Indeed, those who disbelieve - it is all the same for them whether you warn them or do not warn them - they will not believe. (6)
Allah has set a seal upon their hearts and upon their hearing, and over their vision is a veil. And for them is a great punishment. (7)
And of the people are some who say, "We believe in Allah and the Last Day," but they are not believers. (8)
They [think to] deceive Allah and those who believe, but they deceive not except themselves and perceive [it] not. (9)
In their hearts is disease, so Allah has increased their disease; and for them is a painful punishment because they [habitually] used to lie. (10)
And when it is said to them, "Do not cause corruption on the earth," they say, "We are but reformers." (11)
Unquestionably, it is they who are the corrupters, but they perceive [it] not. (12)
And when it is said to them, "Believe as the people have believed," they say, "Should we believe as the foolish have believed?" Unquestionably, it is they who are the foolish, but they know [it] not. (13)
And when they meet those who believe, they say, "We believe"; but when they are alone with their evil ones, they say, "Indeed, we are with you; we were only mockers." (14)
[But] Allah mocks them and prolongs them in their transgression [while] they wander blindly. (15)
Those are the ones who have purchased error [in exchange] for guidance, so their transaction has brought no profit, nor were they guided. (Al Baqarah 6-16)

Most disturbing thing is that the lead in this movie is a Muslim girl and somehow her parents allowed her to play this role.

It intrigues me to see that little children who aren't even old enough to watch this TV MA movie are allowed to act in it..

I've come across this 2 days ago, watched an awareness video by smile2jannah in the UK....

It's going to be too difficult keeping kids away from these kind of movies and shoots in media.

Any kid with access to social media or even Netflix in the house will at some point encounter this movie or a shot of it.

I know it's French but social media makes anything Internationally widespread.

With all this stuff and LGBT sensitising at early age makes the world look like a scary place in the future.... There will be a lot of confused souls....

I have one question to ask. Hollywood is known to be a cult of child molesters and exploitation of children, especially of little boys. The largest victims in Hollywood movies are boys victims. How come in Islamicboard.com I hear no one talks about it. I need to ask a question for learning purposes because this is what I am getting from society so please moderators let me ask this question so that I learn: Is molestation of boys ok and not as severe as molestation of little girls? Which is worse molesting boys or girls and is molesting boys ok?

Its also France. I know in France there are lots of liberal Muslims. Many Muslims are in the film industry and also support LGBTQ. France is another dangerous zone for muslims

The name of the girl who played the lead role is Fathia Youssof and she is a Muslim. There are so many people in showbiz industry who are born Muslims but their actions show that they have nothing to do with religion. They worship only their desires.

May Allah guide her to the straight path! Ameen!

My goodness, May Allah guide her, because if not, she is going to have a lot to account for on Judgement Day. I am scared enough for myself, I can't imagine being responsible for the sins of millions of others as well.

Oh, I hope I can figure out how to get rich quick and move away from this corrupt society.

Look what that video is promoting? Unshackle herself...from Islamic value. Excuse me. Islam is not a culture and value that is intended to shackle women into oppression. Ironically they place a female with full hijab and neqab to say unshackle herself from Islamic value. Must we remind everyone that you are submitting to Allah who created you male and female? Must we remind you that when you go through the horror and I mean it here...HORROR of death because when you are dying it is horror....much like the end of time is horror....but here you are facing that horror alone and you are seeing the world leave you and you are going to be separated from your family and loves and materialistic love objects.....by the hand of the angels who are commanded by Allah (Subhanahu Wa Talaa) to take your soul whom they can only do it by the will of Allah himself, meaning Allah IS THE ONE who is taking your soul to return to him and have your day of judgement started. Would you want to leave this world with the idea THAT YOU ARE LIBERATED FROM SHACKLE of Islam, Athubillah from such a horrible ending?? That concept plaques women 99.99% of the time where they believe that Islam shackles them. NO. Islam doesn't shackle YOU. Islam PROTECTS YOU. Islam puts boundaries in both sexes and not to cross the LINE! Much like women are restricted, so are men are restricted...we both haves lines set for us NOT TO CROSS THEM and to be submissive and obey Allah and his prophets and be true Muslims to ask questions for learning purposes ONLY and not for objections and in some cases DO NOT ASK...just obey and submit to fulfill the definition of a true Muslim. I am not even saying mu'amin...I am saying Muslim. In general, majority of people now are not even been able to attaint to be true Muslim and not just by name.

Sooooo let me get this straight...women prefer to be used as sex object and exploited and be single mothers and to mix with men and to remove their hijjab and put make-up and go through plastic surgery and try to compete with men and and and....vs been like the best of the women on Earth: Khadija (my Allah be pleased with her) and the mother of the mu'ameenin???

What have societies have reached? But observe...again and again...observe...WHERE is the father? Where is the man of the house? Why is he not the one leading that house?

The movie is overwhelmingly opposed by concerned Christians in the so called west.

The inappropriate artwork for "Cuties" has drawn severe criticism for sexualizing young girls.

.

Streaming platform Netflix has apologized for using an inappropriate promotional images for the upcoming French film Cuties. More than 170,000 people have signed a petition urging an immediate ban on the movie, whose images sexualize a group of 11-year-old girls

Very true. We have seen wikiislam and then what we will see? This is getting worse. I have the sensation that Al Masih Ad Dajjal is about to come in short time. I believe that ISIS is the final and last kharij and after it is gone then the Antichrist will emerge forth from it...

Of course it is just as bad. We were just talking about the girls because the cuties series is about girls.

Doucore : I was born in France, I grew up there and this movie is about a lot of traditions I saw when I was young, because when I was a child, my dream was to be a boy.
I didn’t want to be a girl because of a lot of injustices I saw around me. Because of that, I was praying [to] God at 6, 7 years old to make me a boy.
I saw that the world could be better and easier as a guy.
I grew up in both cultures — my parents are from Senegal and I also have the Western culture. I was often torn between both as a woman.
Today, I’m fine, I am happy to be a girl of course, but we have to fight to change the mentality of people about the place of women in society,
and the movie is about how to become a woman in our society because it’s a bit complicated.

TheWrap : The movie seems to be critical about muslim culture that she (Amy) comes from.
There is a scene about a matriarch lecturing women in the community about obeying their husbands, dress and act in a certain way, very subjugated way.
But then also criticize about how young girls in the western society are over sexualized, they have access to extremely sexual content before they have the ability to process that.
So you are critical to both cultures.

Doucore : Exactly. This little girl is lost in both oppressions of female. The question is should we have the right to choose which woman we can be in this world or not.
In our culture, even today, I can say I’m not totally free, because I love to wear short dresses and at the same time, when I go to a religious ceremony, I wear a veil.
So just choose as a woman: who do you want to be?

She does seem lost. May Allah forgive and guide her and everyone who is lost.
Certainly it's challenging to practice Islam in this world, but that is true not only in our time, all Prophets and Messengers peace be upon them and those who follow them went through hard times as well.

Fighting has been enjoined upon you while it is hateful to you. But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah Knows, while you know not. Al Baqarah 216

Or do you think that you will enter Paradise while such [trial] has not yet come to you as came to those who passed on before you?
They were touched by poverty and hardship and were shaken until [even their] messenger and those who believed with him said,"When is the help of Allah ?" Unquestionably, the help of Allah is near. Al Baqarah 214

Did We not expand for you, [O Muhammad], your breast? And We removed from you your burden, Which had weighed upon your back And raised high for you your repute.
For indeed, with hardship [will be] ease. Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease. So when you have finished [your duties], then stand up [for worship].
And to your Lord direct [your] longing. Ash-Sharh

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The Fire is surrounded by all kinds of desires and passions, while Jannah is surrounded by all kinds of disliked undesirable things." Sahih al Bukhari

'A'isha reported: I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: There is nothing (in the form of trouble) that comes to a believer even if it is the pricking of a thorn that there is decreed for him by Allah good or his sins are obliterated. Sahih Muslim

Feminism has lost its cause.. Everything is being done in the name of 'exploring ones feminity'. I dont know what's wrong with the west. They have mutilated the concept of equality with over-sexualisation of females and made them to believe that this is freedom/equality and anti patriarchy.
I dont blame many muslim women to dislike the patriarchal culture of their homeland. But we need to understand the difference between social norms, traditions and religion and islam. The thin line is blurred by these feminist propaganda who have distorted the freedom given to women by Islam.
If a girl wants to wear short clothes she can.. As long as it is not before namehram men etc.

Iam a feminist myself, but it pains me to see how the true sense of feminism is undermined by these movies and portrayal of girls and women at large.
I see in Pakistan cases of women being burned for not bringing enough dowry, getting acid thrown, getting married to thr quran so that the family won't have to give them their rightful share in inheritance or women becoming the sacrificial animal to absolve the male of their families of the crimes they have done.. Uneducated mullahs and muslim men defend it through fabricated islamic laws etc, and as a result women start to hate islam..


The same is the case shown in the movie(i think). She must hve been oppressed under the name of rligion so much that she ran away from it.. We need to teach our children the essence of islam, away from the patriarchal culture.

The degenerate ruling elites are becoming more and more brazen.

Evil in plain sight

Netherflix promises to do a better job of hiding the pedo in the future:

Netflix apologized on Thursday for a movie poster it released depicting several pre-teen girls in sexually suggestive poses, claiming the promotion was not "representative" of the film.

The movie streaming movie platform received significant backlash on social mediaTuesday and Wednesday – after copies of the poster circulated. In it, four young girls are shown in crop tops and boy shorts. One girl is bending over, while another is squatting with her legs spread.

In a statement, Netflix said it was "deeply sorry" for the "inappropriate artwork" it used to promote the movie, a French film that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. "It was not OK, nor was it representative of this French film," Netflix said. "We’ve now updated the pictures and description."

The company, on its streaming service, originally described the film as one in which the protagonist, 11-year-old Amy, "becomes fascinated with a twerking dance crew."

Twerking is a form of highly sexualized dancing originally popularized in the 1980s.

In the revised description, Netflix states that Amy in the film "starts to rebel against her conservative family's traditions when she becomes fascinated with a free-spirited dance crew."
Oh, great, so the pictures and the description have been updated. That changes everything! Carry on, gentlemen....

Meanwhile, over at the Hellmouth, Devil Mouse executives expressed their fiendish amusement at the clumsiness of the new guys. "You don't rub all that overt pedo-propaganda right in their faces," said Maury Baalstein, Executive Vice-President of Surreptitious Sexuality. "The whole point is to slide it all right past the parents, so they don't even realize what you're doing or how you're warping their children's minds."

"Look at Monsters Inc," added David Belphegorian, Senior Assistant Executive Vice-President of Rituals and Programming. "Pixar put out a whole freaking movie series about abusing children and everyone thinks it's just a cute, furry inversion of the monster-under-the-bed theme. That's not going to fly if you show the little kids being felt up by creepy adults or chained upside-down in a pentagram being sacrificed to Our Infernal Master right on the movie poster!"

Cuties: Netflix indicted by US grand jury over controversial film


Streaming giant Netflix has been indicted by a grand jury in the US for allegedly promoting “lewd visual material” in a controversial film.

Netflix has been indicted by a grand jury in the US for allegedly promoting “lewd visual material” of a child in connection to the release of the controversial French film Cuties.

The movie has faced a major backlash online, with many saying it’s basically an incognito child porn film targeting paedophiles.

The hashtag #CancelNetflix was trending last month shortly after the film’s release on the streaming service.

Cuties focuses on a young Senegalese girl who joins a French hip-hop dance troupe.

It’s supposed to be a coming-of-age dramedy, based loosely on the experiences of writer and director Maïmouna Doucouré.

The film premiered at Sundance film festival where it was then acquired by Netflix earlier this year.

However, the film has now landed the streaming giant in hot water.

A grand jury in Tyler County, Texas returned the indictment against the streaming giant on September 23, it was revealed overnight.

Al-hamdillah I am single, not married and do not have children Phew! That is a burden off my shoulder...that being said...the responsibility of protecting the children from all of this goes on the mother. She have to make sure the children are raised correctly, she have to make sure they are taught proper Islamic teaching.
