#1 The roots of the conflict are in the period before the Crusades when the Muslims invaded and took over most of the Christian lands around the Mediterranean.

#2 Isn't the buzz that this flick is pretty Moooslim-friendly?
How could Ridley Scott do it after making Black Hawk Down?!

#4 Ridley did a little interview I saw - he's a moonbat. Honest. A Bush H8r.

So you can bet this will be as harmonious as the current Hollyweird Literati MegaGlowintheDark PCsters can make it - and still make money. I'm sure they'll babble a lot of silly shit... and then copy Mel Gibson as much as they figure they can get away with.

#5 "In this climate how are people going to react to these images of Muslims attacking churches and tearing down the cross and mocking it?"

They're STILL doing these things today. But let's not let the truth get in the way of the "Islam is the religion of Peace" proproganda, shall we.

virgiian: you hit the nail on the head, unfortunately most people don't like to go "that" far into history. It tends to blow holes in their stories. How dare you. hehe

#6 The Christian kingdoms that Islam attacked first did nothing to them except exist. Muslims blew in out of the desert because mohammed told them they were meant to conquer Constantinople and they slavishly kept on coming until they did.

I doubt that it is an accident that Byzantium was stinking filthy rich. For a man who began his career "righteously" raiding the caravans of the evil Meccans who had teased and persecuted him *sniff*, it should come as no surprise that he wanted to take all that Byantium had.

And when Byzantium called for help from the West, the west came to help (although their helping left a great deal to be desired) And yet, its the Crusaders who started it all. Yeah.

BTW, how is this for tolerance. mohammed ordered his minions to take the principle church of each town and make into a mosque so that the local Christians would be thoroughly humiliated. So the Muslims stole the Hagia Sophia, the most beautiful of all Christian churches and turned it into a mosque. All of its treasures were stolen, its magnificent frescoes were covered up and they hung these silly ugly monstrous Islamic shield thingies in there. Way to improve the place.

The Greek Orthodox Church has repeatedly asked for it back even in modern times. But the Muslims would would go balistic and murder everything in sight if something which they wrongfully took was ever returned to its rightful owners. So now its a museum to both Islam and Christianity as if the theiving Muslims ever had a right to it in the first place.

#8 Rather than go watch a movie, let's do a real life re-enactment, we'll ride our trusty M-1A2's into the Holy Lands and wipe the pagan infidel Muslims from the face of the Universe with bullets, FAE and the mighty mighty MOAB. Then, we'll give all their lands to the Jews, just to be really mean.
