I missed the Andrew Brown thread before it closed so here are my comments ...

Cut to an old woman, saying she is 120 years old "and in all my young life, I have never seen such a murderous thug as Muhammad ? he sells the children as slaves after he and his men have used them".

Later, the prophet is shown pronouncing judgment: "Pull off his arms, and then his legs. And then his head. And do it in front of his beautiful wife, Sophia." In the event though, the victim is tied to a stake and allowed to make a speech begging God to give his descendants the land of Palestine before being stabbed with a sword. The lovely Sophia is then dragged off to the prophet's bed

This film is purely and simply an incitement to religious hatred. It stokes hatred in both of its intended audiences ? Christians and Jews in the US, and Muslims in the wider world

well these things do happen and actually I don't think the film should be banned. While it may be biased to imply that child abuse only comes from Moslems that is not really the intention. You don't know what experiences led up to its creation ? probably some real ones if its that emotive as to provoke such an angry reaction from you ? similarly if someone wanted to make a film about priests that molest choirboys that would cause a controversy and maybe outrage some catholics but thats not necessarily the idea ? its just the setting in which you were abused tends to stick in your mind and become an association. Progressive people would understand that ?

I’ve been reading the various reports on Hillsborough. It’s really difficult to explain how shocked I am at the extent of the cover-up.
