`Da Vinci Code hurts Muslim, Christian sentiments'

Staff Reporter

Foundation seeks ban on book and film in India

HYDERABAD: Khan Bahadur Babukhan Foundation has demanded the ban of the film "The Da Vinci Code" and also the book in India as it would hurt the sentiments of both Muslims and Christians.

The Foundation Chairman Bashiruddin Babukhan in a release said that though the Government cleared the screening of the film with a rider that the Censor Board should issue a certificate that the film did not represent the authentic belief of followers of Jesus Christ as depicted in the movie, it would still amount to blasphemy.

The projection in the movie and book that the Jesus Christ had married and given birth to children was against the core belief of not only the Christians but also Muslims, he said.
