised for.

So MPACUK get your facts right

I wonder what is MPACUK's stand in terms of Salman Khan drinkng and Aamir Khan supporting an organisation which gives Israel billions.

You were quick to jump on Shahrukh khan about something he did not say but what about these guys????

Come on MPACUK you don't really do jsutice now do you.

You need to congratulate Shahrukh Khan for being the only muslim actor to use Quranic phrases and defending Islam, you need to acknowledge properly what the truth is before making allegations which quite frankly are wrong

Mpac read the following site to clarify the point that Shahrukh did not say those things

http://www.timenstyle.com/luxury/interview.html

"Sorry to burst your bubble about the 'amazing' Khan but when are some Muslims going to stop watching Bollywood whilst pining over Shahrukh Khan and start to defend the Ummah? "

Got news for you Pakistani lads... NEWS FLASH: MOST MUSLIMS ARE NOT FROM PAKISTAN OR INDIA.

we could not care less about your back-home obsessions. Oh and your cricket team is **** at anything else other than 20/20/.

"MPACUK are treading on very thin line between defamation and reality."

Indeed, but its a useful post because it gives an indication of the sort of direction they would like to move the UK in. Criminal charges for people saying things etc.

I agree this is very specific.

oops, awkward silence

Couldn't agree more. But Mpac only comes from an Asian perspective of things for the Asian Muslims in most non-Asian Muslim opinions.

Well i don't think that is necessary becasue i believe in freedom of speech. If you are insulted by comments then you should respond appropriately. The problem in this countryhowever is that muslim do not get a chance to respond or the muslim authorities can't get thier finger out.

"If you are insulted by comments then you should respond appropriately. The problem in this countryhowever is that muslim do not get a chance to respond or the muslim authorities can't get thier finger out."

No, I think you mean that in this country narrow-minded, ill-informed bigots don't get the chance to quasi-legally murder those with whom they disagree.

I THINK THIS IS NOT WRITING MISTAKE.BUT WE HAVE NO PROVE AGAINST S.K.HE SAID"Obviously I think that there is no more important figure in history than Prophet Muhammad in the most positive way possible. Also, being a Muslim and standing up for the tenets of Islam is my most important agenda. If they (MAC) have seen my interviews on TV about Islam and Prophet Muhammad, they would know it’s a writing error and not a thought or view that I believe in".
I HAVE READ DIFFERENT ARTICLES ON INTERNET RELATING TO THIS MATTER.SOME PEOPLE ARE SAYING THAT SHAHRUKH IS LAYING.HE INSULT "HAZRAT MUHAMMAD(PEACE BE UPON HIM)" AND TO AVOID THE NEGATIVITY AMONG PEOPLE HE SAID THAT IT IS WRITING MISTAKE.AND SOME PEOPLE ARE SAYING HE IS TRUE AND INNOCENT.WHAT SHOULD WE DO......
SIMPLY LET THIS MATTER TO ALLAH.IF SHAHRUKH IS A LAYER ALLAH WILL PUNISH HIM.

Am not sure what your trying to get at?? Please explain yourself clearly if you going to use my comment.

What planet are you on???? Reading materials from the website and concluding?????

I contacted the magazine editor and was told they had apologised for thier mistake in Times of India for the typing error. STOP READING WEBSITES!!!!

You have no sense of knowledge in how to tackle an issue like this, do not comment. And please stop saying 'leave it to Allah'. It is Allah who put you on this planet to show that you can be a good muslim so no you don't leave it. Allah (SWT) who put you on the planet to find the truth and not accuse by listening to chinese whispers. Show some intellectual riggor will ya.

I dont know what shahrukh khan said if its true or not. I will only believe if there is a video of him proving to me that he has actually said this. I really cant believe that he would say such a thing. So before anyone believes maybe they should get it confirmed.
