Controversy follows controversy in recent news from Singapore; censors there have banned four documentaries from the Singapore International Film Festival including Indian Muslim filmmaker Parvez Sharma's film "A Jihad for Love." Sharma's documentary is about lesbian and gay Muslims whose jihad -- or personal struggle -- is focused on countering established taboos towards homosexuality in the Islamic world.
