Incisive-View

Borat portrays himself in the movie as an anti-semitic, misogynistic and a racist who openly hates gypsies and jokes about rape & incest.

Cohen himself is an observant Jew and in 1989 first acted (in Neil Simon's play Biloxi Blues) with the Jewish Zionist youth movement group "Habonim Dror." If he is a zionist than his underlying ambition is to see the destruction of Palestine and many other Muslim countries for the vision of the “greater Israel”. So bearing that in mind, although we completely condemn his anti-Semitic remarks as all Muslims should, we question his objectives.

It shouldn’t take one by surprise that Cohen, a man who spends his holidays in Israel, would portray anti-Semitism as a primitive medieval adventure. Borat is set to present anti-Semitism as a backward reactionary tendency. By doing so Baron Cohen and his team are there to deflect criticism of global Zionism in general and of Israel in particular. This is indeed a clever non-violent legitimate political agenda.

If you look carefully at the Borat movie poster you will see Sacha Cohen smiling, with his thumb up and wearing a ring. Now look carefully at the ring and you will see ALLAH embossed on the side of the ring and on the other side engraving of the Kaaba (the house of god for Muslims in Mecca). What possible connection does this have to the movie and to the message of Borat? Therefore we would suggest that subconsciously he is implying that his immoral behaviour is connected to Islam. This is the ring that Malcolm X wore after returning from Hajj. This is a clear mockery of the name of ALLAH.
