Ah.... ShahRukh goes with the personal jihad gambit. A difficult move trying to convince that millions who have been killed by muslims is because of muslims' personal jihad. I think he should have gone with "Killing of "innocents" is against islam" strate. At least that way he is not outright lying, only making a qualified statement, which being non-muslims are sinners, not innocent. Well, next bomb blast or terrorist attach SRK can say that.

Kuala Lumpur, Dec 06: <b>Bollywood icon Shahrukh Khan said his upcoming movie 'My name is Khan' will deal with the ordeals faced by ordinary Muslims in a world that increasingly associates Islam with terrorism.</b>
Khan, who was conferred Malaysian title "Datuk" in Malacca this morning, said shooting for the movie, <b>which will help clear the misperception that all Muslims are terrorists, is to begin later this month in Los Angeles.</b> <i>( i am looking forward to this)</i>
"The movie is about a Muslim person's strife to tell people that 'my name is Khan but I am not a terrorist'," he told reporters in Malacca.
Islam does not in any way tell you to be violent, he said, adding it does not support terrorism.
"I think the whole concept of jihad, the whole concept of warring needs to be explained as Allah meant it to be in the Quran," Khan said.
"I don't make such films but my director, Karan Johar, feels that we ought to."
Khan said Malacca was a beautiful city and agreed to assist the state in developing the local film industry. He suggested that the state should set up a one or two floor studio and labs to entice movie makers to come and shoot there.
The superstar said he would come to Malacca later next year to shoot a movie there.
"There is a film I am planning some time in August and September and will send a team down to look around," he told a press conference in Malacca after receiving his title from governor Mohd Khalil Yaakob at a ceremony held in Ayer Keroh.
The tentative title for the proposed movie is 'Happy New Year', he added.
On how he felt about his 'Datukship', the actor said that it was an honour not only for him but also for all actors from India.
