#1 Funny!! I watched this program on the Discovery Channel, 7 pm MST, DirecTV, followed by 1 hour dicussion by various "experts" led by Ted Koppel. Perhaps they meant some other documentary?

#2 I get the feeling that Discovery Channel India killed the broadcast.

#4 Why didn't you guys burn down some things?

Everyone knows that it's the thing do do if you feel insulted and follow a "peaceful religion".

#5 You can always tell when Lent starts, it's when the media begin Christian belief bashing.
You'll never see similar treatment given to Islam during their holy days - quite the contrary I've noticed.
Must have something to do with the western media elite being cowardly, effete, self hating pussies.

#6 The "documentary" does not bother me. I figure let him throw it out there, and see what sticks. My understanding from people who know are the tombs were actually discovered in the early 80s. The BBC did a report on them around 1996. Almost all biblical scholars, a number with no vested interest, have rejected the claim for years.

Can you imagine if Cameron had done the piece on mohammed?

#7 Mouse I read the original archaeologist's report completely disproving the whole thing. Cameraon would have to had know it was a fraud from the beginning.

After hearing about this Mocumentary, our local men gathered up all their torches and met at the the cable station. One of the guards asked us what the hell we were doing. He pointed out that we didn't qualify for murderous rioting. "You boys don't have diapers on your heads, ya an't Muslims are you? And what's up with the beer?"

Actually Hollyshit did a movie in 1976 about Muhamhead called, "The Message" (Anthony Quinn). You guessed it, they didn't actually show the Pedophile for Profit on screen. The film was a whitewash. The even had the High Islamic Congress of the Shiat in Lebanon involved. Akkad, director (executive producer of all 8 "Halloween" films.

March 9, 1977, a group of black Muslims attacked three buildings in downtown Washington D.C. and took 149 people hostage. They had plenty of demands, but the only coherent one was to prevent the upcoming release of "The Message." Thirty-nine hours later, the siege was over -- a reporter was dead and dozens of hostages had been stabbed, beaten or shot.

#9 Right you are, JerseyMike. A few years ago I cancelled my Newsweek subscription because of their annual pre-Easter Christianity bashing. Now U.S. News & World Report is doing the same thing and I cancelled that right before Christmas. They haul out all the Gnostics and other heretics right before Christian holy days and give them a cover story. There's no news involved -- it's the same theological dissident crap every year. A non-Christian couldn't learn anything about mainstream Christianity from these "news" magazines if they tried.
