(25,699 posts)it makes fun of Mohammed, sure. I could care less if someone says shit about a jumped-up oil peddler who's been dead for fifteen hundred years, though.
What bugs me is the rest of it. The crux of the whole thing is that Muslims are inherently evil, subhuman scum. A plague upon the earth, that must be dealt with as such. They are depicted as mindless savages who run around chopping down dewy-eyed Christian innocents with axes, and setting fire to everything in an attempt to exterminate said dewy-eyed Christian innocents. The film's apparent protagonist takes the time to point out to his family - and the audience - that Muslims are all inherently terrorists and murderers, and only by getting rid of them will the world be improved.
That's what so many DU'ers are rallying in support of. No hint of disgust, no iota of "dude, that's not right." Instead, the producer - who, in an attempt to deflect reaction towards Jews, claimed to be an Israeli backed by Jewish investors - wins the hearts and support of many posters here, who are taking a break from denying hte 1st amendment rights of teachers, to defend the first amendment rights of a guy who comitted fraud in an knowing effort to stir up religious hatred.
What a guy!
