Shah Rukh Khan teaches Muslims real Islam
Shah Rukh Khan has spoken for the first time about his thoughts on the Mumbai atrocities.
Speaking exclusively to Raj and Pablo for this Saturday's (6 December)
'Love Bollywood' Show on BBC Asian Network, Shah Rukh speaks openly
about why he hasn't talked about the attacks till now as well as his
views on what the younger generation of Muslims should be concentrating
on.
Shah Rukh said "I've tried to keep away from commenting on this as
there are no words to express a situation like this because our
feelings are mixed with anger, disbelief and sadness."
In light of the horrific attacks, Shah Rukh went on to give his thoughts on religion and the younger Muslim generation.
"Being
Muslim myself, I believe youngsters need to understand Islam and
respect the religion in the right way. It's such a huge waste and my
appeal to all in these times and in recent years is that please can we
run what we want in terms of politics, government, jobs and teaching
our children with the prime motive of taking communalism out of it. I
think no agenda should be attached to any kind of religion."
Shah Rukh spoke passionately about his views on what he feels should be
the only religion the nations' children should follow - 'work'; he goes
on to say, "The religion our children are born with should be something
they practice as a discipline and work should be developed as the new
religion."
