Muslim Rights Group Says Karla Sofía Gascón's Deleted Tweets Favoring Islam Ban Are 'Hurtful, Offensive and Shocking'

Muslim advocacy group MPAC reacts to Karla Sofía Gascón's deleted tweets suggesting an Islam ban: "Hurtful, offensive and shocking."

The Muslim Public Affairs Council fired back Thursday at “Emilia Pérez” Best Actress Oscar nominee Karla Sofia Gascón after a series of since-deleted tweets suggesting an Islam ban in Europe resurfaced earlier in the day, calling them “hurtful, offensive and shocking.” “Until we ban religions that go against European values and violate human rights, such as Islam, under the protection of freedom of worship, we will not end part of the huge problem we face. “Cinema’s purpose isn’t to provide answers but to provoke questions.” The filmmaker suggested that the film is his “interpreted reality” of Mexico and that it was meant to be an operatic representation rather than a realistic one.
