while these things are strictly forbidden in clear words, Cinema business and performing arts (especially business of selling edibles in cinema houses) is not specifically forbidden.
Some people also justified burning of Banks considering non-halal nature of business.
I'm not supporting burning anything.
I'm only talking about that argument in which we were considering it to be totally haraam.IMO that doesnt equate to the dead meat allowed in extreme circumstances.

Again my question remains unanswered. If we start arguing on something being halaal and something haraam (other than those cleary forbidden), then we will end up in a closed society, where people will act like robots
It's a long debate, but I guess my issue is with the corrupt power of a few that have ultimately destroyed an entire nation. My parents too remember movies and entertainment forms that were alive when they were younger. The Pakistan they knew is nothing of what it like is today. Not intentionally wanting this to become a religious debate about what is haram or not but what is disturbing, is the lack of freedom given to a nation so that they can decide for themselves what they deem as appropriate and in appropriate. Who is some extremist (beep beep) mula to tell me what I am allowed to watch and what I am not allowed to watch. Why must an entire nation follow a few people who claim they know religion best. It is very sad how Pakistans society has become sheltered and closed off to an industry that would of ultimately helped Pakistanis learn about the world and make their own decisions about what they want to believe, follow and live by. But I guess that is the whole point. To stop that happening, no one is allowed to think for themselves. How the (beepers$*#%) have succeeded in ruining Pakistan and the religion. Wouldn't Pakistan have been better off if it were still apart of India, at least in the arts and entertainment in relation this thread, Im sure it would have and in many other aspects as well.
Following Dawn.com’s coverage on the aftermath of the destruction that severely crippled the Pakistani cinema exhibitor’s fraternity, and subsequently on Capri cinema’s renovation, we caught up with Farrukh Rauf, Director of Capri cinema, for an exclusive behind the scenes look at the renovation and upgrades.
Talking to Dawn.com, Mr. Rauf thanked the media for its constant support and answered questions about Capri’s revival, the difference between a big-screen experience, and the cost-effectiveness of a multiplex.
Before and during the interview, we had unrestricted access to every room as well as exit at Capri, regardless of the hour. The management, which includes directors Asif Razzaq and Mr. Rauf, and General Manager Aziz Khattak, were accommodating to our camera’s interruptions as construction work continued on their looming deadline.
Capri cinema opened today, Friday December 21, 2012, and by both luck and design, the date was exactly three months since the cinema was burnt down by angry protestors
The first film screening at Capri is the full-on Salman Khan entertainer “Dabangg 2”; a surefire box-office success that guarantees more than one weekend of housefulls.
why , they finally re-opened the cinema. Its good that they continued with it. Otherwise, there were rumors that owners got cinema burnt to built a shopping Plaza
The burning of cinemas is, like someone already states, related to the increasingly conservative and hypocritical mindset of the individuals living in Pakistan. It somehow is okay for the people to watch nudity if shown in bollywood movies yet the same type of movies if made in Pakistan are termed too vulgar for the 'respectable' middle class families!
However the argument that this along with the Islamization during the Zia-regime is solely to blame for the decline of the Pakistani film industry is not necessarily true. We didm't push into the international Arena with our movies and that is why we fell through. We as a nation should have proud enough for our Cinema to share it with the rest of the world but we didn't do that. A shame really! But lets hope the dozens of movies being produced in Pakistan at the moment are successful enough to encourage others and we can get our industry back up on its feet :D
Now thats a news that Pakistan is producing dozen of movie currently. I hope that should be something else than the Gujar Gandasa or Shoaib Mansoor Mulla bashing flicks.
