So transgressive, so cowardly

After all, some things are sacred.

In his upcoming film 2012, instigator of random chaos director Roland Emmerich happily destroys the Sistine Chapel, St. Peter's Basilica, the statue of Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro ("Because I'm against organized religion."), but he baulked at showing the Kaaba in Mecca getting trashed because:
Well, I wanted to do that, I have to admit, but my co-writer Harald said I will not have a fatwa on my head because of a movie. And he was right. ... We have to all ... in the Western world ... think about this. You can actually ... let ... Christian symbols fall apart, but if you would do this with [an] Arab symbol, you would have ... a fatwa, and that sounds a little bit like what the state of this world is.
Good Dhimmi. Here's a biscuit.

Update: Meanwhile, standby for the $150 million biopic of the life of Mohammed.

Without Mohammed.

Or his life.

Well, the thing is, he doesn't really need to trash Islam; everyone knows that stoning, theocracy and general islamism are wrong, but the problem is that the more 'homely' religions - Christianity in the United States, some Christianity in England, Ultra-orthodox Judaism in Israel - they are seen as moderate when the can have a very negative influence.

So because Christians don't go around killing people, you have to smash up their religious monuments in film to awaken people to the danger of . . . uh, whatever Christians are plotting in the time they don't spend killing people?

Did Jesus run over your dog or something?

I'm sure the Eiffel Tower and the Tower of Pisa are destroyed also.

Maybe as the Arks zoom into space they'll look back and see Arabistan is a hole with magma at the bottom.

ELY:---->If islam is wrong than how come that every year u got more and more muslims in united states...and around the world??
TRIMEGISTUS:-->Are u tryin to say that muslims are killers?
I dont think so...cause muslim's ain't those who go and pick their noses into others business like United States does in Iraq,Avganistan...for oil..!!!
Tell me what would u do if someone would come into your house and try to take something that's yours???
About muslim (terrorists -the way u call them),they are not terrorists u think they really do all those killings or crushing buildings?
example: Twin Towers were crushed by united states not by muslims,theres no way u can take an airplane just like that,in 2 minutes us can put in air around 7 thousand war planes so theres not to mention other security alerts...!!!
All these are caused by ur country cause without these attacks ur country cant blame anyone and cant make wars ant without wars cant sell weapons which would bring economic disaster,u and ur country wouldnt have to eat...
