I say F U to the director of the movie "2012"

For "2012," Emmerich set his sites on destroying the some biggest landmarks around the world, from Rome to Rio. But there's one place that Emmerich wanted to demolish but didn't: the Kaaba, the cube-shaped structure located in the center of Mecca. It's the focus of prayers and the site of the Hajj, the biggest, most important pilgrimage in Islam.

"Well, I wanted to do that, I have to admit," the filmmaker told scifiwire.com. "But my co-writer Harald [Kloser] said, 'I will not have a fatwa on my head because of a movie.' And he was right."


What a bunch of garbage. We cannot destroy the Kaaba in a movie or the terrorists will get us. I say they should piss on it first then blow it up with a car bomb.

wha? you don't think the fact that a director is willing to destroy christian and other religious landmarks but not muslim landmarks is discussion worthy?

and please, we know exactly what would happen if they destroyed the kaaba in a film. Hell, when there was a drawing they didn't like tens of thousands of people rioted and issued death threats.

That is insane! I'm sure you don't mean what you said... Actually, you should edit out the last para... it is really inflammatory

 

[JKing106]

No, I don't think it's worthy of discussion. It's a fucking movie. Fuck, you people are so stupid.

Yet here you are discussing it...

There is only one religion we're not allowed to piss on. Fancy that.

 

[OCGuy]

Wow, another idiot who plays into the hands of radical Islam.

Where is that cartoon of Mohammed with a bomb-turban when you need it?

 

[lord_emperor]

Sounds like the "terrists" won.

 

[Red Dawn]

Because the followers of it are apeshit nuts.All religions are complete bullshit but that one is the worse.

This.

 

[JKing106]

Sounds like intolerant fuckheads gather for circlejerk. What's new?

You're speaking of Christianity, I assume. I agree 100%. It's the worst. They're all delusional bullshit, though.

I guess we know who you support.

Bout time to pray isnt it?

I not weak minded enough to believe there's anything to pray to. Knock yourself out.

Dude just stop, that is a really sad attempt...

No fool I'm not.True the Fundie Christians are batshit crazy too but they at least don't fly planes into buildings or use children as homicidal bombers.

 

[MotF Bane]

The greatest new feature VB brought - I don't have to see JKing's babbling anymore.

 

[Robor]

No, I don't think it's worthy of discussion. It's a fucking movie. Fuck, you people are so stupid.

And it was 'just a cartoon' or 'just a book' and there were death threats over them.

 

[OCGuy]

Why was he even allowed to switch forums with the rest of us?

Yet another sniveling bed wetter being afraid of boogiemen is hardly news.

The hookers and blow Arabs who deemed responsible for flying the planes weren't rightly Islamic fundamentalists either. Furthermore, some Christian nutjobs murder abortion doctors, and some do things like murdering Iraqis for kicks.

2012 looks shit anyway - as far as I can tell it's just a huge piece of religious propaganda.

I don't think the Mayans are going to win many converts if this is their religious propaganda.

I feel like its the a motion picture equivalent of the "zomg world is dead" bullshit you see on Discovery anyways.

The movie is annoying. I've talked to people (who claim to be devout catholics) that now think 2012 is going to be a day of reckoning, and that 'you can't deny astrological tables' after I ask them point blank "Do you actually believe in astrology?" (FWIW I reject astrology )

I guess the job now is to figure a way to cash into all of this...if people think the world will end on that exact date, there must be a way to get them to be big spenders as the end of the world comes

If they actually tried to show the end of the world occur in Mecca or Medina I just may go see the movie...once it hits the dollar theatres. I'd be curious to see how they did it. Otherwise I don't see the problem with this.
