Passion of Muhammed?

[Disconn3cted]

People in the west will laugh at it and people in the middle east will go nuts. This will be an epic fail, someone has to stop them!

[Reise]

I have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot of feet in this movie.

[inky]

Imagine doing a Muhammed version of this... I'll start taking bets on how many people will be killed as a result.

I hope the makers don't QQ when Islam-extremists start putting out death threats and assassination attempts and ruin the whole point of the movie.

What to do in the mean time...

I wouldn't be surprised if what you said happens...

[Doppleganger]

Imagine them going for a release date of Dec 25th 2012 rofl.


I think the producers were like "omg there's 1.3 billion muslims in the world...If we make an epic lord of the rings style movie of Muhammad kickin ass they'll want to see it over and over, $10 a ticket x 1.3 billion! zomg this is gonna break the Titanic and batman records!"

But seriously wtf are they thinking.
How is this movie going to make anything any better. The only thing its going to do is piss them off and people are gonna start dieing. Nothing good is going to come out of this.

[XemnasXD]

no one is going to see it. Christians won't cause they're anti-Islam. Muslims won't because muhammad isn't supposed to be in a movie. Atheist won't because we have better things to do with our life...i don't see the target audience

[heroo]

nahh, i think many people are going to see it. It's a very contreversial movie (just look at this topic), so there's going to be alot of media attention. this movie could become very, very succesful.

An actual Islamic believer agrees, this movie is /facewall .
But do you have any other actual opinions besides that?

[Strwarrior]

they will have to hide mohammad, and his voice, etc important things, if they could do that so its ok.
the story is nice, but its gonna be hard to do, or make people watch it if everything is hidden.

When I interviewed director Roland Emmerich a few months ago about his upcoming disaster flick "2012," the first question I asked was, "Why do you like killing the world?" His response: "It makes for a good story."

Over the past fifteen years, Emmerich has crafted some great tales about global doom, featuring some spectacular scenes of destruction. He had aliens zap the White House in "Independence Day," he let a massive lizard flatten New York City in "Godzilla," and he sent killer tornadoes through downtown Los Angeles in "The Day After Tomorrow."

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."

Emmerich went on: "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. So it's just something which I kind of didn't [think] was [an] important element, anyway, in the film, so I kind of left it out."

Traditionally, a fatwa has meant religious opinion by an Islamic scholar or imam. The term has gained currency in the West after Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini issued a death sentence in the form of a fatwa against British author Salman Rushdie for alleged blasphemies in his book "The Satanic Verses" in 1989. As a result, the Indian-born writer was forced into hiding for most of the '90s.

Emmerich has no qualms about wrecking other major landmarks, however. The massive dome of St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican rolls on top of a crowd of churchgoers. The huge Christ the Redeemer statue that looms over Rio de Janeiro disintegrates. And, of course, the White House gets crushed when a wave drops the aircraft carrier John F. Kennedy on top of it.

The director was also reportedly approached by people hoping to get their famous landmarks trashed, like Taiwan's Taipei 101, which is the tallest completed building in the world. There's no word yet if that structure will meet the same on-screen fate as the Vatican and the White House. "2012" opens nationwide on November 13.

We honestly give Islam way to many perks.

[Barotix]

Perks? lol. No, there are just more Muslims willing to kill people over their religion. How many Christians would kill someone for calling Jesus a zombie? How many Muslism would kill or threaten to kill someone for showing a picture of their prophet?

Christians kill to show that killing is wrong, like killing an abortionist because they pull out a ball of cells that can't think. Christians rage over much more important matters, like pokemon being the devil, and that "socialized" healthcare is against god. All religions are idiotic in their own respects.

We're talking about radical islam or closed-minded islam. Radical christianity is just as stupid. The problem with islam though, is that its pretty much pervasive in the middle east whereas in the west, extremist christians are few in number.

Buddhism isn't even a religion. Its more like a set of teachings and guidance on how to live your life the right way, like treat all people nicely, unlike most religions

The only thing I can see wrong with Buddhism is saying that women can reach the same enlightment as men.

[devilti]

muhammed is pretty sacred to Islamic ppl. i think they will oppose this very much, since they are very religious.

they follow strict religious codes

Ruining womens' lives and blowing up cars in the middle of a crowded street. Islam is definitely not hypocritical!!

First of all, those who blow up stuff are extreme islamists, msjority is peaceful. Second Their women in the ancient times had the most freedom:) they just havnt changd, thats bcoz they follow strict codes, and dont change.

religion isnt bad, its bad when ppl fight over it.

i cant believe i had to defend islam

[/Pi]

Will it be in 3D?

[Ganja]

So if he can't be depicted then i'm guessing that it will just be a blank screen with voices in the background. Or maybe they will just pixel-ate the person who's supposed to be Muhammad.

[.Banshee]

Will Muhammed be off-screen the entire time? You hear him but you don't see him. :O

I watched a movie about the life of Muhammed. His face was never shown for the 2hours and 30minutes duration

What would I do without SRF?

So Muhammad can't be seen or heard.. I think this movie is fail.

should, but i wonder what they will do.

there's so much bullshit in this thread it's not worth pointing out the wrong.

John, you seem to ask a backup for every word a Muslim says. So, I'm quite sure a guy like you who questions every statement he hears for facts with Muslims should also ask his fellow atheists to add facts before they go blabing bullshit.

Since when the **** is blowing up cars in the middle of a crowded street connected to Islam? gtfo Jstar. Even if there is a guy who calls himself Muslim and blew up a car in the middle of a crowded street does NOT mean it's accepted. Only means you don't accept it and unless you are the finale word of all Islam you can't go around saying it an't accepted.

If you see a black guy raping a girl, does that make all black people rapists? No. If an Asian cheated on his wife, does that make all Asians cheaters? No. If a "Muslim" blew up innocent people Killed 24 people cause of a cartoon, killed a man because of a film he made about Allah, does that make all Muslims extermist is the better word? Yes. Your trying to compare acts of passion to acts of ideology. It won't work. Next time that black guy is raping in the name of his god or that asian guy is cheating in the name of his god come talk to me.
No, no and no.

Each an every suicide bombing, is an act of an individual from an organized group of people for the sake of your god.

A shocking, hearth-rending tale of gruesome honor killing of Muslim women around the world...

From the treatment of women in Muslim societies, it becomes clear that Muslim women are properties of Muslim men, mere sex-object. Muslim girls and women, often raped by close relatives—father, brother, cousin, or uncle—are supposed to keep their mouths shut, because they cannot to prove such a crime in a Shariah Court, because she needs to produce four male-witnesses, which is next to impossible. When she fails to produce the witnesses, she is prosecuted for committing adultery or fornication, and is punished with lashings, jail-terms and even stoning unto death in certain countries (Iran, Saudi).

Thus, Muslim men can rape with near-impunity, while the victims have to suffer in silence. Another side of this sad story of Muslim women is that female victims of rape or female partners of so-called illicit relationships often become the target of gruesome honor killing, when the story comes out, as we will see. So, Ms Wafa Sultan, contrasting the freedom of women in Islamic countries with that in the West, rightly says, “Now in America, I enjoy freedom. I can now talk with a male member of my next door neighbour without being convicted of committing adultery.”

In recent years, there have been numberless cases of Muslim women, and even girls as young as seven, have been the victim of Muslim honor killing for being raped, for having a premarital relationship, for falling in love and marrying someone their male family-members do not approve, or for refusing to follow Islamic dress-code or lifestyle.

You can choose to read what I posted but it's up you. Like Baro said

dude, in islam, killing self, suicide, killing normal people who didnt do anything, is ur easier way to enter hell.

any1 pretend to be a "muslim" and blow himself is an asshole, w/e newspaper says, w/e people say,
its not allowed.

[Jstar1]

You seem to miss the point why islam is "hypocritical". Islam does not support terrorism. You think I don't know that? Thats not my point though. My point is that islam is hypocritical. All religions generally promote peace and sincerity. The fact that, in the middle east, islam is a major cause of something quite opposite of peace, is why its hypocritical.

And terrorism aside, islam degrades women into 2nd class citizens. They can't own land, they can't wear what they want, they are basically slaves. I mean what kind of society on this planet forces their women wear black cloaks in the public?
