This film is about the difficult situations in which Pakistanis and
Muslims in general are caught up since 9/11. There is a struggle between
the Fundamentalists and Liberal Muslims. This situation is creating
a rift not only between the western world and the Muslims but also within
the Muslim community. The educated and modern Muslims are in a difficult
situation because of their approach towards life and their western attire.
They are criticized and harassed by the fundamentalists. On the other
hand the western world sees them as potential suspects of terrorism
just because of their Muslim names.
This paradox is resulting in great suffering for a forward looking
Muslim. This is the theme of the film 'Khuda Kay Liye', which in English
means 'In the name of God' or literally 'For God's sake'.
The interesting thing about this film is how it connects the happenings
in three continents. This film is based on serious issues, raising a
lot of controversial questions engaging the Muslim minds these days.
