[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:East is East (US poster).jpg

Image:East is East (US poster).jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Introduction

"However, the way the muslim religion is portrayed in this film is not the way muslims behave in everyday life. This movie is based more on the Pakistani culture rather tham Islam, which are not the same."

1. This part sounds pretty subjective. 2. Sentences are not supposed to start with 'however'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.216.64.18 (talk) 15:37, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

I noticed this and changed the preceding sentence to fix the problem. The user who added those sentences appears to go around editing articles relating to women in Islam. I'll call it vandalism since the user just tacks similar badly formed rebuttals onto the articles, instead of addressing the concerns on the talk pages. -- Crnk Mnky 07:16, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fish and Chips?

'In France the film was retitled Fish and Chips. ...' Really? Or is this a wind up? Even if it's not, then the elipsis should be removed after chips - POV. - Tpacw (talk) 11:16, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sikhism/Islam

This may be my own ignorance (very likely!) but the wedding in the film appears to me to have elements of Sikhism about it? Especially the men wearing turbans. I was under the impression that this didn't happen in Islam, rather they would wear close fitting hats (similar to a skull cap). Anyone know better? -Tpacw (talk) 11:16, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
